A monoprint is a single impression of an image made from a reprintable block. Materials such as metal plates, litho stones or wood blocks are used for etching upon. Rather than printing multiple copies of a single image, only one impression may be produced, either by painting or making a collage on the block.
The appeal of the monoprint lies in the unique translucency that creates a quality of light very different from a painting on paper or a print. And the beauty of this medium is also in its spontaneity and its combination of printmaking, painting and drawing.
