Down Your Street
Ive recently been working on a sketchbook project (see tab at the top of the blog) 'Down your street' and these are Christmas-a-fied sketches from that in Drypoint using Chine Colle.
They came out pretty well, I'm pleased with how the Christmas trees look.
Lithography
This is a great idea - Lithograph Printing PAPER! No stone needed! You just draw onto special paper using a permanent black pen. Use a solution (its slipped my mind what its called) mixed with water and spread it liberally over the paper. Roll the ink on - it will only stick to the areas where you've put the black pen. And then it goes through the press, or likewise you can use a roller and do it by hand.
A process I am going to need to experiment more with.
Thai Cookery Ingredients
As you can see a couple of posts ago I recently put together a Thai Cookery Book. These prints are linked to that, they are of the illustrations I did for the 'Herbs and Spices' section in the book. They are all drypoint prints, however, the first 3 are done using a plastic drypoint plate and the last 3 are done using a metal drypoint plate.
You can see the different quite visibly, how the plastic prints are quite a bit sharper than the metal. The metal prints have a more grainy feeling to them i think.
The colour is added through the process of 'Chine Colle' where I stick tissue paper to the print in the press.
