Drawing for "Seduction", Early 18th Century Frock Coat.

 

This is me drawing the Lily image for "Seduction", an Early 18th Century Frock Coat that was inspired by the film "Valmont". I am drawing with Koh-i-Nor opaque ink directly onto the Mylar using a fine-nib calligraphy pen. The image was then exposed to a photo-positive, ball-grained aluminium lithography plate. I then printed the image onto 100% Silk Dupione. In order to have symmetrical, "mirror image" for the front of the Frock Coat, I flipped the drawing and exposed it to a second photo-positive litho plate. I printed each plate onto a single piece of 100% Silk Dupione. I added more image to this Mylar in order to create the plates for the two back panels of the Frock Coat, the sleeves, cuffs and the back pleat.
