What is a monotype print?
This artwork was created using monotype printmaking techniques with acrylic paint. Monotype printing involves applying paint to a smooth, clean, un-etched surface and then transferring the image to paper by hand. Since only a single impression of the image is made, no two prints are exactly alike. As a result of this print process, unique textural qualities are achieved through the layer of paint.
