- Biographical Information
- The painting of the print took 1.5 to 2 hours and was a demonstration for my class in monoprint taught spring term. The paper was prepared by soaking in water and then placing between blotters and in a plastic bag the night before. The medium used is turpentine and oil and I use softer watercolor-type brushes rather than stiff bristle usually used in oil painting. It is from a sketch made when flying over the Grand Canyon- a spectacular sight. Monoprint affords spontenaiety in its design and that is my aim in the employment of the medium. (Krause, 1985.)
