Thank you for this...I am a printmaker and have not tried using a chalk pastel as a resist...and I am currently experimenting with combining trace monotype with various other methods in printmaking. I am excited to try this and appreciate the time and effort that went into providing this instruction.

Thanks. Despite technical problems the principles are well explained.

Very clear and helpful.

Could one use oil pastels?

[@simonesmit6708]

I'm going to guess that the oil pastels could interact more with the printing ink than chalk. It would be a interesting experiment.

Also, point your camera at the center of the image. Did you not watch this video before you uploaded it?

Everyone's a critic. I understood the process and found the video helpful. I'm pretty sure that was the point.

A tad nasty, don't you think? There is a more civilized way to critique.
