Artwork description:

Collagraph print of a pirate, printed on 370 gsm watercolour paper. A Collagraph print is one made from a plate with different textures. It can be printed in intaglio or relief. My printing plate is made from mounting board. I Collaged my plate with different textures in this instance I cut my figure out of the plate and added tile adhesive and PVA glue plus metal abrasive rollers, then it was left to harden before making my print. The plate is then coloured with stay open inks and then put through the press. This print is sold framed. The frame is a light beech effect box frame with plexi glass.
