Recently exhibited

Shall we stay on the monoprint theme? Well sure, here are some more! My screens from last week are not quite ready yet, so here are some works exhibited earlier this year.


I find there is no greater drawing challenge than trying to capture the human form. These works are based on life drawings created in my evening class.

Exhibited in Life Drawing 2011 at Gravelly Barn, Herts.
Using a pencil, I trace my original drawing onto a fresh sheet.
Inking up my plate, retrace the pencil lines to pick up an inky figure.


These prints were made using a printing press, creating several layers of colour by blocking out areas with stencils.
This is a monochromatic monoprint. Mono!


Created simply, by drawing directly onto an inked up plate with my fingers. Pressing a fresh sheet onto the plate, I rolled a clean roller over top (Look closely and you can see the roller marks in the ink).

It's always exciting to see what comes out when you pull back the paper to expose the print. Different every time.










Using the same original life drawing as the one above but with warm Autumn colours this time. It's similar to the other image, but with it's own characteristics and individual marks.

Exhibited in 'Life Drawing 2011' at Gravelly Barn, Herts.

  1. Fascinating to observe the works produced by these techniques - just the life drawings alone would be challenge enough!
