Autonomous Solar

thomashooper — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 13:29:04 +0000

These four pieces were created in preparation for the Metanoia exhibition in august.
Half way through the process for the final pieces for that show I scanned them, then printed them digitally onto watercolor paper using the giclee printing technique, (by master printer Jay Foran).
I then worked on these before finally completing the work for that show.
The four paintings entitled Autonomous Solar are my exploartion into using a heavy amount of stippling/poitilism on paper. I then textured these and added some subtle depth.

These four ‘sketches’ are for sale on my web-store, they are original paintings utilizing ink jet printing as part of the process.

The Last Straw

Ben’s back is finished, it went by quickly, 29 1/2 hrs in 12 sessions.

It was alot of fun and great to see my work evolve so quickly on a large canvas, it gives me alot of ideas……..

I made a little video of the photographs I took whilst it was in progress and some shots of it being done on the last day.

I hope you enjoy it, please excuse its crudality as I’m only a novice at editing video. (also it was still healing at the bottom, so its a little crusty!)
