Hey there! Today we are doing a quick and easy monotype printmaking technique - often called Trace Monotype, because you can trace drawings as well as freehand draw them. You only need a few bits and bobs to get started, and you can have a play!
I love printmaking, but I think sometimes, beginners can get turned off of it because of all the complicated terms. Let me know your thoughts in the comments! I want to encourage you to think that printmaking is achievable - whatever level you are at! You are never too green to start.
