Known about Monotype Printmaking's

Monotypes are a shape of customary fine art printmaking that's easy to learn, needn't be difficult nor engage special equipment or ink. You can use the paint you typically work with whether acrylic, oils, or watercolor and quantity of paper from a sketchbook.

What you utilize will authority the result you get, and you'll need to trial to learn how much paint to use, how much pressure to apply, and whether the document wants to be dry or damp. The randomness is fraction of the fun.

The monotypes in the picture were entire using water-based lino printing inks. No cause other than I'd just bought them and was annoying them out. I establish them very greasy rather than sticky like oil-based printing inks and desirable only minimal pressure to transfer toward paper.
