Description

This is my third monotype made on my die-cut machine which I bought as a small etching press. It is printed on A4 size Kent printmaking paper, and I used my own handmade stencils to make a layered image. Printed using archival printing inks by Akua and Lawrence Art Supplies.

This listing is for the framed artwork which measures 40 x 31 cms.

This is the second “ghost print” of the first print “Luna 1” available in a separate listing. Ghost prints are so-called because they are prints of the residual ink on the printing plate after pulling the first print. I had already pulled a ghost print of Luna 1, so this image is even fainter but has an almost unfinished quality about it which I often like, sometimes even more than the original print. I darkened the middle ground a little bit with a dark grey Faber Castell archival Indian ink marker, a little pink coloured pencil for the cheek and some real gold leaf to the moon, to give the finished image a bit of shimmer and a focal point. The moons in the two ghost prints actually look more like holes in the sky, since they are in front of the tree, but I like the idea behind that also.

A monotype print is a one-off print that results in a unique image and cannot be made in an edition.

It will be well packaged for transit, and sent insured and signed for delivery.

Thanks for looking and please get in touch if you have any questions.
