PRETENDING LIKE I'M A WATERCOLORIST


I finished my first monoprint using watercolors with multiple rubbings. In this technique, the paper is taped (hinged) to a sheet of plastic so it stays in registration. The watercolor is then applied to the plastic then the paper lowered and rubbed with a baren. The result is a monoprint (additive) rather than a monotype (subtractive).

John~ this turned out really nice! I've never tried monoprinting... so many techniques to experiment with!
