Trace Monotypes Printmaking

Trace Monotype

I will be showing how I complete a Trace Monotype and the materials used. A Trace Monotype is where you ink a surface and only print single lines on the paper. It is a bit like drawing. After the ink dries, you can paint the surface or add more ink depending on your project.

Check out my other channel Contrary Art Center with more videos on monotype.
