Ink Manipulation
Recent
experimentations in the use of inks mixed with various viscosities
of oil,
applied in multiple layers on the same plate prior to printing have
produced complex
and exciting impressions. When technically well-executed, monotypes
created in this
manner are distinctly monotypes in their incredible fidelity to the
artist's manipulations
of ink, but have a remarkable transparent and "layered" quality that
is not otherwise achievable.
The color achieved
here is through a technique called "mixing down", using only the
primary
colors of, Process Yellow, Process Blue and Magenta, the secondary
colors of Orange, Purple
and Green are created with further mixing and blending the color
development is endless.
With the addition of White to the "mixed down" palette of color one
can achieve what is called
"Color Grays" I prefer this technique of mixing my own colors to the
"out of the tube" color.
