I just posted (7) seven monoprints, that I did a while back, to my fine art website.

The thing I find most interesting about monoprints is that they are one of a kind prints. That explains the "mono" intro. Anyway, very fine art-like, and the uniqueness increases the value and rareness of the print.
In most printing formats you can run many copies of the same artwork; hence the name print.
The creation process of the monoprints I made was:
- Subtracting by wiping away sections of the color from several different colored plates. The plexiglass plates where colored with thinned oils that I rolled on with a brayer.
- Meanwhile, I soaked the Reeves BFK paper in a huge vat of water.
- Then one at a time I ran the different colored plates (laid on top of the wet paper) through the press.
- After the paper dried, I then went over certain areas of the fine art and accentuated aspects of it with Rembrandt soft pastel sticks.
