Monoprinting is a type of print that can only be made once. These water colour prints are a great introduction to print making for all year levels.
Using acetate as a base, students can draw over the plastic with water soluble markers. Images can also be traced from underneath the acetate as it is see through, this will help students who feel as if they are not good at drawing gain confidence.
Once the image is drawn on the acetate a high gsm or water colour paper can be sprayed or sponged with water. Place the paper on top of the acetate and rub to transfer the image from the acetate to the paper.
Tip: some water-soluble markers work better than others. Brands with a higher pigment will draw on the acetate more easily. Brands with more water than pigment may create a more speckled look
