Big Red monotype




I did several bird surveys up at the north end of Jekyll. It is a pocket marsh area. There was dried Marsh Fleabane a native plant. I gather some up along with other grasses. Back in the studio, I began a printing session. When I was finished I had several monotypes. Here is a monotype construction from that session. I call it a construction because I have combined two monotypes to make one image. I am using Daniel Smith water based etching ink. The paper is 100% rag Arches Cover. I call this one Big Red, for the cardinal that posed for me. It measure 10 x 20 matted.
