Looking Through (2024)Monoprint by Rebecca Vincent

A serene rural vista, looking through grasses and seedheads towards fields and rolling hills. I used more natural, subtle colours with a strong tonal contrast between the pale stubble fields and dark umbellifers, to give a sense of depth and atmosphere. Agriculture and nature exist together harmoniously.

A monotype is a one-off hand-made print, just as unique as a painting. I used rollers and dabbers to spread out ink on a smooth plastic board then made marks with a cloth and other tools. The ink was transferred to the paper using a hand-operated printing press. I built up layers of over-lapping colous by printing several times. I incorporated textures by impressing inked up textured paper and fabric. I also used paper stencils to make the crisp edges.

The paper is 75 x 37cm with a working margin to be covered with a window mount. The viewable image will then be 74 x 34cm

Supplied unframed, rolled in a wide, strong tube.
