WATERY WEDNESDAY - CASEIN COLLAGE: POLAR BEAR PERIL - ON THIN ICE...

This is a 'Casein' collage - a milk-based paint, mixed with water - printed from a glass table top.





This is a unique 'monotype' (no fixed matrix involved).   I tend to experiment with the very fluid nature of mixing water and paint in varying thick-and-thin consistencies -  over printing when the first colour applied has dried from the first print run.   For this kind of printing, with no fixed image in mind, any surface can be tried.  I just enjoyed using the large piece of plate glass that I had!  The collage emerged later when an image idea presented itself!

  1. Experimentation! Lovely! I can see rock pools and sea creatures. You probably intended something quite different. By the way, the flowers in your header are magbificent.

  2. I love your bright header!
    What fun to experiment as you have. It reminds me of similar, though far less considered, painting I've had children do at school.

  3. What an interesting idea for printmaking. Loved the Polar Bear. What sort of paper did you use?

  4. That is really nice. I definitely have the feel of water, ocean and/or beach.
