Printmaking Again!



I am experimenting with a new printing process called monoprints/monotype prints. This image depicts a scene from the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, located on Maryland's Eastern Shore.

What are monoprints?

Known as the most painterly method among the printmaking techniques, a monoprint is a non editionable kind of print and is essentially a printed painting.
The characteristic of this method is that no two prints are alike. However, images can be similar, but editioning is 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.
