CROWNS OF CHRISTMAS LUNCH BY ISSY ODDIE

These are my pictures for reminisce.....

Initial sketch is based on 4 paper christmas cracker crowns.
To me they are the crown of family xmas gatherings and the impending excess that makes a traditional holiday so brilliant, good times, good times :)

So I went from a pen and watercolour picture, to a basic hard ground etching, then I accidentally did a really heavy Aqua tint... So then I had to sand it back, and then I added some chine colle for a little bit of colour. I like how they’ve ended up a little abstract, could almost look like a mountain scape.
