Monoprint
9×12
This was actually the first image in the series I had completed, using a monoprinting method where I paint on a plexiglass plate and then lay down a flat piece of printing paper to get a blotchy texturous effect of the lines, which I believed enhances the dark nature of the subject matter. I painted in the red with watercolor because I didn’t want the red to show too much if I had imprinted it with red ink, though i did later added bit of red pastel.
