Make Your Own Art

Anyone can make their own 
personalized monoprint.


Using an old piece of glass
or plastic or perspex as a base
and acrylic or watercolour
paint, a rag, a brush and a stick,
draw your design.
It could be a vase 
and some fruit as shown
or any theme you like.
Paint onto the base.
Wipe out areas you don't like.
Scratch into the paint
to have lines and squiggles.
Place a good heavy paper, 
carefully,on top of your work.
press gently all over.
Lift the print off from the top 
carefully.
You may have to experiment with cheap paper a few times before you are happy. If you love it get it framed. YOU are an original.
