Today I assisted Anthony with the Stations of the Cross commission. As I stated in my first post, the stations are currently drawn out. The plan is to perfect the compositions of the drawings. Anthony explained that it is difficult as each station is being made up of 12 ceramic tiles, so you need to create a perfect composition, then "tweak" it in order that none of the figures' heads or hands are cut off by the edges of the tiles. Each of the pieces of the compositions are all done on separate pieces of tracing paper in order for us to change the compositions without having to redraw them. When the compositions are complete, each station will be scanned and printed onto canvas, then painted, then transferred to ceramic tile.
