Discover Monotype Printmaking Methods
Monotyping is a form of printmaking created by drawing or painting on a smooth, non-absorbent surface. The surface area, or matrix, was historically a copper etching plate, yet in modern work it could vary from zinc or glass up to acrylic glass. The image is then transferred onto a piece of paper by pressing the two with each other, typically using a printing-press. Monotypes can likewise be created by inking an entire surface and then, using brushes or rags, removing ink in order to create a subtractive image, e.g. making lights from a field of opaque color. The inks utilized may be oil-based or water-based. With oil-based inks, the paper might be dry, whereby the graphic has a lot more distinction, or the paper may be moist, in which case the graphic has a ten percent greater range of shades.
Unlike monoprinting, monotyping produces a distinctive print, or monotype, because most of the ink is removed during the first pressing. Although following reprintings are frequently achievable, they vary significantly right from the first print and are typically considered inferior. The second print from the original plate is called a “ghost print” or “cognate”. Stencils, watercolor, solvents, brushes, as well as other tools are usually used to accentuate a monotype print. Monotypes are frequently spontaneously executed and without initial sketch. Monotypes are the most painterly method among the printmaking techniques, an extraordinary print which is essentially a printed painting. The main characteristic of this medium is found in its spontaneity and its combination of printmaking, painting, and drawing media.
