"Colette III"

Monoprint Plate

5" x 10"

This is the plate used to create "Colette I and II"

Alas, it does not exist anymore as I needed to clean the plate! But there is more where that came from.

"Colette II and I"

Monoprints

5"x 9"

Colette II is the print made after spritzing the plate with water after pulling ColetteI. Monoprinting is a lot of fun, but it takes a lot of prints to make one good one. I didn't have much time to experiment as I was running late, but I like the soft quality of the skin and nose created by the water on ColetteII. The blog doesn't show it off well. I suggest monoprinting for anyone who is interested in learning about the subtleties of brush and color . These were done with water soluable printing inks on a acrylic plate.The paper I like the best is Japanese calligraphy paper. Low cost experimentation.

This has been an incredably busy week. I've not had time to sit down and scan the images I have made. Now that I have done so, I see things I need to do to the images. Here is one I like though. She has a life to her, quiet and penetrating.
