Monotypes







The monotypes shown here were done with a variety of media from Oil Paint to Speedball water soluble printing ink. They also use a variety of Monotype process such as dark field technique, light field technique, trace monotypes, colored pencil and Mylar, and other water soluble materials.

Monotype Key West Series




I am so excited about this new technique. I used Prismacolor watercolor pencils on double sided Mylar. For the images I used photographs that I took while vacationing in the keys. To transfer I used a press set at 2-4.5 it seemed to be the perfect amount of pressure to transfer the vibrancy of the colored pencils.

I hope to continue this series and use four or five more photos that I have to capture the culture of Key West.
