Monoprinting
As part of our printing workshops we played around with the idea of monoprinting inspired by sketches taken from the biennial. Unfortunately i was absent for this session however, i was able to do it from home as i had access to the equipment. The idea of monoprinting is to create a thin layer of ink which you then laid paper and pressed into the paper using a pen to create pressure which created a rough drawing. THe first one i did could be seen on the bottom left, unfortunately it did not turn out right as there was too much ink laid out however after removing some ink i was able to create the second design as well as the reverse print.
Monoprinting is a technique i have done previously and usually don't enjoy, however since trying again i really like the rough look to the pieces, i feel it add overall character and felt it was interesting to see my sketches come to life in a different way.
Overall after perfecting the technique i was really happy with how my prints came out ands felt they had character in their own individual way with each being pressure due to different amounts of ink and pressure applied. Moving forward if i was t0 develop this forward i would like to experiment with different papers and colours to see how it would look and how it would affect the transfer.
