MONOTYPE DESCRIPTION.
Monotypes are made by taking a print from a plate, plastic,
glass or metal, on which there is a wet painting in oils.
The plate is in no way engraved or etched thus only one
print can be taken. Therefore the print is unique. However,
it is possible to take a second print which comes out very pale.
This is called a ghost print. Artists often use this ghost print as an
underpainting, giving the artist the chance to re-work the image
on the paper using other mediums (pastel, watercolours,
coloured crayons . . .) to create an entirely new work of art.
Edgas Degas (1834 - 1917) created some 300-500 monotypes
and called them "painted drawings".
If the plate is worked on again after the first print has been
pulled it is possible to achieve a second unique print, utilising
the delicate tones produced by the ghost print. These I have
simply called second pull, to distinguish them from the first pull,
as they are not technically a pure ghost image.
There are a lot of unpredictables involved and the spontaneity
of the process demands energy, improvisation, gesture,
expressiveness and directness. The artist must also appreciate
the lushness and sensuality of working with ink.
The size of the plate, and therefore the impression it gives is
180 x 302 mm. The paper size is 250 x 358mm.
