Artwork description:

Collagraph print, printed on 300gsm Fabriano watercolour paper. A Collagraph print is one made from a plate with different textures. My printing plate is made from mounting board. The process is a combination of intaglio and relief. I Collaged my plate with different textures in this instance I used, tile adhesive, wet and dry sand paper, masking tape, aluminium insulation tape and wallpaper segments. I also cut into the plate with a scalpel. I used PVA glue to stick on my textures. Any PVA is then sealed with shellac. The plate is then coloured with stay open inks (intaglio) and each print is never the same. I rolled yellow on top with a roller (relief) I will pack this print flat between layers of cardboard (see me at work pic) These prints are sold unframed.

Materials used:

stay open oil based inks on cartridge paper
