Morning Light, Bamburgh Castle (2025) Monoprint by Rebecca Vincent

This monotype was inspired by the soft, changing light of an early morning at Bamburgh Castle. I used layers of translucent ink to build up the subtle colours and reflections, allowing the atmosphere to develop gradually. I wanted to capture that peaceful moment when the landscape is beginning to brighten and the castle stands quietly against the sky.

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.

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 unmounted/unframed, rolled in a wide, strong tube. (Framed images are shown for scale and context only - frame not included.)
