Title- Untitled By Loo
Oil on linen
This is my first attampt at painting on linen primed with bunny skin glue and it was fantastic, the paint just gluided on and mixed beautifully on the linen. The whole process was great, to learn how the old masters used to make a canvas was brilliant and i really love the start to finish process. The painting didn't turn out to bad either, my initial drawing up is what let it down, not getting the angles correct really made a difference but over all it turned out ok. Will definatly be using bunny skin glue alot more!!

Yet another unfinished drawing. I have a problem drawing hands and feet so i tend to leave them out hence my pic turn to look creepy.

Title- Little Creep

Just a simple pencil drawing, not sure whether to develop him more or just leave him as is. Make sure you smile back!

Untitled Collograph print
By Alyce Burton
I really enjoyed doing the collograph prints, they are similar to the soft and hard ground but give you these incredible background texture where the board has been peeled away. This print is fairly large being 60cm length and about 20co width.

BloodPainter

I was listening to Triple J on Friday the 13th and their sfternoon guest was a man by the name of Dr REV, a BloodPainter!! A totally inspiring man, not only is he a bloodpainter but also a tattoo artist, photographer, painter and sculpture. His work is amazing and beautiful. When painting in his own blood he is able to get so much tonal value, it's really incredible!! I really suggest you check his work out. You can get to his web page by clicking on the link to your right!!! Check him out, his work will open your eyes to truly beautiful work.

Title- Self Protrait
Medium- Oil on canvas
This painting was done following a brief. We had to choose a colour combination, for example, tint-tone white and I chose Black-Shade-Colour. It was difficult to work out how I was going to approch this colour scheme but once i got started i became quite straight forward. I really like the impact the black-shade-colour combination has and have started a series of paintings in thi scheme. I will have to do my own arms again as i have had more tattoos put on them.
