CONTINUING TO EXPLORE MONOTYPES

Fascinated by the first attempts at monotype I have continued with hand transfer of oil paints on a plastic plate.
I have found much depends on the consistency of the paint and the hand pressure applied. The following three images are on the same theme.

Some pigments appear to transfer better than others. The third of these images started with the ghost image of the previous one transferred to a paper misted with turpentine.

I then changed the paper for a heavier watercolour paper and used a smaller plate and made these on the theme of the rose.
