I Left My Heart In The Sand (plate)

This small lithographic plate was inspired by the beach at Bamburgh.

This is the polyester litho plate from which a very limited edition was printed.
Once a print run is finished the plate itself is a reversed image of the prints. It often has marks and textures resulting from the printmaking process, which I particularly like as it adds the depth of the image. The bottom right corner has curled due to the heating part of the process, and there are ridges on the plate, effects which add to the worn and used patina.

Polyester litho is a thin paper-like plate with a coating one side that resembles a stone surface and can be printed from using relief ink.
It was printed with a mix of Black and Bronze Dark Blue oil-based relief ink, and has been mounted on board ready to frame.
