PHOTOCOPY LITHO MONOPRINT

Fab workshop. Dramatic effects. Cool background for screen printing. Very exciting as you never know what's gonna come out.

Just to remind myself and all of you out there that know what I'm going on about:

B/W image (high contrast, avoid gray)
make a fresh photocopy
prepare dry sponges, sponges soaked in water, gum arabica, veg oil, oil paint, acetate
put g.arabica on acetate, stick photocopy on it, sponge in arabica, spread all over photocopy. wait a minute or two. do another layer of arabica. wait til it dries. Roll over with ink. Only tiny amount of it. Wipe ink off with water sponge. Roll over again. Wipe it off. Put into roller. 2 thicker plates underneath, newsprint, image, paper, newsprint. Voila, the one off masterpiece!

This is what I'm talking about!
