*assumes Cpt Jean Luke Piccard voice..* Print - a whole new medium to explore.Honestly, it's pant wettingly exciting! This is a quick monoprint, taken from an image of Italy in a magazine. Yeah, struggling for inspiration a tad, but I love the result. We were introduced to this cute little technique as part of a fast n furious Saturday morning workshop. Laying the paper gently over the ink, sizing up the evil Honesty (a plant I now despise thanks to art classes) and 'drawing' into the paper with the arse end of a biro... Magical. What have I drawn? What will t
he monoprint look like?Then comes the precious little moment when you peel back the paper and discover your image for the first time. Even the accidental marks and smudges are appealing and just make the image. The voids too.
Since then, we've finally started a Print module. More monoprinting ensued, and dry point too! Manically scratching lines into perspex, followed by the rest of the process (which involved kinda 'stroking' the plate with scrim) and again, waiting to see what happened. I could go on about it for hours. But I'll save it for now..I'm mid-migraine and am struggling with co-ordination and brain stuffery. *toddles off to find pj's*
