A few simple, bold, bird, sun, moon and star prints made using my Fome 3621 table top press. Inspired by Matisse’s cut out birds. I’ve been researching which paper to use for these monoprints and the Fabriano Rosaspina is proving to be ideal. It has a good weight, smooth texture and dries flat. When I was on my printmaking course I used bread and butter paper which was okay but I think it’s a fairly basic sort of paper, hence the name.
I’ve painted in some areas to enhance the density of colour that I was aiming for.
These are all available from my online shop so take a look…
