Monotype Prints, my A Creative attempts

About, Captures from Finland, Photography

Someone made the request to see what I created this weekend. You should be careful what you wish for 😂

A quick introduction to Monotype as a printmaking technique.Result: The resulting print is a “one-off” or “mono” type, as it is the only one of its kind that can be produced from that specific matrix.  Process: Monotype is a form of printmaking where an artist creates a unique image on a non-absorbent surface, like glass or metal. We used metal. Image transfer: The image is then transferred to paper by pressing the two surfaces together, either by hand or using a printing press. We used a press.

A series of monotype prints with vibrant blues and abstract cityscapes. These came out rather nice, I am rather happy with these.

  8. I think the two vibrant trees make a lovely complementary set!
    So do you etch the metal or glass before applying the paint?
