Experimenting with colour

I tend to think in tone rather than colour so while my current collagraph plate is under construction I thought I’d experiment with drypoint and monoprint, trying to get away from ‘realistic’ colour.

Not the most successful prints but I’m hoping what I’ve learned from the process will help me combine monoprint with the collagraph later on

New Year, New Print

I’m working on what I hope will be a new set of prints based on local architecture, starting with a viewing point from the Chinese Gardens at Rivington.
Painting...

Followed by charcoal....

Looking at structure....

Combining digitally to explore possible colour ideas....
