Eucalyptus Oil Print


This is  a eucalyptus oil print that I made of a spider. I took this photo 5 years ago when we went to Vietnam on a family vacation. I chose to do this picture because I know that these prints bleed the ink a bit, and thought that a huge spider could take advantage of that by making it look even more furry and scary. After making the print, I wanted to add some emphasis to the top of the spider because it was quite light so I carefully watercoulored the real colours of the spider into some of the white spaces.I also added a bit of blue to it's legs and face. I think that adding the coulor was a really good way to separate the spider from the backround and define the different parts of it. I was not sure if the colour would even turn out, but when I saw how it turned out I was really pleased with it.
