Two collagraphs

The piece on the left is burned in the acrylic layer on top of the lino.
the piece on the right has a small collagraph on top ,a paper stencil with some acrylic on.

In stead of making aquatint etching,which I never get the hang of, i use monotyped plates to get the smoothness I am after as a contrast to the line work.

Left:"Growing from innocence"
Right:"Monkeysun3"

To sleep--perhaps to dream.

I am trying out different ways of making collagraphy.This one is acrylic paint on plywood.
The rabbit is in plastic,with some acrylic on top.
The colors put on by hand,and wiped off intaglio-style.

I also have tried sand, and other stuff.Most of them too coarse.

I found that I like a more subtle effect,so I ceep looking for the best material.
