Mono Prints





Mono Prints.
13/002/2020.
& how I did these Alan.
From a black, sticky printing ink tin, with large spatula, slap a splodge onto a special flat stone surface or if not a sheet of glass.
Take a rubber Roller in your right hand and roll it about till you’ve covered it in a thin, but constant layer of ink.
Then spread a thin even layer onto a thin sheet of some metal or other. It has to be consistent and not too thick.
Next carefully lay a sheet of reasonably heavy paper on top, being very careful not to get any on your hands, as it can make an awful mess on your art-work. You now have not very long at all to take all the paint off it that you want to turn white or grey. You can use all types of things, like baby buds, sponge, cloth with a bit of white spirit etc. These were on a big sheet & as such had to move along at quite a rate of knots.

Lightly cover it top & bottom with throwaway paper and place it under a roller. Proceed to roll. { If you don’t have a roller, gently smooth it over with the flat of your hand }
The result is quite exciting, rather like taking a pot out of a kiln, in that you don’t really know how it’s going to turn out.
