CMYK paintingColour experiment...


As I've been exploring the tonal qualities of different colour so far this year (mainly reds, browns and blues) I decided to experiment with the 4 litho colours CMYK separately and together as litho CMYK separation features largely in my professional work. Here's part of a self portrait using all 4. There's minimal use of white. I'm interested in using the mono characteristics of each colour to convey emotion. More to follow...

Back to the big smeary stuff this week. Can't say it was an easy return after weeks of precision pencil work.. bit like trying to get a shopping trolley going in a straight-line!
