Cheval / Horse. monotype sur papier / monotype on paper - 9x13 cm. 2008

Un monotype de cheval inspiré des dessins anatomiques de George Stubbs, et des photographies d'Edward Curtis. Le fond a été passé en plusieurs encrages, un procédé certes un peu lent, mais plus prudent si l'on tient à ne pas endommager le dessin proprement dit.

This is a monotype much inspired by George Stubbs' horse anatomy plates, but also by old photographs of Edward Curtis. The textured background was done in several successive prints, until I got the tone I was hoping for. It's a bit long, but I prefer doing carefully than ruining the drawing by painting with to much ink for the second print.
