An intriguing hybrid among printmaking techniques, monoprints are neither a print nor a painting, but a unique combination of both. It is one image (mono) painted with oil-based or water-based inks onto any surface that will transfer the image onto paper.
To make a monoprint we need a plexiglass and some ink.
One you have a plate just paint directly on it with any kind of brush, depending on the effect you want, you can use a variety of tools for painting the image.
when we finished to cover the plate with the ink, we just put on the top a plain paper and used some images of London, tracing them on the top of the paper.

Below there are other sample of my monoprint workshop, definitely I'll try t do some more on my free time, it's a really easy technique to do. Using different colours and brush you could archieve rally great effects.
This is a failed monoprint.. you can't even see what it is
