Anthony Dyson - Printmakers' Secrets - interesting but not vital to my current studies. However, have picked up an artist called Pilar Munoz who screenprints on wood and manipulated canvas. Will investigate further.
Julia Ayres - Printmaking Techniques - some quite good information. Betty Sellars uses cotton organza in layers onto wood collagraph plates. A good idea is to paint the shapes with coloured acrylic medium to give some indication of tone in the finished print.
John Ross, Clare Romano, Tim Ross - The Complete Printmaker. Interesting and very good basic stuff.
Brenda Hartill and Richard Clarke - Collagraphs and Mixed-Media Printmaking. (One of A C Black's Printmaking Handbooks). Excellent. I am using it quite alot and finding out MASSES very time I do so.
Steve Butt at uni is being very supportive too ... what I've learnt from him is that less is more ....
This one is ready inked up and had a layer of red applied - this layer wasn't awfully successful as I used a soft roller and got too much on the print. The second print I produced went PINK of all things.
