Monotypes are stunningly beautiful, amazingly fun, mindfully relaxing, and suitable to old and young, beginner and expert. A monotype is a unique printing expression made from a flat surface. You can make monotypes from a home-made gelatin round or from any plexiglass or glass sheets you have lying around the house. If you wish, you can buy pre-made monoprinting surfaces from Gelli Arts, Gel Press, Speedball, and other vendors. Really, you can use just about any paint-resistant flat surface for monoprinting which can easily be cleaned afterwards.
On that chosen surface you paint, swirl, fingerpaint, stamp, design, and play with the colors. When your design is complete, you then lay a piece of paper onto the paint in order to capture its essence. And then you begin again. Each new expression brings fresh life to your creativity.
Monotypes are a wonderful way to reduce stress, to brainstorm, to explore your creativity, and to simply breathe in the beauty of every passing moment. It is a pure exercise in mindfulness.
This book has everything you need to get you on the road to making beautiful items for family, friends, and for sale.
