Barn 1/5 AP

Barn is a unique composite print composed of a small collagraph plate printed with a small drypoint pate accompanied with a flourish of grass.
The background scene is a collagraph of an old barn. A collagraph is a print taken from a collage of textures inked up as if it was an etching and printed through an etching press onto damp paper under great pressure.
The Barn Owl is a drypoint, also printed like an etching. While the owl was being printed over the collagraph print of the barn I also included some inky strands of real grass. The grass comes out differently for each print I created in this selection of prints. (2 of which are currently available in me Etsy shop).

All printed with stable oil based ink on quality cotton paper.
