Monotype Print

Alice Cook, 2014, Monotype

This is my first print done in monotype printmaking.  I used three acetate sheets in three colors for the plate.  I first laid out the green branch, eliminating all of the other elements of the picture.  After printing the branch, I laid out the flowers, then finally the blue background.  It is an interesting way of making prints.  I like the fact that you only end up with one original print, unlike other printmaking techniques where you can have multiple prints.  I have another monotype project in the works and I am looking forward to experimenting with it.  Enjoy!
