As I explore grisaille enamel – I thought I would experiment with pre-Raphaelite style, as it seemed particularly suited to grisaille. I found this image of a Dante Rossetti painting in a book about the Saints.
It’s amazing how pervasive this image of the warrior woman is. It has always been particularly inspiring to me, much more so than ‘mother and child’.
I am SO enjoying painting. It’s very satisfying. I can also complete a grisaille in a day, while champleve takes me six days before I see the results. I have some more cloisonne projects ready to go, so I will be posting them soon.
