Monoprint: Shirley portrait by Peter Gander
A two-colour monoprint of a fellow printmaking student at London’s Mary Ward Centre where I've been studying printmaking. See petergander.blogspot.com for monoprint technique, but basically, a piece of cartridge is laid face-down onto an inked printing plate (zinc/metal) and drawn on 'the reverse'. The result is linework with a beautiful texture. Any implement, mark-making or not, can be used, such as a piece of card or 'wrong end' of a brush. More monoprints to follow.
