My latest art experiments and places visited

My experiments with the Mische Technique continue and I'm progressing from my very first attempts. I've also had a "trip of a lifetime" to Egypt .

latest place visitedLatest place visited

Egypt: Luxor is a place I only thought of as existing in the bible. And when I visited it, it looked like it still belonged in the bible. Cars and trucks mingle on crowded roads with donkeys and camels. Farmers and agriculture are situated right next to the city.

Please no photo
The Valley of the Kings remains a mystery. You can't take photos in the tombs, but you can take them outside...

Ancient sits next to brand new. From Luxor, I visited the Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple, Collosus of Memnon, Luxor Temple and even managed to float down the Nile in a brightly coloured boat. Visit my Egypt page to see more photos.

Mische Technique: After a visit to Bethnal Green Museum of Childhood, I decided to create a painting based on my sketches.

egg tempera
Punch and Judy: painted using the Mische technique and based on sketches from the Bethnal Green Museum of Childhood.

The Mische technique sounded like such a bizarre technique that I had to try it. It involves using egg tempera paints and a series of oil glazes. Find out how I got on my Mische Technique page.
