The past week I‘ve been exploring working in pastel over monotypes. I was initially inspired by works by Degas that were done in this fashion. The process involves first making a monotype by painting with etching ink on a plate, and then printing one impression on an etching press.

When the print is dry, I draw on top of the monotype with pastel to create the one of a kind finished work on paper. I’m excited by the results I’m getting!
Let me know what you think.
