Monoprinting on Collagraphs

As an artist who adores both mediums, I'm excited to share with you the magic that unfolds when they come together.

In this video, I'll take you step-by-step through the process of combining cholograph plates and monoprinting techniques to create expressive, vibrant masterpieces. We'll dive into the fascinating world of creating colorful, textured papers, adding an unforgettable depth and texture to our artwork.

From the selection of materials and tools to the translation of mini sketches into expressive prints, I'm here to share all the insights and tips I've gathered along the way.
