Yup, here is another monotype i worked on.
Still freezing here -2 degrees - forgetaboutit.!!
this is a watercolor monotype on an 4x6 acrylic plate. I first rubbed with a spoon and then in a small homemade plate. I have been playing with these monotypes this week ad it is fun because i never know how it will turn out some results I like but others i have issues with. But it is the unpredictability that I like some result in rreally interesting textures and blend, other kind of squash the paint out . I have never had any experience with print making of any kind-so i hope i will learn to refine this tecnique. I have been using Arches cover sheets that i soak in water and then lelt dry to the sheen is gone befor I place it on the paper. I have seen some other monotypes that the artist later finishes with colored pencil.......I would think that if pure watercolor is used it is a transparent watercolor print. I find i like a simple design or composition that uses high-key complementry color and let the printing add the texture and broken color. This has been purey a fun experiment in media and composition that i wonder will influence my painting approach.
