Mono Printing with Lynn Kirkley

1/8/2019

4 Comments

 
Attending Salford Art club gives me a chance to meet other artists and once a month we have a demonstration or workshop.  This year, members have volunteered to do these on occasions to reduce running costs. I myself did a demonstration of palette knife painting and this time another member Lynn ran a workshop on mono printing. 

Wearing my newly acquired black and white checked apron, I looked more like a competitor for MasterChef, but it did keep my clothes clean. After a short talk, I soon inked up my plastic sheet and after placing a piece of paper on it had my first attempt. Not knowing what to pick I decided to have a go at a portrait. I was quite pleased with the end result and thought this was going to be easy.

I soon realised that many things influenced the end result, such as, putting the right amount of ink on the sheet. Sometimes, they were too dark; on other occasions not light enough. Fortunately, the technique was fairly quick so I could produce a variety of prints. I was able to experiment with adding offcuts of cloth, wallpaper or other materials to the sheet, and after inking them up some interesting abstract results were accomplished.  To take this further, pastels or paints could be added at a later date. Different effects could be achieved and I could also print on coloured paper.
Before the break I prepared some sheets by painting a watercolour wash on them. When dry, I was able to use the techniques, I had practiced, to then print on top of these and try out more ideas. Again, some of these were more successful than others. I tried redrawing the portrait and this was pleasing although you have to look hard to see the image.

A really enjoyable couple of hours and a fascinating insight into one aspect of printing by a very knowledgeable member.

Mono printing with Lynn Kirkley is an exciting art experience that combines traditional techniques with modern technology. Known for her innovative approach, Lynn often incorporates elements like laser cutting and engraving into her work, creating dynamic prints with unique textures. The mono printing process involves creating a one-of-a-kind print by applying ink to a surface and transferring it onto paper. Each piece is distinctive, reflecting the artist’s creativity and skill. By integrating laser cutting and engraving, Lynn adds precision and depth, making her prints stand out as both contemporary and artistic masterpieces.
