Monotype print

Monotype print - Monotyping

 

Monotype is a unique printmaking technique that results in a one-of-a-kind image. It involves applying ink to a smooth surface, such as a plate or glass, and then creating an image by drawing, painting, or manipulating the ink. Once the desired image is created, a piece of paper is pressed onto the inked surface, transferring the image onto the paper. Unlike other printmaking techniques, a monotype cannot be replicated exactly, making each print truly unique. Monotypes often have a painterly and spontaneous quality, allowing artists to experiment with textures, colors, and composition. Due to the unpredictable nature of the process, monotype printing offers a sense of exploration and surprise.
