Original Monotype First Day of Spring Couple Framed Fine Art Printmaking

Description

Title: First Day of Spring

Medium: Hand pulled 8.3 x 7 inch Dark Field Monotype with Watercolor & Colored Pencil

Support: Rived BFK Printmaking paper

Process: Monotypes are made by painting on a smooth (not etched) plate, and pressing the still-wet pigments against paper. For this piece, I used Black oil based etching ink on a plexiglass plate. The ink was rolled onto the plate with a brayer, and the figures were lifted out of the wet ink in a subtractive process with my finger tips, points and rags, etc.

Edition: This is an edition of 1 (one).

Frame: The art is double matted in museum quality pearl gray top mat and black under-mat. The frame is contemporary black painted wood with no relief or embossed decor (see pics). The outside measurements are 15.5 x 15.5, and it's 1 inch deep. The frame is sealed on the back, with hanging hardware installed; it's ready for a wall.

Story: The image was based on a photo of my grandparents in the late 1920's while they were dating.
