WORKING WITH MONOTYPES
     


Monotypes are “one offs” - images created and printed  quickly before the inks or in my case, the water media, dries. I don't use a printing press but instead apply pressure with my hands and that seems to work quite well. I use a variety of materials including gouache, graphite and watercolour pencils. 

Monotype results are unpredictable and I have to work intuitively and quickly, incorporating both drawing and painting skills. This brings a gestural freshness to the images created. Drawing and printing in this way encourages me to be open to possibility!
