Photographs from Leigh On Sea
By Josh Stead
Work by a variety of ar;sts whose work we saw at Leigh on Sea where we visited to take photographs and experiment with pain;ng and using graphic pencils.
Influences of Steve Robson Paul Nash Edward Hopper
Samuel Palmer I chose these 3 pictures by Paul Nash, Edward Hopper and Samuel Palmer as they use similar techniques to Stephen Robson such as the colours printed and the tones used in the pictures.
Stephen Robson
Stephen Robson • Stephen Robson joined Greenwich Printmakers in 2010. He went to
goldsmith’s. college and has a background in teaching and working in photography. He is strongly drawn to the work of ar;sts such as Samuel Palmer, Edward Hopper and Paul Nash. The Thames estuary and the coast of Norfolk and Suffolk have been favourite subjects.
• I have chosen these images as I like the dull and gloomy colours used. I also like the lack of details in the images, giving it more of a simple but effec;ve look to it. The lack of colour makes it much more effec;ve making it more gloomy.
• Steven Robson uses etching and mono-‐prin;ng as a technique, and possibly water colour or prin;ng ink to add to the picture. In a lot of his images he has an object or a place that your eye is drawn to. In some examples the sea or sky are the eye catching bit.
Prin;ng in the style of Steve Robson
Diana CroV Diana Cro) is a painter and printmaker who specializes in making hand-‐produced collographs in small edi;ons. The prints are richly coloured and textured, oVen using layers of hand-‐made papers and gold and silver-‐leaf. Although given edi;on numbers, the prints all vary resul;ng in each one being a unique piece. I like the images I have chosen as the Images below as the colours stand out and they are very eye catching. I also like the images chosen as they are similar to my pictures and are the same style to my pieces of work. I also like the use of heavy tone and line use in the pictures of which I have chosen. I like the style of using =ssue paper for colour. There would be other subjects I would rather be interested in as all of her work is themed on the country side and my work is set on the sea side such as Leigh-‐on sea therefore the work is slightly different to my work. Diana Cro) uses composi=on due to her colour balance as she creates a feeling of distance in the picture as the background uses a lot lighter colours to the front of the picture.
