Toadstools Original monotype

Description

Image size: 14"x 73/4"
Edition #: 1/1
Medium: monotype

This is the first of my mushroom series that is stil in progress. Keep checking back for more.

This image is a one-of-a-kind hand pulled print onto archival Rives BFK paper. This is not a reproduction. This is considered a reductive monotype in that I roll the whole plate with black ink and then “draw” into it with rags, cards, fingers, etc. to achieve the whites and grey tones. Once I feel the image is complete I lay a piece of dampened paper onto the plate and roll it through the press I keep at home. Now all the ink has transfered onto the paper and the image is in reverse. This will be the only print I can pull. Once dry I may go into the print and hand colour it with chalk pastels.

The print will be shipped flat and in a protective mailer with a sturdy backing board.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
