follow me on TwitterProject #20 Monoprint
...making one off prints using paint.
What you will need:
*White bond paper cut to 9 x 12 in.
*Plexi-glass 8 x 10 in., paint brushes
*Acrylic paint – various colours (tempera paints will work fine)
step one:
..take the paint with the brush and paint on the plexi –glass it’s good to work quickly so that the paint doesn’t dry
step two:
..take the paper and place it on top of the plexi-glass and press all over the surface
step three:
..slowly peel the paper off the surface and if desired repeat to make lots of different kinds of monoprints

Hi!
We make similar prints all the time.
Except the kids do it in the bath.
They paint the bath & then we print it onto paper.
No water 'till it's over, no mess, no fuss! Xxx
