    Following her residency at Pier Arts in Orkney, Victoria Crowe has developed two new prints in the Print Studio at Edinburgh Printmakers through our EP Editions programme.

     

    Based on sketches of dusk and the gloaming evening light after sunset, they explore the mood, colour, and light of the Orkney landscapes. Crowe explored working on stone to produce lithographs with characteristic delicate tusche washes and pen and in lines, very similar to the watercolour sketches she produced up in Orkney.

     

    Both prints are available to purchase online or in person, and are £660 unframed (or 10 instalments of £66 at 0% interest with the Own Art scheme)

  • Working closely with Lithographer Alastair Clark, these works make extensive use of layering and inking with colour blending to create gradations with the small edition sizes reflecting the hand printed nature of each layer.

    “The lengthy twilights and midnight dawns of the Orkney landscape at midsummer were visually quite extraordinary. I made many paintings and studies while I was there, and I really enjoyed the chance to work through these ideas again when I returned to Edinburgh. To work in a printmaking medium always extends the idea visually, and it was a great experience to work with stone lithography aided by Alastair and his unfailing expertise”
