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...
