Click image for full-size view | The terms monotype or monoprint are often used interchangeably and are confusing. The definition that I think best describes the end-product is "both (the monotype and monoprint–meaning one) are non-editionable printed paintings."
Traditionally, with the monotype, there are no common elements between the "prints" produced, whereas, with a monoprint, you may have an element (a line, symbol, etc.) etched into the plate that remains common with every print pulled, even though the rest of the image is entirely different.
A monoprint or monotype may be run through the press multiple times to build an layered image–in the end, producing a single image. Once the print is dry, the artist may also choose to embellish or paint on the print.
I print primarily with a water soluable oil paint and then embellishes the final print with pastels, pencil and/or additional layers of oils. | |
