S.Brookes Printmaker

S.Brookes Printmaker I design and create artistic prints, etchings and lino cuts. Sometimes I make other arty things
I sell cards and prints that I have produced Hi.

I use my kitchen table to design and create my own prints. I then use my table top printing press to produce these unique works of art. My ideas come from the world around me; boats on the coast, field edge trees and plants on my allotment. I love printing as you can use different methods for different images. I like to use lino to design simple cards. I use dry point for more detailed prints. I m

ostly print my images on top quality paper, such as Fabrino Rospina paper, using water based inks (Caligo). Each print is part of an open print run. Each print is initialled and dated by me. By the nature of hand printing, each print will be slightly different. Monoprints are unique one off prints. I use a gelli plate and Golden Open acrylic paint. Sometimes, I do other creative things. I paint pen and ink watercolour pictures. Off now, to clear the table for the next family meal.

I am trying a new printing method for me... mezzotint. It has been around for hundreds of years

I have some very small pre rocked copper plates and you have to rub the plate with a steel burnisher to produce the lighter areas

Enjoy

I have been rather quiet recently

This afternoon, I printed this collagraph. It took ages to get back into the swing of things; not wiping off too much ink, getting the pressure right on the press.

So successfully printed it but now I am not sure about the composition. Any thoughts, ideas and advice.

Two more prints from Sunday's printing session. They are also collagraphs, which are like collages, built up with many layers of card, tapes and glues, which is then printed.

These two prints were inspired by a trip to Overstrand beach on the Norfolk coast. I wanted to get a sense of movement, jeopardy and collapse.

Mindful Sunday Afternoon, printing a collagraph or two inspired by the Dorset Countryside. I was lucky to spend New Year there with some friends. I loved the gently rolling chalk downs.

I also went to Tout Quarry Sculpture Park and used that as inspiration as well.
