Going back to my roots with these tissue paper mon

Going back to my roots with these tissue paper monoprint sea and landscapes. These are actually 're-mastered' as I call it- where I've re- discovered older pieces and suddenly know exactly what they need. Some of these have even been exhibited, but I they need a little something extra.

They're also great to work on over the summer holidays, because I don't need a press- these are simply made by rolling paint out onto a smooth surface, making shapes and textures, and then placing the paper over the ink and applying pressure the the back of the paper by hand to transfer the ink. Simple innit! Then I do that a lot more times for each colour!

If you're interested in learning this simple low- tech way to print at home, I have 2 offerings this autumn:
one-off live 3hr workshops (online) on 18th September or 27th November. Both £35
Or
My complete 'Playful Printmaking at Home' self -paced video course. Comprehensive and with lifetime access (plus the ability to rewind and re-watch!). Includes 3 weeks of real time online support. Enroll now, videos released November 1st. £95

You can book both via my website ruthander.co.uk Mailing list subscribers get a discount on the online workshops - join my list via the link in my bio.

These pieces will be framed and ready for South Bristol Arts Trail 10th/11th of September.

A tour through my Artist Support Pledge collages at breakneck speed! I'll be offering these 15 little collages throughout August. They'll all be £75 each. Difficult to choose which ones to offer (there were quite a few duds aswell as these!) But in the end I went for the ones that were simple and gestural. I'll be posting one every other day during August, so favourite my account if you don't want to miss out.
My mailing list subscribers will be getting a preview, so if you really don't want to miss out jump on my list (link in bio)

If you'd like first refusal on all new work then hop onto my email list (link in bio).

Each month I write an email to my subscribers and I include new work from the studio that is theirs alone to view or buy for a week or two.

This month the new work is my 'Morning Path' series, which has featured in quite a few posts as work in progress and is now photographed and ready for viewing.

My July email goes out at the end of this week and as well as the above, it will also include what I learned from my 100 day project, a sneak preview of the collages I'll be offering via Artist Support Pledge in August, and a subscriber price for my autumn online workshops, as well as where you can visit me and my studio this autumn. Phew!

Hop on the list if you fancy it- at the least you get nice pics in your inbox!

I only realised how influenced I am by Eric Ravili

I only realised how influenced I am by Eric Ravilious' landscapes when I went to see the new film about him 'Drawn to War' (@raviliousfilm -currently showing in cinemas).

He seems to have seeped into my conciousness -though I have been a fan for many a year. I've been really lucky to have seen his work 'live' a couple of times this year, at @arcwinch in Winchester and recently as part of 'Digging Deep' @rwabristol . His work never fails to bring a smile to my face - I think because he manages to translate the joy he felt towards form and composition in life onto paper so well. A true art.

I can feel a blog post coming on!

These are works in progress and are drypoints, collage and monoprints of Uffington Castle/White Horse (you can just see a close up of the White Horse in the bottom right corner) and they are definitely feeling the Eric Rav vibe!

You can see a video of me working on these on my You Tube channel 'Printing at Home with Ruth Ander'

It really changed things for me actually- the 100 day project. Made me pare down what it is that I do. Be less afraid of abstraction. And let the repetition push through any mistakes or failures.
I've written a blog post all about my first thoughts since finishing, but I'm sure it will resonate for a while yet.

Read my blog post at ruthander.co.uk and grab your chance to buy a monoprint collage throughout August when I'll be offering them via Artist Support Pledge, every other day (some from the project, others from afterwards). They're all pretty small (about 20x20cms) and will be £75 unframed and posted to you.

I'v cut out the rather convoluted decision making

I'v cut out the rather convoluted decision making process that precedes this collage sticking session (though I might make another video of that!) And just stuck to the sticking bit - though you might notice there's still a bit of decision making going on as I stick.

I'm using nori paste (rice glue) here to stick tissue paper monoprints to etching paper. I got a bit addicted to making these little abstract collages during my 100 day project earlier in the year.

I'm selling some of my collages, for a very reasonable £75 during August via #artistsupportpledge They're great for gallery walls or to bring a little colour to nooks.

I'll be posting and story-ing every other day in August.
