Colored Pencil on a Polylitho Print
I have not been near a printing press for several years now, having sold my small home press and dropped my membership in the local printmakers’ guild, Corvidae Press. But I have a few incomplete prints I have saved to work on, including this edition of a polylitho “drawing”. These are single pass, single ink images that I hand color in various different ways. The result being several unique artworks based on one print edition, most being colored pencil on a polylitho print. I did use some watercolor and pen on a few prints.
The top row is the very latest one, with soft pastel coloring completed today, followed by two foiled versions of the same colored print.
The lower row shows the same print before much of the color was added, followed by a digitally foiled version. The last image is a digital foil of another variant, also colored, but not shown here in the “flesh” original.
