Here are some different colourways of my little Mari Lwyd lino block and Gel Plate monotypes that I was experimenting with during my residency at The Workers Gallery in Ynyshir last week. It’s a lovely place, do try and visit if you can. The Gel prints were made with Cranfield Safe Wash Relief inks in Process Yellow,Continue reading “Pink And Yellow Maris.”

Green And Yellow Mari.
I had fun overprinting my little Mari Lwyd lino block onto some circular Gel Plate monotypes. The monotypes were done using fruit nets and bubble wrap and Cranfield Safe-Wash relief inks mixed heavily with Extender. The three primary Process colours, overlaid, give a lovely range of secondary colours and tertiary tones. I was experimenting duringContinue reading “Green And Yellow Mari.”
Monotype And Mari Lwyd.
I spent a day up The Workers Gallery in Ynyshir yesterday and took a small lino block of a Mari Lwyd I cut a couple of years ago. I thought I’d try doing different things with it. I printed a border on a cheap cotton shirt (here) and then I switched inks and printed Mari’sContinue reading “Monotype And Mari Lwyd.”
Blue And Red Balls.
Still having some fun with my little round gel-plate, onion nets, bubble wrap and Cranfield Safe-Wash Relief inks.
A Blue Cast …
Here’s another little gel-plate experiment using a 10cm diameter round plate, with three primary colours – Process Yellow, Magenta and Cyan – with lots of Extender to make the colours translucent. It’s quite a random process and each one has turned out different. This has an overall Cyan cast but also the Magenta is quiteContinue reading “A Blue Cast …”
Blue Gelli.
I spent a bit more time playing with a gel plate at Swansea Print Workshop this afternoon, using a round gel plate, a few pieces of used bubble wrap, Cranfield Safe-Wash Process Cyan relief ink and Extender onto HoSho paper. I overprinted the pieces I’ve done in the last two weeks, mixing very little of the blueContinue reading “Blue Gelli.”
Hitting A Wall!
I’ve been working on and off with these 5 paintings for a few weeks and I’ve hit a brick wall with them! I deliberately set out to work from my imagination rather than from life, which is what I normally do. But I’m stuck – where to go with them now? Should I go representational?Continue reading “Hitting A Wall!”
Triples: Blocks and Lines.
I added some juicy colours to my 5 paintings of “Triples”, blocking in tangerine and green, and did some more linear work on their facial features, building them up gradually. The idea came originally from the triple goddess of Celtic mythology, The Morrigan is one of her legends, but with a modern twist. I’m using Somerset paper (300 gsm, 56Continue reading “Triples: Blocks and Lines.”
Triples: Orange Snakey Bits.
Carrying on with my “Triples” paintings today, I’m trying to do a bit each day, working on all five. I’m painting onto large sheets of Somerset paper (300 gsm) with lovely deckled edges. I prepared the paper first with acrylic gesso to seal the surface and give it some extra strength. I’m not fussed aboutContinue reading “Triples: Orange Snakey Bits.”
More Triples.
I did a bit more work on my 5 paintings, each of 3 women or girls. The idea came originally from the triple goddess of Celtic mythology, with a modern female gaze from me. I’m enjoying working on 5 paintings at once, I’ve never approached my work in this way before. I’m using Somerset paper (300 gsm, 56 xContinue reading “More Triples.”
