| Storm at Sea 2/5 combination print 14x14cm ©2015Lisa Le Quelenec |
These three prints are part of an experiment to combine two techniques. Using a perspex plate I used the drypoint needle to scratch the sea and the pebbles on the beach. In the sky area I used an acrylic fibers medium to create the stormy clouds. I didn't notice at first as each time I was also trying out a different style of inking up the plate but each time that I inked up for another print a little of the acrylic medium was detaching from the plate and the sky area was slowly disintegrating. In a way each of these is a monoprint as the plate was different for each impression. I really like the idea of the plate changing during the process like the clouds changing during the storm and the storm gradually dissipating - serendipitous printmaking.

Oh, this was a very happy accident, the sky changing like that - as if the plate itself could not contain the stormy clouds and sky!! Beautiful :)
ReplyDeletevery neat :) works really well to give that raging changing storm look ;0
ReplyDeleteHi Rhonda, thank you. Accidents are the very useful sometimes. I think some of my best learning comes from accidents and working out how it went wrong so that I can replicate and manipulate the result.
ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer, thank you.
Each has so much to offer! So creative - so unique. Love your description of the plate changing like the clouds changing. Great post!
