The beach to themselves

Two collagraph monoprints with added coloured pencil - experiments with materials. I used a variety of materials on the collagraph plates - mostly different textured papers. For the sand ripples above I used sandpaper and in the piece below I glued loose sand to the plate before varnishing. It has given very different effects. As always it seems with collagraph the art is in the inking - I continue to learn with each and every print. It is such a satisfying process.

  3. Two more gorgeous pieces, Lisa. The second piece with the addition of the sand is pretty interesting :)

  5. Thank you so much Judy. The process is a joy - I quite enjoy geeking out experimenting with different materials ;o) I'm loving your eco prints too. It is a good time of year for trying new things and watching videos on you tube.

    Well hello there long time no see Caroline. Thank you - always good to keep up with the studies isn't it. Lovely to 'see' you.

    Hi Chris, thanks. I feel like I am making baby steps at the moment but enjoying the process.

    :o) Hi Rhonda. It is very textured and glorious to stroke pencil along the textures after the ink has dried. I keep looking at all sorts of bits and pieces at the moment wondering how it might print. More experimenting needed...
