Hello. While the painting of the animal's faces and habitats are coming along I've also been working on the idea of a screen or possibly a triptych. I have always been fascinated and frightened of underwater seascapes - the effects of growing up watching Jacques Cousteau perhaps. Which has only increased as underwater exploration has developed along with the technology to take such wonderful photographs. It also ties in with seeing a programme about the concern surrounding overfishing - so a local seascape it is!

This is the prototype I've made and painted. It is only A4 size and I
haven't painted it in detail yet. But I needed to see how well hinges
made out of fabric worked and whether I should do more cut out pieces or fewer.

I have gone back into Illustrator and adjusted the shape on this one and have also created another screen. The new one will show woodland, river and loch. The two side panels will close neatly on top of the centre panel and interlock - well they do as bits of paper! Tomorrow - when I cut it out - will tell me if my measurements are accurate.

The outline. I think this could still be worked on before it's cut out.
Most of the interest is in the painting, but looking at just the shape I think
I could make it bolder.

The Tree Screen. I will leave any judgement until it is cut out
and then painted. |
