Street

When I first finish the plate I decided I didn’t like it anymore, because I thought it would look too cartoonish once printed, so I tucked it away in one of my art books. It was not until the end of the semester when I realized that I didn’t have enough prints then I decide to give thi one ago. I only had time to try the black ink and the result was surprisingly good.

It looks moody, the smooth nude figure against the dark scratchy back ground creates contrast and it tells a story. I named “Street” because even though the focus is on the façade and the figure but as a viewer you can’t help but wonder what was happening on the street that has caught her attention. I am pretty happy with the end result. Architecture and landscapes are areas that I would like to explore more of especially in prints.
