Starting From Scratch

Here's a detail shot of the oil painting from my current two piece project. Since the other half was a print, I decided to emulate the feel of an etching by scratching in some rough lines with a nail. Unfortunately, I ended up with a painting that looks like an etched print and a print that looks like an oil painting. Sigh.

The Public Eye

An oil painting/monoprint tandem project. The two images are meant to relate and bounce off one another. I was going for a two-panel sequence of a security camera type of deal.



I'm really pleased with how the monoprint's cracked static image turned out but I'm afraid it's not very congruent with the scratched-in style of the oil painting. I don't consider these fully resolved pieces and will try and work back into one or the other or both tomorrow morning before class and see what I can do. We'll see how it turns out. At this point I just need some shuteye.
