Description:
This video is a beginner level tutorial showing how to make a color-field monotype, with no press, at home #withme :)
We will use a sheet of Dura-Lar (polyester drafting film) as a plate, and mulberry paper with water-based printmaking inks. If you don't have a palette to mix your ink colors, use a second sheet of the Dura-lar. Let's get to work!
