Collagraph w.i.p.

  • Unmounted

    Card stock glued individually, but not attached to the plate.

  • Mounted

    Everything glued to the plate.

  • Inked

    Paint applied to gel plate and collagraph plate pressed on plate to leave “impression.”

  • Back painting

    Paint applied to the gel plate to add color to the image.

  • Pull layer

    A layer of paint applied to “pull” the final print. This is from another collagraph. I forgot to take a photo of the one above.

  • Pressing

    Applying weight to secure the paper to the plate.

  • After 12 hours

    Paper still attached to the gel plate

  • Collagraph plate and finished piece

    The green foreground is a little dark for me, but this was a fun one to do.

  • Finished piece
