Mixed Media artist, Hilary Norcliffe came by PRESS WORKS today and began a series of monoprint drypoints based on her pen & ink/watercolor Tree Series. Hilary and Todd printed numerous proofs and tried several different approaches to adding color but in the end decided on an a la poupee technique combined with a final drypoint etching. Another session is needed to complete the series.

Todd had Hilary try out a three-color reductive technique. The slow process and inability to fully know how the image would come out proved a bit frustrating. Sorry Hilary, I won't put you through that again.
