Bibliography
Publications having some references to artworks in public collections and artists and writers names.
At the time of publication these are as 'rough guide' suggestions to explore and cross reference names, processes and artworks. Some publications listed might not be in stock at a 'local library. In Great Britain it is sometimes possible via The Public Library Service to obtain much for those with special interests from The British Library. Public Libraries usually have a quantity of 'art books' as a current collection and one may find scope for 'Inter Library Loans' by asking for 'search' by subject or author for any number of items about print, artists' prints and printmaking. Also paper technology and paper making together with commercial printing and printing technology for wider reaching clues to ways and means.
If it happens that there is an arts institution, college of art, academy, artists group studios or print makers' studio group in one's locality, then there may be a chance to see current and back numbers of such as 'Jackdaw', 'Artists Newsletter', 'Printmaking Today' and other specialist publications.
From Public Libraries, possibly by special request, seek such as the following:-
_____'Creative Print Making', author Peter Green, 1964, published by Batsford Ltd._______ see illustrations on pages 109 to 113 and text on page 103 _____
' This section also includes some monotypes. This is a direct transfer method of working in which the drawing is made onto an inked-up slab and transferred to paper while still wet. For each print the slab on which the drawing is being done must be replenished with ink, so it is not practicable to obtain two or more identical prints. However it has many possibilities as a direct quick method and whenever a slab of ink has been used one should always be encouraged to experiment with monotypes on it before cleaning away.'______

'A New Method of assisting the Invention in Drawing Original Compositions of Landscape', author Alexander Cozens ( 1717-86 ) published 1785, republished by Paddington Press Ltd. 1977 __ ISBN 0 448 22120 9 ____ for method of making original compositions by way of 'abstract' marks and blots on paper as developed into fully formed finished artworks together with quote in Eighteenth Century English language translation of remarks by Leonardo da Vinci (b.1452 - d.1519) concerning invention and imagination ____ ( from 5 page and continued on page 6 )
"Among the things I shall not scruple to deliver a new method of assisting the invention, which, though trifling in appearance, may yet be of considerable service in opening the mind, and putting it upon the scent of new thoughts; and it is this. If you look upon an old wall covered with dirt, or the odd appearance of some streaked stones, you may discover several things like landscapes, battles, clouds, uncommon attitudes, humorous faces, draperies, etc. Out of this confused mass of objects, the mind will be furnished with abundance of designs and subjects perfectly new."
___ and Alexander Cozen's inventive ideas, page 6 and continued, with following illustrations.
___
" I presume to think, that my method is an improvement upon the above hint of Leonardo da Vinci, as the rule forms offered by this scheme are made at will; and should it happen, that a blot is so rude or unfit, that no good composition can be made from it, a remedy is always at hand, by substituting another. But according to Leonardo, the rude forms must be sought for in old walls, etc. which seldom occur; consequently, the end of the composer may sometimes be defeated. An artificial blot is a production of chance, with a small degree of design; for in making it, the attention of the performer must be employed on the whole, or a general form of the composition, and upon this only; whilst the subordinate parts are left to the casual motion of the hand and brush."

'The plasticity of a substance is its resistance to deformation of flow when a certain initial finite force ( the controlled stroke of the brush, the graver, the palette knife, the chisel ) is necessary to overcome the internal friction and cause the material to flow. When a material is in the plastic state, it will retain its shape after deformation. Some paints have greater plasticity than others, when their brush strokes "stay put" instead of flowing out.'
