Collagraph printing

Following on from a previous experiment with coating a collagraph plate with a thin layer of aluminium foil,  I can now concentrate on the quality of the plate ...and getting the image the correct way round! I was pleased with this first attempt - Ardnave point on Islay - I will hand colour one of them as the pools and runnels have a lovely bright green weed growing round their edge which should really lift the piece.

The plate which was then covered with aluminium foil before inking up.

Wiping off excess ink before printing onto damp paper.

The final print...
