Artist's Comments

When I used to do traditional etching I really enjoyed
the idea of "abusing" the plate -scraping and burnishing-
liked the notion that the more one messed about with
the surface the lovelier the result became....
I have missed this element of printmaking since
using solar plates etc....
so I am looking to try some collographs- not
sticking shapes on the plate as much as painting and
scraping the design on with carborundum and various
pastel grounds... this is the first proof and I have done
a bit more work and hope to get this next stage
printed tomorrow.....
I think it will be a good way of doing moody nudes
(which would be a good name for a 60's rock band)

it has a nice mood to it :)

Lovely. I agree - the more rough and scratchy, the more beautiful. :)

Great feeling to this one :) When I played with carborundum I also built it up with lacquer, which creats more of a contrast with the marble grit. Fantastic piece ! Looking forward to more, it would be great to have a fellow collagraph artist on deviantart.

thanks for comment and email - I use gloss medium to get areas of easier wiping - but lots of ideas to work through...
:iconderekjones:
yes I agree - rough and scratchy is dreamy
:iconjetjames:
the collagraph technique does makes you think, Good luck with your next piece :)

That's a hell of a collagraph! I'm going to have to try this technique. It looks great!
