Monoprinting
What are Monoprints?
Monoprinting is a very simple but effective method of
Printmaking. Mono means ‘alone’ in Latin. So you will be
creating single unique prints.

Monoprints often combine the spontaneity of printed inks
and paper, creating a surface that is unlike any other art.



Monoprints are known
as the most painterly
method among the
printmaking
techniques, a
monoprint is often
regarded as a printed
painting
Example of positive and negative prints




You will be creating both positive and negative monoprints
To begin…

  1. Choose one of your Tonal Collection drawings from
     your sketchbook.

  2. Create a simple line drawing of this image using tracing
     paper – this image is going to be the basis for a
     monoprint.

Homework:

1.Make sure you are up to date with all past
sketch book work

2.Bring in a variety of paper, fabrics that you
would like to print on next lesson.
How to Monoprint and experiments



You are going to
create a double page
in your sketchbook…

1. Explain how you
produce a Monoprint.

2. Experiment with
different papers and
inks.


                       Example sketchbook page explaining how to Monoprint
                       and experiment
Step-by-step
 Monoprinting
What you will need:

  An apron, newspaper, a plastic board, ink, roller, a range of marking
  materials Eg:pencils, pens and a range of papers to experiment with.


 1. First of all dollop a small amount of ink onto your
    plastic board, then dip your roller into it and roll the
    ink on a clean piece of the plastic. When rolling
    make sure you lift the roller so you don’t just roll the
    same bit of ink (this is not the layer of ink you will be
    working from, this is more like a recharge area).

 2. Then you need to roll out the area of ink you will be
    working on. You want it nice and thin and even
    when you have got the correct surface area it
    should become ‘tacky;. Each time you need a bit
    more ink go back to your recharge area, not the
    dollop of ink, you need to keep the ink to a
    minimum.
Step-by-step
Monoprinting


   3. You then place your paper on top of
      your rolled ink and draw on the back of
      it. Experiment to start with, with different
      types of pencil, pen, anything you can
      find. They all make slightly different
      marks.


   4. Turn over your paper to see the results.
      There are often lovely accidental marks
      in the background when using this
      technique, these are what make
      Monoprints so charming
Tips…
Try making marks with your fingers, this leaves a
lovely soft line, good for shading. Also remember if
you're including any lettering you have to write
backwards!
Examples of adding shading with your fingers…




 Add simple lines first and then create
 shading with your fingers. The harder
 you press the darker the marks will be.
