50 quick monotype landscapes

abstract monotype landscape by linda germain

I am playing with a few tools:

  • gelatin and glycerin plate
  • speedball ink
  • brayers
  • bristle brushes
  • palette knife
  • old credit card
  • sponge mop head
  • index cards

Very quickly I printed about 50 monotype landscapes.

It was a great exercise in composition and design.

This one is brayer mark mountains and the sky was created with a wide bristle brush.

This one has some light underlying mountain marks. I used an old credit card to create the horizon lines and foreground marks.
