Monoprint landscapes: 1
01 May 2018
Some simple experiments in monoprinted landscapes, using transfer method. First one is oil pastel on tissue paper, transferred to printing paper. Second one, same media, picks up some detailed texture from the creases in the tissue paper. Third one (most successful) is oil-based printing ink on thin computer paper.
Variable edition
13 August 2016
Linocut: three small (9cm square) blocks, first block (background) monoprinted, then second and third blocks printed on top. Variable inking; variation in print quality semi-intended: caused by hand pressure (instead of using the press).

Linocut, 8 x 8 cm
Printing again. It's been a long time. Three small blocks: key block in black; another for the blue and pink; another with just yellow and red.
New exhibition
31 January 2016
Two of my linocuts have been accepted for the Royal Society of British Artists exhibition at the Mall Galleries, London: 17 March - 2 April (includes Easter weekend).
"Blackfriars" and "Bankside/Southbank", each 30 x 24cm.

Borough Market
Linocut 30 x 24cm.
A new linocut of the flower stand at Borough Market. It's years since I did a print that is only in black-in-white.
Sunflowers: Work in progress
29 July 2015
Sunflowers
Linocut, 18 x 18 cm.
Linocut, 18 x 18 cm.
I use far more white ink that any other colour, so always order two tins at a time, to make sure that I don't run out. But when I opened the white ink tin this morning, it was almost empty. And the back-up tin has disappeared. Or perhaps this is the back-up tin.
So this block is printed just in black relief ink, and then hand-coloured with acrylic ink.
Testing the market
14 July 2015
Linocut, 14 x 14 cm.
Test piece for a larger print of a market scene. It will be either black-and-white, or handcoloured... once I've changed the composition so that the man doesn't have an umbrella growing out of the top of his head.
New linocut: Undershaft
08 May 2015
A new linocut, at last.
Another corner of the city of London. This is the view looking west from the "Gherkin" on St Mary's Axe. In the middle: the church of St Helen's Bishopsgate, dating from the 12th century. In the distance: the "NatWest" tower, now called "Tower 42", built in the 1970s.
This print will be exhibited in the New English Art Club Open exhibition at the Mall Galleries, 18 - 27 June 2015.

Blue-grey at the top, graduating down to brown-grey... Hang on, isn't that just more of what I did on the last layer?

More ink, and now at last it's starting to look like something.

More ink: mainly blue-grey over all the buildings to create the shadows.

Another layer of colour: a darker blue, and a darker brown, and a touch of gold. Already, I think that the subject matter is clear.
