Monotypes
In the creation of a monotype, the image is painted directly onto an acrylic panel. The image is then transferred to dampened paper by hand or by press and, as the name suggests, one single, unique impression is created. The appeal of the monotype lies in a distinctive translucency that results in a quality of light very different from a painting on paper. Unlike a painting on paper, where the pigment, (paint or ink), sits on top of the surface,
the pigment in a monotype is pressed into the fibre of the paper. The process, recognized as the most painterly method among original printmaking techniques, is also known for its spontaneity, combining painting, drawing and printmaking processes.

Paintings
