Today I spent a brief 15 minutes trying out traditional monoprinting (rather than Gelli plate printing), using a polypropylene print plate and black paint, then drawing on it to print the drawn lines with the paint.
I did some prints based on the shape of the Love In A Mist (Nigella) flowers which are blooming in my front garden at the moment, and some of my iron men.
I’m quite pleased with how they came out, I just need to learn to make sure the paint is damp enough – the more blobby ones were with dry paint. Overall I like the soft lines.
