I’ve spent quite a few weeks now working on monotypes of pebbles. I started with a charcoal rubbing that I made of a group of pebbles, trying to keep the separate characters of each but also the ways in which they related to each other.
I used this as a starting point for drawings that guided making monotypes. I’ve been trying out a new medium – Akua Kolor – which is an ink made for monotype that has rich pigment and is mixed partly with honey. It’s very different to handle from any other inks I use for printmaking. Very small amounts allow you to roll transparent layers to work into, so for the reduction approach to monotype they work well, as long as you are prepared to make a lot of layers. I made five or six layers for each print, using an etching press. So these are examples of the printed monotypes.
