Sometimes you've just got to try something new.
I've always been fascinated by print, but subconsciously I wouldn't really allow myself to really have a go.
I suppose I felt as though I had to have a 'certificate' of some kind!
(This was exactly how I felt about abstract painting about fifteen years ago!)
But I'm enjoying mono printing so much, and now I'm trying to combine this with some of the techniques that I often use.
It can really help you to simplify the composition, and it is a very forgiving way of working.
I'm really looking forward to the workshops I will be taking next year, I hope everyone else will enjoy playing with this technique too!

Its just using a very basic mono printing technique.
DeleteUse a sheet of plastic to put on your paint, press on your paper and away you go!
Have fun x
