print and processes

My Dry Point

I love the smudged effect of this Dry Point print, like lino I have created a range of dry points experimenting with ink and a range of materials - here i left quite a lot of ink on the image and used very wet paper.

My Lino Print

Here is one of my lino prints, I personally feel this process gives a great effect and frame around the image, to expand my practice, I printed on a range of materials and experimented with ink and soaking the medium in water. I am pleased with the overall outcomes.

Development

After doing my screen print on paper I developed further to print on calico and then to use flock and foil. I really enjoyed these processes and continued a similar use of colour.

My screen print

Here is my screen print - the image was created on the screen through exposure photomechanically. I have used a light blue to keep the link between the identification of weather and colour.

mind map

Here is a mindmap of possible ideas I could use for my printing processes.

Dry Point

Dry point is an engraving method in which the design is scratched directly onto a plastic surface. Dry point highlights a scratchy characteristic and is achieved by rubbing ink into the scratched lines and rubbing away the excess.
