Marilyn Bishop’s Art Blog features watercolor on paper, using monotype, rice paper plus collage and experimental techniques for social commentary, spiritual themes, typical images and more.
This painting came from a trip to a plantation near Charleston, SC. The intention was to capture the softness and ethereal atmosphere of the swamp and trees. I think this method of painting, using lots of water on both sides of the paper, accomplished my goal. It was very tricky--leaving white yet adding dark with lots of green!
This monoprint is actually the second one using only green ink to make an image. It's my intention to make a series of prints using only one color. This one is titled "Pickle" because it goes with "Cucumber." Both are about 9" x 12" on printmaking paper.
This monoprint began with the roller but then I added ink to the plate and moved it around. The original title "Green Roller Print" didn't really say much but I think "Cucumber" gives a little smile!
Here is another non-objective print made with a roller and some net and a piece of card stock and IMAGINATION! I titled it after I made it. It is ink on printmaking paper about 9" x 12."
