Tokaanu

Here are some more prints and paintings.
The
pictures begin as thumbnail sketches on scraps of paper, sometimes
using watercolour pencils which when you wet them, give deeper
colours.
Then
in my studio I collage the various drawings together to arrive
at my desired composition, and draw a full size cartoon of
this image which serves as the guide for the first few silkscreen
stencils. From then on, the print is worked much like a painting,
with colours and textures added until the image is resolved.

Waipu
river
This is a limestone creek in a kauri forest.
Waipu means red water, the earth is ochre there, it's
warm and it rains a lot.
Beautiful place.

Pilgrims
This is another triptych of silkscreen prints.
Each image is A4 size, and depicts the setting for Buller's
exploration up the West Coast.
In this print I used a lot of silver pigment, which doesn't
reproduce well in a photograph.
