This one was done by creating a simple painting on a sheet of plexiglass with printmaking ink. Working quickly, I then placed a slightly damp sheet of paper on top of the "plate." With pressure applied with a burnishing tool, (in this case I used a rice paddle), the design eventually transferred to the paper, which was then lifted off the plexiglass, yielding a "one of a kind" print.
It's still a little but cool to go for a dip in the ocean early in this spring, so for today, these little fish will have to do the swimming!
Wow Michele, this is such a work of art. Those fish really are swimming around on my screen. Have a peaceful Easter holiday,, Janex
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. I wouldn't have guessed how you did it. The process sounds like it would be hard to work so fast.
ReplyDeleteLovely, Michele. I'm with Linda, I never would have pegged the art as a monoprint. Really feels like water.
