Artwork description:

Early One September Morning is a variable edition lithograph and image transfer print. The view is of Penarth Pier. It was commissioned as a limited edition of only 4 prints for a young couple with close ties to Penarth. The original photograph on which the print is based was taken by a friend who walks her dog along the beach in Penarth.

These layered prints are made by creating a mono print background with relief ink and rollers on Somerset paper, followed by a lithographic layer for the structure of the pier. A photocopy image of the original view is then transferred on top, and the unwanted parts of it rubbed away to reveal certain details. This creates variations in the image, and some parts of the top image may be torn or removed to create a textured top layer. I then sometimes add watercolour to add to the paint effect.

This print comes presented in a close-fitting neutral colour window mount which has been signed and numbered, and the print is also signed and numbered underneath.

As this print contains watercolour it is not recommended to display in direct sunlight.

Image size: 26.5 x 17cm Paper size: 36.5 x 27

There may be printmaking marks or creases on the paper outside the image, which is due to the handmade nature of the printmaking, and also the texture of the paper used.
