Sampler Session: Water Soluble Monotypes

Sampler Session: Water Soluble Monotypes

Water soluble monotypes are a form of printmaking that uses water-soluble crayons and watercolor paints. Participants use these materials to paint and draw on a plexiglass plate. The paints are allowed to dry and are then printed on an etching press using damp paper. Wet paper reactivates the water-soluble materials and results in a vibrant impression. This form of monotype is the form of printing we offer that is closest to drawing and painting.
