Girl in a Field of Blue
This is Nikki a redbubble member. For now this is NIkki and she has requested blue flowers which are her favorite. I hope you like it Nikki, this is a mock up for a print that I will be doing this year. As a printmaker, I first do my original sketches by Photoshop, my imagination has more fun. Then after the design and colour I then figure out whether to turn it into a woodcut print, or an etching or even a lino cut.
If you would like to become a part of my art portfolio then send me a picture of yourself, mostly woman or girls and their eyes which is what I am interested in.
Meanwhile, this is the first stage of my creative thinking into making a print. Billy
1. First layer photographs. Portrait, landscape, sky, lots of layers
2. Then I like to posteredge it….
3. Then I change the Hue
4. Then I like to add flowers, work on the eyes.
5.Then I change the size to a larger scale
6. Then I add colour in different spots and darken or lighten areas.
Voila, like a painting you know when its done!
STAGE ONE OF DRAWING NIKKI – date 3.4.08
STAGE TWO OF DRAWING NIKKI – date 7.4.08
FINISHED DRAWING – date 12.4.08

Yummmy work! I’d love to see where you take this one, BillyLee (what method you will employ for the next step in it’s creation).
BillyLee in reply to ginnymac’s comment, 5 months ago
Thanks Ginny, I like this, I can’t wait to make it into a print because no matter how much I enjoy making them in my photoshop, its really about getting them onto the printing press that excites me. I like the colours..I did it in 7 different colours but I like this the best.

Hey NIkki, I like it too, but you know its not the actual fine art, this will be either a painting or a print in the coming year…then you will see yourself and well, I don’t know…but this is just th mock up to my work that is coming.
Nikki Mulkern, 5 months ago
Ya I know this is just a mock up to your work to come, but I really do love how this looks!!
You will have to show me a shot of the finished print or painting whenever it’s done. =)
BillyLee in reply to Nikki Mulkern’s comment, 5 months ago

Wonderful work – very interesting to read all about printmaking – sounds fun! Are you still looking for pictures? :-)
BillyLee in reply to Jennifer Woodward’s comment, 5 months ago
Yes, Jennifer, am going to draw and print make Nikki next but then after that will be getting ready for my next piece, have you got something for me? That would be so great. Off to look at your art right now. B
BillyLee in reply to Elaine van Dyk’s comment, 5 months ago
Elaine, I’m thinking another etching but it might be time for a lino cut. Gosh I don’t know, I have been carving wood all day. Now off to do my favorite thing of all…shallac shallac shallac, I love the smell of Shallac! Yes, I am weird!

Andy Harris, 4 months ago
super layer blending… great effect!
BillyLee in reply to Antanas’s comment, 4 months ago
Thanks Antanas, I am really just trying to find something to paint and draw and this seems the best way..if you have anything that you think that would look great in a drawing or painting let me know because I need to do so many to get through college. I think you know what I like, woman with eyes, within landscapes. Thankss Antanas. Billy
BillyLee in reply to Andy Harris’s comment, 4 months ago
Thanks Andy, it does take forever but when you consider how much longer a drawing and painting takes its probably nothing. I do them for my paintings, which is how I get my inspiration. Do you have any landscapes you think would look good with a woman superimposed in them. I am looking for collaborators. Billy

BillyLee, really enjoyed reading your description and the above comments…your work is amazing and inspiring, look forward to the finished piece, no matter what way you choose to go I know it will be wonderful…If you need any other images, bubble mail me…well done and enjoy xoxo
BillyLee in reply to Kym Breeze’s comment, 4 months ago
Thanks Kym, I do need images of woman or yourself!!! Lying down like NIkki looking into the camera lens. LYing on couch, with blankets or duva around you. I need the eys, but your face would be great….with your hair…I would love to do one of you. Think about it…it would be wonderful. I’m still working on Nikki but I would love one of you. B
Kym Breeze, 4 months ago
BillyLee thank you, will fish one out, let me know where to send it….I would love to receive the magical treatment from you…..talk soon, cheers xox
BillyLee in reply to Kym Breeze’s comment, 4 months ago
Send it to belinda.nye@bigpond.com
I have a feeling it will be great. Keep it simple Kym, just give me your hair, eyes, bare shoulders , wrap yourself up in something….and stare at the lens …gosh excited….I think you will inspire me so much. Billy…Oh and tell me your favorite colours, flowers, landscapes, what you like, where you would love to go to dream something. B

This is a nice collaboration, indeed..
yes.. seems easy when you tell us how it can be done..
but the secret still is laying in your artistry and imagination..
Lovely result.. more than one is going to queue for being transformed into a magic portraiture.
