Choosing colours

Spoilt for choice...

A world of colour sits in my paint trolley.

'Reeds'

The choice is entirely mine,

there are no rules.

It is a personal thing.

'Reach'

I love bright colour but I have noticed 

that some colour combinations 

look better for my monotype prints. 

'Shadow'

Neutral colours seem happy in the off-white 

mount mat and simple black frame.

'Gap'

I like the sense of mystery about these prints.

Many are like abstract landscapes.

Some are purely shapes and marks,

lines and scratches but they tell a 'story'.

'Dawn'

It seems incredible that only a few weeks ago

this adventure with printmaking was just starting

whilst taking a break from my oil painting.

After some trials with different inks and paint

I settled with Golden Open Acrylics.

My favourite paper is smooth white 200-300gsm.

'Season'

The slower drying of Golden Open is helpful 

when pulling the print from a gel plate. 

 I have time to manipulate the paint and paper.

I think my printmaking will continue.

That's all for now.

Thank you for visiting...
