This Spring I travelled to Newlyn School of Art to take part in Anita Reynolds’ new Landscape to Print course. Although we were out and about in West Penwith the North West Highands were not far from my mind.

We worked on trace monotypes and layered gelli prints, and collagraph plates for printing with a press.

It was an intensive refresh of the potential of each process; from translating sketches and planning plates, experimenting with textures and composition, values, and approaches to mixing colour combinations.

Now back to the north of Scotland and the contrasting horizon lines of Sutherland and Orkney; pink rock and black cracked cliffs, yellow gorse and green bracken. Time to mix some colour.
