Playing with the painted Mark on the glycerin plate

Today I used the createx monotype inks on the glycerin plate and just experimented with brushes and brush marks.  I like to approach learning with a sense of exploration.  I like to

  • see what happens,
  • see what is possible,
  • see what I like,
  • see what the tools do.

This way I can learn to use the right brush for the intended mark. I tried wide brushes, narrow brushes, soft brushes and bristle brushes. I added the strong black line after the print was pulled.
