Silk Road Horse 2: Mono prints

Using the sketches of the stucco horse from the Museum I made some simple monoprints.
Each of the prints below are a result of slightly different inking, slightly different drawing pressure and single or double printing.

smallhorse-monoc-bg

mono3-bng

mono4-bg

It’s the first time I have tried this technique and I am delighted by the sensitivity of the mark. There is a lithographic feeling about them, which to me is very beautiful.

I have become really interested in the implied connection between the horse and the figure, so I’ll be working on that some more this week.
