‘Castillo del Mar V’, Monoprint & Ink, 30cm x 22cm

Monoprint & Ink, 30cm x 22cm on Bristol Clairefontaine cartridge.

This is my fifth tribute to one of Dartmouth’s most famous landmarks, Castle Cove, & one of my favourite swimming spots.

I’d been switching between making Coves & Tree Portraits on a near-daily basis at this time – both had an equal pull for me; and with these Coves, I became interested in the technicalities of rendering the entire piece with an old decorator’s rubber seam roller [minus the trees, I should add, though I am working on that!]. This was a particular challenge here with applying the white for the rolling tide in this print.
