Easiest, Fastest, Printmaking: Trace Monotypes, Step by Step
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 лют 2021
- See a step by step demo on trace monotypes, an easy and fast printmaking technique that creates an amazing range of textures and marks. First a thin layer of printmaking ink (water mixable oils, oils, or acrylic mixed with slow-dri medium work too) is rolled onto a sheet of plexiglass. Next a sheet of paper is placed on top of the plexiglass that has ink on it, and then you can draw with a pen, pencil, any tool that will make a mark. Pull up the paper and you will see your trace monotype on the other side of the paper! Demo by Art Prof Clara Lieu.

I’m so crazy about you Clara, your knowledge, your ability, your talent...your truthfulness. I never had such admiration for other art instructors so I have become a devoted follower.
She is the BEST! Truly one of a kind :) - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
Prof . Your definition is correct
“A monoprint is usually a variation on a series, as there is a pattern or image on the painting surface that can be printed multiple times over, in a variety of ways. A monotype is considered one-of-a-kind and does not employ repeatable elements.”
Awesome!!! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
You are so fun and a joy to watch and learn from. Thank you!
Missed the live and just discovered you! I’m so excited to do this and will be looking for your other content! Thanks for this!
Wow awesome! We hope you enjoy-- you might also enjoy this gelli plate tutorial if you want to check it out: ua-cam.com/video/6Li320HKnuU/v-deo.html - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
Books on printmaking helps a lot, even if you are focused on monoprints
Ooh, I've gotta buy more art books! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
I did aquatint in high school. ( ugh! ) Lino, stamp carving, and gellis. I’m addicted to printmaking. Especially, right now, gelli!
Wow, that sounds so fun!! We have a gelli plate video you might enjoy, feel free to check it out: ua-cam.com/video/6Li320HKnuU/v-deo.html - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
Clara. SO many things I’d love to say as an artist whose first love is drawing!!
But- first and foremost- I have the BEST TIME just listening to you!😉❤
awwww thank you!! -Prof Lieu
This will be so much fun to try!
Hope you enjoy it! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
Hi, done etching, collography,and Gelli printing monotype just a little. Rosemary Suffolk Uk.
Oh, this is so much fun. I remember doing monotypes when I was a student. Im a painter and I really enjoyed this technique. Thanks for the video, you gave me idea to make some prints just for fun.
You are so welcome! These prints are definitely painterly, we hope you have fun experimenting :) - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
@@artprof Yes, they are painterly, and what i like the most is that they are all different, unique. Thanks, i will definitely have fun.
A most enjoyable art tutorial for my beginner level. Clara makes printmaking huge fun, especially for those of us who don't feel too confident with our artmaking but love to play and try anyway.
Ohhh that's so wonderful to hear, thank you so much! -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
I have done screen printing and am now taking a graduate class with the printmaking professor at CSUN Michelle Rozik. So I'm just interested in watching as many people who do printmaking as possible. I love your videos you brighten my day!
That's amazing, we're glad you found us!! Thank you so much for watching, good luck with your work :) - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
I love brayer marks, it adds so much interest to the finished piece. I love the whole process and the results of printing. I have always loved the smell of ink. This year I am studying Visual Arts, at present we are making ceramic clay sculptures and then we head into printmaking. It is so exciting heading off to school to do something fun and being triple the age of the class has been no barrier at all. I retire at the end of the year so I will continue studying next year. There is something special about studying (in my case...playing) for pure enjoyment without having to worry about future job prospects. This was a very interesting stream, thank you Clara.
We're so glad you liked it!! Playing around with art is always such a fun way to learn :) - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
Clara obviously doesn't know how good she is, as both a teacher and an artist!! I think the word monotype has 2 meanings in art... A typeface with equal spacing, as well as a print that has has only one single edition (where as monoprint has a number of editions using the same design). Artists Proof is the very first print (to test the design - eg. Test that colours work and layers all line up) that the artist keeps. For other great printmakers look up Dan Tirals, Belinda Del Pesco and Yeates Makes.👍Highly Recommended 👍👌🤗 Thanks always Clara. 🙏😇
Thank you so much for those artist recommendations!! We will have to check them out. We're so happy you tuned in for this video, thank you kindly! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
This was so fun to watch. First time.
Thanks so much for tuning in with us! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
So helpful. I had done a monotype yesterday and was having issues. Now realise I have been using wayyyy too much ink. Thank you for these tutorials, really inspiring and informative. 🙏💙
You are so welcome! Thank you so much for the feedback :D - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
Thanks for the video. It is really fun. Daler Rowney block printing medium for acrylic turns acrylic into print ink. The acrylic mixed with the medium takes very long to dry then. It also makes the acrylic sticky which is needed for printing. It works well. You do not have to use System 3 acrylic. I have used another brand of acrylic and it worked well.
Thanks for the info! -Prof Lieu
Definitely going to try this, but please do your PRINTING 101 Video series, so much more interactive and encouraging. Thanks for all your videos! Jaci In South Africa
Hi! Absolutely love your videos and making art (specifically printmaking omg) more accessible!!
