Panoramic monoprint with oil paint.

I've returned to the format of my Moon landing monoprint from a few weeks ago. This one is slightly shorter as I've created it for a frame I have and it will be hanging on my wall soon (once dry) 28" × 8.5" oil on 200gsm paper. Working with recycled materials (plastic bag and cardboard) I have used oil paint (Prussian Blue, Vandyke Brown) spread thinly onto a transfer sheet made from an old plastic bag and a variety of mark making implements, blunt pencil, biro, etc to transfer the oil paint onto the work surface (200gsm paper) Torn paper (newspaper is OK) is then used to mask areas of the composition and create shapes that form the light areas of the artwork, it is advisable not to apply too much paint and keep these interesting forms that draw the eye into the composition. It is important to begin this process with a very thin first layer of paint and work towards adding darker tones, remember not to overwork the composition as it is very easy to destroy the quality of the marks. Don't worry to much about the final composition, enjoy making a few interesting marks and texture, practice the technique and good results will follow. Hope you found this demo helpful. List of materials : Oil paint (Winsor & Newton) Prussian Blue, Vandyke Brown Recycled cardboard, plastic bag, parcel tape. Pallet knife, blunt pencil, Q tips, rag or sponge for mark making. Pallet knife (plastic) to transfer the oil paint onto the plastic sheet. Paper (at least 200gsm) masking tape, torn scap paper (newspaper) gloves recommended and turpentine for cleaning.
