Ink and bleach on canvas. 11in. x 16in.
During the early part of the course, as part of the art & design basic skills students learn a range of mark making techniques. One of these is painting bleach onto black ink to achieve an effect. Bleach on wet ink creates a diffuse, abstract result and on dry ink a more controlled, drawn finish. Later in the course Mark chose to specialise in illustration and utilised these techniques further. He made a set of drawings of London hotels, photocopied them and cut away all the windows. This was then glued onto canvas and ink and bleach were painted over where the windows had been removed. Coloured inks were applied to complete the illustration.
