After the initial cyanotype experiments I started exploring the mark-making to see what other effects I could get. The first experiment ‘Passage Study’ explores more subtle variations of application that follow the locations of various parts of the image. It got a bit confusing and reduces the contrast between the mark-making of photograph against brush stroke. Perhaps limiting the amount of marks so it does not get too meticulous would be the way to develop this avenue. But as for the other two ‘blobs’ . . . well, what was I thinking of there then? Yes it is possible to create many different types of mark but, well really, this is not going anywhere. Perhaps the abstract nature of the winding stair rails and balustrades could be reworked better, but the curly blobs . . . well take the blueprint back to the drawing board. Pun intended . . . well it is my blog. Face failure with humour, then try again.
