Wow, love this, I particularly love the layering aspect. I have a colorless blender from absolutely years ago, it's a felt pen though, absent of colour.
Hi Penny, Yes, the colorless blender works pretty well to smooth over textured pencil marks, and blend and thin the wax base in the pigments, which then allows additional color layers on that treated passage. Have fun!
Hi Belinda:
I find your tutorials to be excellent, clear and fine teaching tools. I will recommend them to others.
Hank
Hi Hank! Thanks for stopping by and leaving feedback! I appreciate the referrals, and I wish you great success in your art journey!
You have just opened a door for me to do things I want to do, but haven't been able to figure out on my own. And there she goes! Wheee! Thank you!!!
Go Hallie, GO! Zoom-zoom! :)
that finished work was so awesome.
Thanks Eddie! I appreciate your encouragement. Happy printing!
Very well produced and instructional video. I’m a complete newbie to printmaking so thanks for making it so accessible.
Hello Roy! Thanks for the feedback! If you get stuck while watching the videos in this monotype series, don't be afraid to leave questions in the comments. And all the supplies used in each video are listed in the Show More link under the video. Happy printing!
I'm enjoying watching the tutorials especially the ones not using a press as I have hurt my shoulder at the moment and can't work my own press for the time being.
Thanks for the feedback. I hope you heal fast and get back to your press soon.
As always, a video that's clear, methodical and really well explained. Above all, inspires me and others to have a go at this. Thanks so much, Belinda. 👍
Thanks so much for such kind words and encouragement. I really appreciate you taking the time to leave a bit of feedback. Happy Monotyping to you!
Your art always makes my heart smile. Thanks for putting all the time in to share your knowledge with us. Have a great year and keep those videos coming.
Hi Therese! Thanks for the kind comment, and the encouragement to keep filming. I promise to have more material to share sooooon! :)
Your instructions are very clear, in fact one of the best Ive seen! I am a retired art teacher and appreciate your logical sequences/stages.
Thanks for that kind compliment, Eric! Now that you're retired, does it mean you get to make art for yourself these days? :)
funnily enough I spent six yrs after retiremet writing about art and have only recently started painting again!@@bdelpesco
Well THAT's Good news! Grab a brush and carry on, sir! :)
Thanks so much Belinda for a fantastic tutorial. I’m always so inspired by watching your videos.
Hi there, Maggie! Thanks for your visit and your compliments! I hope the inspiration spills out into hours of time with your art supplies! :)
Great tip about the gouache!
Hi Stephanie, I hope the gouache “cover up” color works well for you. I bet it’ll be a beautiful monotype!
I reviewed this vid some months after the first time I watched it, and picked up on your use of white gouache. It's a great tip! Thanks.
Hi Sally - thanks for the feedback - I'm so glad it worked for you. I think I mentioned in the video that I like the look of the linework, but it's awfully nice to have the option to soften it if you wish. Have fun with your printmaking - your work is wonderful!
Just lovely! Thank you for sharing this technique
Thanks for the note, Joanna. If you give it a try and have any questions, come back and post them here. :)
Fascinating! Shall certainly be trying this. Many thanks.
Hi there, Doreen Shilling - thanks for taking the time to leave some feedback. I hope you have fun making a monotype, and don’t be afraid to leave questions here if you get stuck.

Hi +Li Ela - It really *is* fun! I hope you enjoy the process, and post your results somewhere on social where we can see! :)
Hi Belinda, thanks so much for your great monotype videos! Question: do you wait for the ink to dry before you add colored pencils, watercolor, etc.? Also, If I am layering monotypes (printing more than one image on the same piece of paper with multiple passes), do I need to let the ink dry between the passes? Thanks much!
Hi Ann, if you’re adding watercolors, colored pencils or pastels, wait till the ink is completely dry. Layering inks wet vs dry will have different results based on the inks you choose, your paper, and the humidity of your studio. Run some small test prints with random overlaps, and mark the dates on the back so you can examine and note the drying time, blending properties of overlapped colors, or complete coverage of one color over another. Be sure to mark your brand and type on inks and paper in your tests - record results for future reference. 👍🏼
Another great tutorial thank you
Thanks, +Jennie Wallick !! Happy printing!
Dear Belinda, Do you start with images from a copier or will an ink jet photo work? Can an etching press be used in the trace monotype process? Many thanks, Jo Ann
Hi Jo Ann, You can copy photos on an inkjet printer, or take them to Kinkos and have copies/enlargements/reductions made, or trace photos and use the tracings to layout your design... the sky is the limit. And yes, you can use an etching press, though it's not necessary. The pressure of pen/pencil to paper will pick up the ink just fine. Happy printing!
Great demo 🎨🤔👍🇨🇦
Thanks, Heather!
Can you use rice paper with this technique?
Hi Emily, yes, you can, but it will depend on the integrity of the rice paper. They are not all made the same way... Test a swatch of paper you have with your colored pencils to ensure the fibers don't mar, roll or pill from the friction of the colored pencils first. If they take the color without tearing, you're Good to Go! Happy printing!
Thank you for sharing. I saw this on Daily Paintworks and was curious about how this was a monoprint. Is the ink waterproof for watercolor applications?
Hi +Shelly Parchman - thanks for visiting! Yes, the Akua inks do not re-wet after they dry, and they clean up with soap and water. I've sloshed lots of watercolor on monotypes and link ute using this ink, and never had any bleed or edge-blossom on a print. Happy printmaking to you!
