WOODCUT PROGRESS REPORT

Andrij Maday — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 02:28:05 +0000

Recently a recall necessitated my taking the car to the dealer for a checkup.

I took advantage of the waiting time to continue work on the latest woodcut. It is slowly but surely moving along during breaks from painting.

The end is in sight!!

“MEETING OF THE LORD” ICON IN PROGRESS

Andrij Maday — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 17:23:41 +0000

A large new Icon of “THE MEETING OF THE LORD IN THE TEMPLE” is currently in the works.

Shown on top is the piece laid out on polyflax. Acrylic base colors have been applied, as has 22k gold leaf.

The bottom photo shows the robes etc. being painted in layers over the initial base colors.

Stay tuned………….

SAINT OLGA IN THE WORKS…………

Andrij Maday — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 19:04:19 +0000

Work on a new Icon of SAINT OLGA has begun.

The small 8×10″ “patron saint” Icon is shown in the first four stages of execution: The drawing of the image on the prepared wood panel (with the “cartoon” visible on the left), the gilding of the halo and background with 22k gold and finally the completed underpainting.

With the prep work done, the slow process of “writing” the Icon can begin!

More to come.

Stay tuned…….

In the meantime, on to the next project!

LAST OF THE OLD / FIRST OF THE NEW

Andrij Maday — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 23:53:07 +0000

TWO RECENT WOODCUTS IN PROGRESS:

The last of 2011 and the first 0f 2012!

A week or so ago I was cleaning out the background on the “ASPARAGUS” woodcut with a mallet and large chisel. Hearing the tapping, my nephew came running excitedly asking: “Where’s the camera? We’re missing a photo opportunity!!” In any case the photo was taken, hence the finished carving waiting to be printed!

On the right, is the first piece of the New Year. The beginnings of a new carving. The drawing was made on the block with India Ink and a brush. The block was then stained a rust color. This will allow the cuts being made to be clearly visible.
