This morning I came to the studio and had very little time to do a print. So Iexperimented with using the water soluble oil pastels on the foam block plates. It is so fast and easy and clean. And you do not need many special tools and supplies. I just
- colored the foam plate with the pastels,
- spritzed the paper and
- blotted it on newsprint so it is not shiny
- place the paper on the plate
- cover with wax paper
- burnish with a paint brush handle, spoon, door knob, barren
These foam printing plates are plates that I had already “incised” with lines and marks.
