Print 1. Project 3: Backdrawing experimentation

Print 1. Project 3: Backdrawing stage 2
Backdrawing from life I first decided to trial a new registration method that I read about in one of our textbooks. The idea is to help keep the paper in place whilst layers are built up. Normally I wouldn’t have … Continue reading →
Print 1. Project 3: Backdrawing stage 1
Again, I started with something simple to get the idea of back drawing. The plate was inked with red, a previous ghost print of my eagle design was placed over the surface and a design was drawn on to the … Continue reading →

Print 1. Project 3: Experimentation

Print 1. Project 3: Two coloured masked monoprints
Here I am combining both positive and negative masks within each print, thereby achieving a two coloured outcome, hopefully accurately aligned. In my last project I used plastic coated paper to make my masks but am using photocopy paper for … Continue reading →
