THE TECHNIQUE – PEN AND INK – OR PEN, INK AND SCALPEL BLADE  DRAWINGS     Working by naked eye only, of course, these very highly 'detailed` pen and ink drawings of Richard Kennedy`s favourite rock music acts - especially Jethro Tull and Pink Floyd - are entirely made-up of 'dots` of ink using a needle-point pen, to, finally, achieve a maximum tonal range ('depth`) and 'detail`. Indeed, the same highly exacting techniques as used and described in our 'Rural Subjects` gallery. However, in the case of most of these drawings, the additional use of the 'tip` of a scalpel blade 'on top` of the 'dots` of ink, adds an even greater 'depth` and 'detail` to the picture. Completed towards the end of the 1980s., when our Gallery was in Bridport, West Dorset, in the particular case of the Jethro Tull pictures, every part of each composition and detail shows a great knowledge of the legendary group`s music and career. It all seems a long time ago when the Artist broke away from boarding school in Cheltenham to travel down to the Colston Hall, Bristol with friends to see Jethro Tull  on the 'Stand Up` tour there in 1969!  A sound early escapade .........!    ROCK N' ROLL - LATEST TECHNOLOGY PRINTS   These are all highest quality lithographs printed on 250-300 gsm. art paper using the latest technology.
