What is Monoprinting?
Monoprinting is a printmaking technique that involves transferring an image from a matrix to a paper or other surface using ink or paint. The matrix can be any flat surface, such as a glass plate, metal plate, or even a plastic bag. The image is created by applying ink or paint to the matrix and then pressing the paper onto the matrix. The resulting print is a unique, one-of-a-kind work of art.

Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare your matrix by cleaning it with rubbing alcohol or acetone. This will help the ink or paint to adhere to the surface.
- Apply ink or paint to the matrix using a brush or brayer. You can use any color or combination of colors.
- Place the paper on the matrix. Make sure that the paper is flat and smooth.

- Use different colors and textures of ink or paint to create unique and interesting effects.
