Fools Gold - Paper Version., by retroboy on Jul 9, 2008 16:34:37 GMT 1, Thanks to everyone for your interest in my work. Due to a lot of interest with "Fool's Gold" in particular I'm contemplating a 'paper edition' as the canvas' are on hold for an exhibition. I'm proposing an edition of ten plus one AP which I will be keeping. Size will be roughly 40x40cms on 320gsm ragged edge paper.
These will all be slightly individual due to the amount of hand painting/drawing/smudging involved and individually signed and numbered.
Cost will be ยฃ50 + (ยฃ5 p&p) with 20% going to charity:
10% of all proceeds going to the National Autistic Society: www.nas.org.uk and 10% to Children's Hospices UK www.childhospice.org.uk
I have had some interest away from the forum so thought I'd see if any of you guys and gals here are at all interested? PM to let me know and we'll see how we go from there.
Cheers,
Retro

Fools Gold - Paper Version., by loucastel on Jul 9, 2008 21:57:29 GMT 1, Fools gold is excellent, love the detail to the hands, interesting to see an artist who can do hands that good, on canvas fantastic, I should imagine it has a lot of depth to it with the different media used, dont think I would be over keen on paper as a print ,think you may lose a lot of the definition and end up with something quite flat.
Would like to see more like this one!!

Fools Gold - Paper Version., by retroboy on Jul 10, 2008 9:56:52 GMT 1, Hi everyone,
Quick update. got a close up shot of some detail of the canvas for you:
Also to clarify that the proposed 'paper' version is not a print, it will be produced in exactly the same way and process as the canvas version, stenciled, then hand painted/drawn/scribbled/smudged etc but on heavy watercolour paper. As I said it's just a proposal at this stage, will be doing some experiments over the weekend and will keep everyone posted to see how it goes and if it will work in this way.
I won't be expecting anyone to totally commit until they've seen the paper version, which hopefully should be some time next week.
Hope that's everything covered, any other questions then let me know.
Good weekends all,
Retro
