I did another 8×10 monoprint today. This time I combined gouache and watercolor pencil on the sanded plexiglass plate. I then transferred the pigments to paper. I soaked the paper for about 10 minutes, drained it, blotted it so it was damp, placed it over the plate, taped it in place at one end, and rolled over the back with a soft rubber brayer. l also rubbed the back with a stainless steel soup spoon. I was impressed with how well everything transferred to the paper. It held all the fine pencil line detail.
Hand sanded plexiglass plate 8×10 inches (20.3×25.4 cm), Strathmore 400 Series Mixed Media 9×12 inch (23×30.5 cm) paper, Schmincke Horadam gouache, Derwent Inktense watercolor pencils, Arteza flat waterbrush, and a bit of Dr. Ph. Martin’s Pen White ink in a Molotow 2mm empty marker.
