This week at the print workshops I attended I did some monoprints of sections of hands which I really enjoyed :)...monoprinting involves drawing what you want to print on a sheet of acetate, rolling on the lightest colour of ink, taking away what you want to keep white using a cloth dipped in white spirits and then printing it in the printing press. You keep repeating this process for all the rest of the colours you want to print. Here are some of the results...
I tried to get the ink to be as close to the colour of skin as possible but I don't think it work out that well. It was a good learning curve though as it was my first ever monoprint.
In this print I used used red for my first colour and blue as my second colour and was much more effective than trying to recreate the colours of the skin.
I'm really looking forward to more monoprinting next week and moving onto drypoint etching aswell :)
