Circuits

A nice visit to the recently opened and very good Drift Gallery in Nantwich today.

Most of the day was working on the new panel painting, the underdrawing and the marking of the holes. My conundrum: If you flip the circuit board below over, how do you ensure the holes you'll mark and drill in the panel are in the exact place of those three nuts?

There are many options. The unevenness of the circuit board complicates some of them, such as laying over tracing paper. In the end I rolled out a layer of plasticine and pressed the board into it, then used that as a template to mark a paper template. It worked perfectly, the holes are in exactly the right place.

Next step it to test how it will all fit in the frame. Only then can I start painting.
