Oil monoprint with ink

These two oil mono prints were taken from the mono print published in a recent post. When the paint was still wet on the original mono print...two light impressions were taken. These impressions were treated with ink and brush to define the composition. The designs were too subtle for me without the ink.

These images measure approx 14" x 18" and are priced at $75 each unframed.

Oil monoprints with ink

I worked on Sunday with a technique I had never used before...oil monoprint from a glass plate. I started with a black marker drawing on the glass...and proceeded to colorize it with oil paint. I took the first impressions and they were very light. Adding more paint, I made several successive prints on the same paper, deepening the colors and adding definition. Finally, I used turpentine and the prints smeared and ran. I left everything to dry overnight.

Today I went in and added ink with a fine brush. The final paintings are about 12" x 14" and priced at $175 each unframed with a 1/2" border.
