| A new medium for me
mono prints are known as the most
painterly method among the printmaking techniques, a mono print is a
non edition print and is essentially a printed painting. Paint is
applied to glass and the paper is then pressed onto the glass
releasing the painting to the paper. Once the first color is dried
subsequent colors may be added one at a time with the drying of the
substrate between colors. Note the use of several colors in many my
prints. The characteristic of this method is that no two prints are alike and editions are not possible. The true appeal of the monotype lies in the unique translucency that creates a quality of light very different from a painting on paper or a print, and the beauty of this media is also in its spontaneity and its combination of printmaking, painting and drawing mediums.
