Print Development


These photos practically speak for themselves. They basically demonstrate and record the devolopement of my final prints. The origin of the print was based on one of my photographs. The design was then etched into a perspex plate and once applied with a thin layer of ink, the plate passed through the press to create the final result.



As stated in earlier posts, this 'garage' plate was my favourite and most successful of the three, so It was common sence to develop this further. Previous watercolour and print combinations haven't turned out great but I think the one above is exactly what I hoped to achieve: a clear, clean, soft watercolour wash on a detailed, hard-edged print. Unlike earlier attempts, I believe the even balance of watercolour and print in this design has been achieved well.
