Original Monotype 1950 Santa Monica California House Mixed Media

Santa Monica House
Original 4.75 x 4.5 inch Monotype, Watercolor & Colored Pencil by Belinda Del Pesco

Santa Monica House was printed on White Arches printmaking paper, with Black Daniel Smith Etching ink, and painted with Winsor Newton Watercolors & Archival Colored Pencils.

The image was inspired by a 1952 photo my Great Uncle took of a friend's house in Santa Monica, California.

Monotypes are made by painting on a smooth (not etched) plate, and pressing the still-wet pigments against paper to create a print of the image. For this piece, I used black, oil based etching ink on a 4.75 x 4.5 inch zinc plate. The ink was rolled onto the plate with a brayer, and the hedges & windows & sky were lifted out of the wet ink in a subtractive process with my finger tips, points and rags, etc.

This is an original, one of a kind, hand pulled, hand painted artwork.

It's offered here *unframed*. If you'd like an estimate to have it matted and framed, please contact me.
