One experiment in creating a layered monotype

Here is one way I make a layered oil-based monotype using the same matrix.

One on one monotype. And I love the idea! Thanx for sharing

[@batswbennett]

Thanks for watching and happy monotyping

I like your innovative approach to creating your double monotype - and the end result! Great figure painting.

[@batswbennett]

Thank you. And I like your tag. My grandmother was a Mannix from the Isle of Man.

Thanks for the demo Tom. Of course this is a monotype!! Many printmakers do several layers for a monotype. If it is one unique image that cannot be repeated, then it is a monotype!!

I appreciate that.

loves this video very informative and as a fellow monotype
printmaker it was really interesting. Thank you !!

Thanks for watching1

Just because you layer, doesn't make it NOT a monotype. It's an image that can't be editioned so that makes it a monotype. The citrus oil thinner is an interesting idea.

[@batswbennett]

Yes, the citrus thinner really responds radically different than a mineral or petroleum solvent like turps or kerosene. It's a lot of fun to play with.

Also what is a grease pencil please

[@batswbennett]

It's a wax drawing/writing tool, also known as a china marker, chinagraph pencil, or wax pencil.

Meat cutters/butchers/cheese mongers traditionally wrapped their product in a waxed “butcher” paper and then wrote on the paper the name/price, if that helps. They believe that European grocery stores/markets still wrap & mark meat/cheese this way 😊

I saw a ghost or a genie or pippi longstocking even. He saw a naked woman. Sad

[@SkuStyle]

Female form regardless how presented always screams.

[@batswbennett]

That is a statement that requires some subtle explanation.

[@franceselizabethvanvelzen8555]

@@batswbennett I agree, a most peculiar statement.
