Tidal Zone
Entered in Ergon Energy - Contemporary Art Award Section. Contemporary painting with any medium/subject, is open and non-acquisitive. Found this a frustrating painting as never got onto the canvas what I had in my head but did manage to 'finish' it in time. Am wondering if a glaze of purple would lift it.

This is the photo I worked from - enhanced the colour saturation in Photoshop and then as you see by the painting further pushed colour saturation when painting it. Found the water a challenge and overall am happy with the results. I want to try doing more water scenes to improve the reflections as when the light hits the water it reflects in so many different shapes and ways depending on the time of day, the wind etc.

Thanks - I had a 'vision' in my head of saturated colours and the glow on the rocks as the sun hits them - didn't get exactly as I imagined but am a step further along than last year! Brush time is the only answer I think!

I really like the colours. You have managed to achieve a lovely glow on the rocks.

I think purple would be splendid. I love it the way it is though. Very soothing and beautiful.

So once i have my image printed onto transparency film, I take my Ezscreen silk screen which has been coated in light sensitive emulsion (These sheets come pre-coated so they are ready to use). Place it onto a black board, then place the transparency image on top (this part needs to be done in a dark room with no direct sunlight). I take it outside and expose it for 1 minute and 40 seconds (but time varies depending on time of day and strength of sunlight). After i have exposed the image i place it into a tub of water for around 5 - 8 minutes. Then i rinse the screen out under fast running water until the unexposed area (the black) washes away. I then expose the screen to the sun for a further 20mins to completely harden the light sensitive emulsion.
And this is the completed screen ready for printing. I simply use an old credit card to spread the ink over the screen making sure i do one complete full stroke across the screen (holding the credit card at a 45 degree angle). I immediately wash the screen out under fast flowing water and pat dry. I use fabric screen printing ink which washes out in water (which makes the process easy).
I love this product, their website is http://ezscreenprint.com/ (for full instructions and details on how to purchase this awesome product).
