15" x 13" Monotype Print
Sometimes I like to let go and just paint quickly on the printing plate. I use a variety of materials for my plates - usually acrylic or copper - with Akua brand water based intaglio inks. Akua's intaglio inks are nontoxic and thicker than regular inks; I enjoy using them to create monotype prints. On the other hand, the material I use for the plate usually doesn't matter to the process for me.
This Great Dane symbolizes spring energy to me on two levels. There is the obvious visual energy of the dog's pose and movement; but also the speed at which I created the print.
