Woodcut and Monoprint (30 January 2014)

There is so much I want to learn so I know better what I am doing when I decide to try a piece. Part of this experimenting is combining printmaking techniques. Colour doesn’t come to me naturally, I think, but I am finding that I do want to add some. So I tried using monoprint, stencil and woodcut and was pleasantly surprised! I did two, below is the other one. There are bits I like from each, but I think overall this first one is probably the better one. The thing is that it is all such an experiment that I am sure if I try tomorrow again it will not come easily!!! but that surprise is part of the attraction! Anyway, for the time being is a great feeling!
