John Bloor PrintmakerDetail from Upturned Boats.
I'm so happy with these colours. Probably some of the best colours I've ever printed.

Upturned Boats has now been photographed properly and is available in my shop!
It is a six colour screenprint made entirely from hand made stencils using paper cuts, brush strokes, pencil and ink pen marks.
By its nature, nothing lines up perfectly! Because I cut everything out by hand there are small gaps and overlaps but this adds to the enjoyment of the print I think.
It is a limited edition of 50 and is numbered and signed by me.
The size of the paper is 35cm x 47cm approximately. The artwork size is 21cm x 30cm approximately.
It's printed in six colours on Fabriano 5 210gsm printing paper.
I hope you enjoy it!

Editioning is done! Upturned Boats is finished. I think I got about 27 good ones.
Warmer yellow, lighter blue, lighter dark grey. I think it all works well.
Nothing lines up! It was great fun to make and I will take all this learning going foward. This is not the end of me making stencils but just the beginning.

I promised to keep posting work in progress, so here are my upturned boats in progress. I am actually planning out at least some of the print on the computer before I try and make the stencils by hand.
It's a question of what can be positive and what can be negative. Pencil marks and brush strokes cannot be negative (obviously) but paper cuts can be, I guess. Maybe I've made this too hard for myself!
I have no idea how to make multiple layers accurate. I mean, obviously if you cut a boat out of paper then do do have a perfect positive and negative shape.
Anyway there it is! Do let me know what you think.
