It's very hot in France. So A good time to think about new work.

Hi John is there a #printpromptmonday that I've missed. We're in France 🙏

Belated post for #printpromptmonday #text

I have only once incorporated text into a print. This is a test print that I need to revisit to improve the contrasts.

A celebration of Bonsall, Derbyshire. It needs more work.

Growing and developing my skills as a printmaker. Starting out with single colours and learning how to use multi colours for varied editions.

There's more to banner hanging than you think! My partner Nic is great with knots.

Block printing on sketchbooks today. I love the way the lino blocks take the rolled colour. The blocks last well if carefully wrapped and stored.

The varied edition is now finished. I can't print any more as I used the reduction process. (suicide method)

Happy Saturday, now for some gardening.
#linoprinting #printsky #variededition #print #stilllife #tulips #vase #spring

Some of a new still life varied edition linoprint.

Reductive printing, I can't print from this block now.

Using a "handbag press" for smaller prints.

Mariekeaneart @mariekeaneart.bsky.social · Apr 25

One more layer to go on this varied edition. What colour to have for the vase, tea pot and cup? Any ideas?

#variededition #reliefprinting #stilllife #linoprinting #printsky #print #tulips #vase #spring #springcolours

Varied edition still life, linoprinting.

Need to think about the vase, teapot and cup colour to contrast with the blue background.

Working on a new varied reduction lino print. Inspired by Van Gogh still life and Susie Cooper ceramics.

#Susiecooper #VanGogh #stilllife #printsky #print #printmaking #Spring #tulips #handprinting #blockprinting #reliefprints #variededition

Handprinted still life, first two colour layers.

Still life varied edition linoprint blue background

Varied edition still life. Each print is different.

With handprinting there will always be differences, inconsistencies are ok.

#earth Failed prints are used as shopping lists or to proof new work, packaging is recycled, I use hessian backed lino for carving and work towards incorporating more sustainable methods. Flora and fauna inspire my creativity.
