First Light on the Mountain (Monotype)

First Light on the Mountain (Monotype) Originally uploaded by randubnick

This is the last print of four from printmaking class last Tuesday night. For this one, I re-used a plate in order to keep the same composition, but I added more ink in green and a teal blue. I also ran the brayer over some netting to add texture. Although it was late and I was really tired when I finally finished this print, I was glad I kept going because I thought it was the best of the four prints I made that night. The combination of dark blue sky and pink mountains reminds me of looking toward the mountains west of Boulder as they reflect the rays of the eastern sunrise.
