River Dancers

A monoprint from the tale of the Snow Queen of overlapping stencils. This is from the scene where Gerda is taken away from her home by the river to begin her journey.

Dancing Dreams

A monoprint I made for the story of the Snow Queen when Gerda is sneaking into the summer palace and sees the dancing dreams of the royal sleepers as shadows on the wall. I used stencils of dancers which overlapped.

I really like the colours I get from overlapping colours in the print work shop and the freedom I had with the composition as I was able to move the stencils around.

Illustrations from the Snow Queen

Recently I've been working on some illustrations from the Hans Christian Anderson Tale the Snow Queen. This image illustrates the scene the roses come to back to life and Gerda is talking to them. I used graphite and colour pencil. I'm still experimenting with the qualities of colour pencils.
