Lovely and atmospheric, not looked at it on laptop yet, I bet it looks even better with all the white lines.

Sounds an interesting process. High drama in this one, Alan. Excellent.

This has come out really well Alan, I like the colours you have chosen.

Love monoprints and I like the blues in this Alan. (I did do a few monotypes following a forum article of yours some while ago, and it's on my list to do some more!)

Love this, Alan. It’s very atmospheric and I love the colours.

Well, thank you all so much. Printing never seems to get the credit it deserves so I welcome your comments. Some drypoint etching will follow after a few more monotypes.

I love the way you've used the mono-printing technique. The colours and marks give the image a very dramatic feel.

Nice one Alan! Yes I remember your piece on the subject, it inspired me to have a go.

Wow - very dramatic and atmospheric. Looking forward to your drypoint etching.

Simple and effective, and the best way at times Alan. But the more you look the more you see.

8.25 x 12in printed on Fabriano Rosaspina, image size 5 x 9.25in. A simple one-off monoprint, pulled on my own press using Akua Intaglio printing inks. I wrote a feature on monotype printing for the e-newsletter, some time ago now, and was delighted to see that at least a couple of the readers' gave it a shot, and very successfully too.
