One of the aspects of printmaking that I love is how a work is layered and composed. This post focuses on John Minton’s design for the dust jacket of Time Was Away by Alan Ross. Minton’s paintings are bright and colourful and as a commercial artist he was known for his Neo-romantic drawings and scratchy ink style.
The colour layers of this cover are made up of three inks, a yellow, a blue and black, with the first two being layered to make green and save money with the printing process.
