Having moved on to Project 2 of Part 1, I thought I’d have a second stab at getting some decent basic Monoprints. Although the placement on the page has improved from my initial attempts, I still keep getting spots on my prints. I also have yet to produce one that I am completely happy with as far as composition is concerned…
…sadly, after today’s efforts in my studio, this dissatisfaction remains.
I’ve decided to accept what I have achieved, though this may be unsatisfactory, and move on to more complex positive and negative prints using masks, as I was having slightly better results from these. I shall attempt to improve my outcomes as I go, rather than doggedly pursuing perfection without moving forward. I need to review my process carefully to avoid spots etc.
