My 1st thought was to draw Audrey H., but I got distracted by some new ideas for the stagnant blue WIP canvas. I've got most of it sketched out now. Hope to have some time in April to bring it all together....
Due to the time-crunch, I've gone archive diving again. This lovely lady seems to fit. She is a life size drawing in lithocoal & chromacoal on thick etching paper.
By the way, I love D'uva Lithocoal products! Comes as stick, powder or liquid & is fully erasable until you heat set it. Then it is permanent without fixative. Not easy to find anymore though.....hmm...what is it with my favorite products going extinct?
I was sooo sad the day Polaroid announced they were eliminating film 669 (among others) It's my fave for transfers. Here are a couple more on marble tiles that are now available at ArtSnark.etsy.com . Click on the pic to go straight to the details :
SorrowThese are both emulsion transfers of charcoal drawings
So Naive
So NaiveOn the plus side, I heard a rumor that Fuji has a film similar to 669 on the market. Has anybody heard anything? I'll have to get googling. The last of my film stash is expired & temperamental but still works okay most of the time. I'm down to 3 boxes tho...
THanks Artsnark! I just posted the "poise" image and almost put the same Audrey quotation as yours .

ReplyDeleteHi there
ReplyDeleteFirstly, yes Fuji FP100c is a similar beast to 669, I am already well into my 2nd year of experimenting with it. But be warned that while it makes similar photos, emulsion lifts are tricky and not really catered for by fuji, there is no adhesive on the back so it's hard to get it to stick to things and it just doesn't have the same feel...
And as a quick second note.. thanks for leaving a comment about my work on the VAST blog, but if you want to be entered into the giveaway, you need to add it to the giveaway posting on my blog instead....
All the best xx
