Artwork description:

This is a limited variable edition lithograph with a monotype background.

It is the evening light at the pier in Aberystwyth. I took a very intuitive approach to inking up the plates with this print, and the result is a very dark, almost abstract version of this image. You can see where the ink has spread as the plate went under the press; it is an effect which I like as it adds to the painterliness but it could be masked with the use of a smaller window mount if wanted.

All my prints are Variable Editions so I can play with colour & markmaking which also means each print is distinctive and original. There may be printmaking marks on the paper outside the image which is due to the enthusiastic nature of my printmaking. These can be hidden by use of a smaller window mount if so desired.

The print shown is number 1 out of an edition of 6. There are 5 more available, and they are all slightly different.

Please note that the image itself is 20x20cm.

Materials used:

Oil based relief ink & paper
