:: monotype ::


Monotype: A form of printmaking in which the artist draws or paints on some material, such as glass, and then prints the image onto paper, usually with a press. The remaining pigment can then be reworked, but the subsequent print will not be an exact version of the previous print. Monotypes may be unique prints or variations on a theme.

When the monotype was completed, scanned and re-worked the image in Photoshop, where I enhanced the colours, added a little detail and cleaned it up. The final print is a digital print on heavy textured watercolour paper. (Open edition, so feel free to contact me and buy a print!)
