Work In Progress: Miner’s Wives 2.

Here’s a second version of a screen print transparency I’m making about the glorious South Wales Miner’s Wives from the 1984-1985 strike. It’s based on some pen and ink sketches from contemporary press photos and I’m trying out different materials to redraw the image onto Mark Resist film. This is drawn with Lihtographic Tusche and an Isabey squirrel brush. 

I like the tonal qualities of it but there’s nowhere near enough detail. I’ll need to work into it with some pens,
