Isolation stone: new method used




The stones above are made in the same technique as u may have previously known. But this time I used some powdered lead from some colored pencils (red and black) to create this effects. Putting the powdered lead whilst the paint is still fresh and wet with oil, makes the powder stick.

Thus creates a shadowy figure or image.

The name given to this stone is called isolation. I got the idea from the world war II, about colonisation of countries and places during the war. This map may show the dark ones portraying water, or burnt buildings and white ones are places that haven't been hit yet by the fire or war, and the red ones portraying death, blood, in those areas. And isolation of people during the war with many different reasons is one of the factor on how I felt making this stone.

The main location of which this stone or map came from does not exist as from the previous stones are done with real maps. This is due to just following the stones organic structure and the colour of the stone, which recreated this map type of image.

kevin i said i will comment this...when you said to me, for comment it, i see the work and feel something strange on it.
now i know...its the curves of the drawing, put it on a strait lines stone. The lines of the drawing have a style of a tatto, tribal, decorative...and they do not fix on a very rect and sharp form.
The ink technique with pigment, has to be further worked on and try it, to get better sthetic results.
