*************
I made earlier monoprints of my linocuts by combining pastel drawing, acrylics or ink with linocuts. Now I decided to try making a background for a picture by printing a monotype / monoprint. I cropped the area for the monoprint with masking tape on a piece of plastic, covered the areas for two magpie linocuts with two separate pieces of plastic, and applied lino colour with a roller and brush. I wanted to have some snow flakes on the sky in the background, so I sprayed some drops of water on the colour. I removed the masking tapes from the border, put a piece of paper on the colour and pressed the picture with a wooden spoon in order to transfer the colour on the paper. Then I removed the plastic pieces on the magpie places and printed two linocuts of magpies on the picture. Finally I highlighted some snow flakes with pastel. It is fun to make monotypes / monoprints, a bit messy, but surely I will continue my experiment even on larger works.
Ensimmäinen vedos, taivas on liian tasavärinen ilman vesipiraroita. / The first print, not enough texture on the sky without drops of water. |
