As I like the sea and use it and swimming in several pieces I've made, I decided to try another zinc plate once more with the idea of using large areas of resist. This time I did not use aquatint, but simply rubbed hard ground on like a crayon. I was pleased with the result, which I'm going on to use in multiples on another print with drypoint this week.
Those multiples involve some use of the fade which I liked when I tried it with the collagraph, and here is a piece on black khadi paper with one inked plate at the top, and the two subsequent printings with no re-inking below:
Today I picked up the pieces I'd been working on last Tuesday. They are monoprints which are bits of fun really, designed to use up six slivers of left over paper:
Just right for bookmarks!
