Following on from my indecisiveness about the other contenders for the Whitstable print, I opted for what I now call 'I love Whitstable', featuring a bottle of tabasco sauce to represent an 'I' and a pair of overlapping oysters rpresenting the 'love' heart. Keen to water no further time, you can see that this shot is taken on the train home, where I produced a quick layout which I then traced through in permanent black pen onto bleedproof paper. Thus I could be ready to do a quick colour study over the top in watercolour to check how my seperate lino 'plates' need to be organised.
