New etchings

malachywolohan — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 19:10:16 +0000

New etching produced over the past month. I started with the aquatint first, using crayons as the acid resist, then used a sugar lift technique with water based pencils to put the line work down. I’m hoping to produce some more prints in the way in the future.

Back in the Studio

After a winter break learning German in Dusseldorf I’m back in the studio.

I’m not planning much consistency within my themes this year, so expect to see various printmaking methods.

First off are some prints from some wood that was in the scrap wood section in the studio. My relief prints have always been with linoleum or mdf, so it’s been interesting to use a block that has a grain.

Last prints of 2010

New print in progress following on from the recent Lino cuts I have been working on. An edition isn’t likely to be finished before the end of the year but I’m hoping to have colours finalised for two or three variations.

20:20 Print exchange

I recently participated in the 20:20 print exchange run by Hot Bed Press. Artists were asked to create a print edition 20x20cm. In return you received a random portfolio of 20 prints from all the submissions.

All the prints are available to see here.

New additions to 2009 portfolio

With the use of a good scanner I’ve added some of the test prints for the current set I’ve been working on the past year. You can see where the colours came from and ideas for building up colours from transparencies came from.

Finished the newest edition of prints yesterday, but they’re still drying on the racks so pictures won’t be up for another week! But here’s a nice picture of the final colours going on.
