I spent a happy afternoon at Swansea Print Workshop today, doing some direct line monotypes (aka linear, trace). It’s a technique I used to do lots, but haven’t for ages, I don’t know why. I’m developing a composition for a linocut inspired by the Miners Wives from the Welsh strikes from the 1980s and these little ones are helping me get used to the drawings and mark-making.
