In this original monotype I was recalling memories of the Outer Hebrides where I had a family holiday years ago. The isolated croft (not a thatched one, but with a rusty iron roof) beckons as an amazing place to live and work. But I don't think I'm hardy enough to give it a go! I chose soft colours for the sky and a neutral palette for the land that seemed more suited to the natural colours of the area.
I used rollers and dabbers to spread out the ink then made marks with a cloth and other tools. I built up layers of over-lapping colous by printing serveral times. I incorporated textures by impressing inked up wallpaper and fabric. I also used paper stencils to make the crisp edges.
