Snap Apple, 3 x 6 Monotype
Sold
After coating my zinc plate with black ink, I lifted the image of a girl playing a game of Snap Apple out of the pigment, by wiping the ink away with rolled paper towels and blending sticks.
Using fingertips to tap colored pigment into the areas I cleared of black ink.
Pulling the print, after a trip through the press.

Hi Belinda
I appreciate you posted this image and commentary on your process at the end of March 2007 BUT I am researching how other artist/printmakers have used loose pigment in their works.
Was it powder loose pigment that you are referring to here?
You mentioned using blending sticks (are you referring to cotton buds or to blending sticks as in markal or RDF paintsticks translucent?)
I may be interpreting your process incorrectly.
I am experimenting with using loose pigment within a printmaking context and thus far have been "sprinkling"it ( it's difficult to maintain 'relative control'),
onto a layer of transparent base on a plexiglass plate.
Would really appreciate hearing your thoughts on this as you are such an accomplished printmaker.
best wishes