I'm a printmaker and a solution to get rid of the fussy lines/grain is using a thick stiff ink. Thin and runny ink can transfer to the paper in areas you don't want it to. Stiff ink will make the paper only pick up areas with applied pressure. Akua specifically makes this thing called mag mix, which can be mixed into the ink to make it more stiff. Hope this helps 😊
This is such a great suggestion, thank you so much for sharing your expertise!!! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
amazing
Glad you think so! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
Don't worry. It's probably not blood your are seeing on the sheep. It's more likely paint or a type of crayon. Sheep from many farms that herd/graze together are often marked so farmers know which sheep are theirs. During breeding season, rams wear a type of harness with 'crayon' on it. Everytime a ram mounts a ewe it leaves a swipe of color on her back. Then the breeder knows who has been bred and when lambs will be born
Thanks!
Thank you so much for supporting us! ❤️ -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
Also, I can pretty much guarantee those sheep aren’t “lost.” They range over a lot of territory, and ranchers are very aware of how much each animal is worth in terms of meat, so, they most likely wouldn’t lose track of a whole mess of their animals.
Really like all your videos. Thanks for sharing so much knowledge and inspiration. When signing prints I've heard several different explanations regarding 'AP's. I had heard or read that 'APs' are prints pulled at the onset of an intended edition run but not officially a part of the edition, so they're more or less 'test prints' before committing to the edition work. I've also heard that 'APs' are often pulled from the 'midst' of an edition in progress I suppose to 'proof' the edition during it's printing. Also, is it common to designate a 'mono-type' as an 'AP'...as there's only one? Or maybe a 'mono-print' could be an 'AP' since they have some repeatable element or matrix?
There are differing opinions; yes, APs are not official part of the edition, specifically because they won't match the prints in the edition, where the expectation is that every print in the edition is exactly the same. No one can print say 5 prints in a row of an edition of 5 that are perfect, inevitably you will pull a bunch that aren't good enough for the edition. People use "AP" or even "1/1" for a monotype, since there is only 1. Hope that helps! -Prof Lieu
Enjoyed this greatly. Just have one comment about signing/numbering; "AP" for artist's proof is used to indicate that the "plate" is ready for making the edition of multiple prints... it's the "proof" that things are ready to go forward. For a monotype/monoprint, it's best to just sign "1/1".
Thank you so much for the info!! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
Hii, how can i make pressure on the paper if i dont have the pressroll printer, im making the tecnique you made of the fungus but im noth worki g with jelly plaqué but with a acrylic one, the thing Is that i make pressure with my hands AND with a spoon but It gets messy not deep darks, not uniform. What can i use yo make a uniform pressure over paper. Thanks, you guys aré the Best, i want to try everithyng, you make allá this specific process so accesible.
Hi there, can matt emulsion paint be used in this technique and with a gel plate? Thanks for your great video! Totally addicted to gel printing and now, mono - printing! 😉 💜
I've never tried it, but there are lots of resources on gelli plates online! ICYMI we have 2 other tutorials with gelli plates: Gelli Plate Printmaking: ua-cam.com/video/6Li320HKnuU/v-deo.html and Gelli Plate Image Transfers in Acrylic : ua-cam.com/video/WP6vtTS9kT4/v-deo.html -Prof Lieu
@@artprofThanks
don't you recommend the gelliplate? I would really like to make a combination of gelliprinting and drawing. Greetings from Luxemburg
It could get a little squishy when you draw on top of it, but you can use it. Here are our gelli plate tutorials:

Is there a way to speed up the drying of Akua inks? They sometimes seem to take days to dry.
The only thing I can think of is putting it in front of a fan! Other than that, just patience, sadly - Mia, Art Prof Staff
Which paper and colour u use ple say details?
I totally cannot remember, but it was basic drawing paper, nothing fancy! Inks are Akua Intaglio inks. -Prof Lieu
Could you do the same thing on a gelliplate?
Yes, absolutely! It could get a little bit squishy though. -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
What kind of paper does not work with print in example: watercolor paper?
Probably any paper that has a slick surface, or is like card stock, so yes, watercolor I imagine wouldn't be as effective. -Prof Lieu
How about placing all kinds of colors on the glass ?
Absolutely, do it!! -Prof Lieu
Is it supposed to work with gelli plate ? I tried gelli plate , it didn't work
This technique doesn't work on a gelli plate, it's too soft and you need a rigid surface like the plexiglass! -Prof Lieu
But like using the old carbon paper we used as kids I’m 75
Use brush cleaner to clean your brayer!
Ooh such a good idea! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
i really shouldnt watch this videos, especially when im not near my print making stuff, becayse i just feel the NEED to also play around.
the same thing happened with the gelli plate episode, it only took me 5 minutes before i ordered a plate.
I always get like that, too! The need to create becomes SO STRONG, my bank account suffers - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
Wow do people watch and listen obviously not
