Testing my new prints....wind drawings on top of monoprints, not quite sure this is working visually yet but cracking on


The set up!  This seaweed that I like using (think it's kelp) is sometimes illusive.  I was on the beach last week and there was loads of it.  Today hardly any.  Anyway...so set up my first beach drawing machine, tide just turned, unfortunately no idea of wind speed but it was very calm, which is what I want.  I don't want a wild drawing on these particular images as the prints will be quite small.


So I am  testing pens and marks.  I decided I wanted grey instead of black pen but not sure this is working our so need to do a couple more tests.
