Tantric illustraion relating to palmistry. Rajasthan, probably Mewar, circa 1820-40. Opaque watercolour with gold and silver on wasli. 15.2 x 10.2cm
As I have said before, but now looking deeper into my project....My PDP....
For my Brief I
have decided to use ‘ Hands’ as my theme ,basing the idea on ‘Palmistry’,
The lines on
our hands can often be like the rings on a tree trunk, indicating our roots, our
abilities and character traits and our
destinys.
I am going to
explore the human hands and the mark we as artists leave on the world in a
colourful and explorative way.
I will be
focussing on the shape, lines and forms of the hands ,and hopefully creating
an exciting and visually interesting piece.

I would like to make multiple hand shaped prints
on handmade paper,and experiment with Batik dyeing and using inks to create
unique and different effects.
I would like to take handprints from volunteers
in our class , friends and family.and print them onto handmade paper using
perspex and using monoprint.
The mediums I would like to experiment with are
oils, acrylics,gouache ,printmaking, dyeing ,batik, handmade paper and
collage.
