Description
Catnaps (SOLD)
50 x 65 cm
The best spot in the house and a favourite place to chill for both my felines. They make good models but they would be even better if they sat still more!
This is 1 out of 2 monoprints of the same design. This one being the second print also called a ghost print. I added more paint and medium to the remaining ghost print on the plate before pressing the second time. I don’t know if that’s allowed/correct? The first one is a bit darker and sharper, but I like this one better. What do you think?

WHAT IS A MONOTYPE?
For those who do not know what a monotype is: it is a hand made painting on a smooth plate (like glass, metal, plastic etc) which is transferred to either a paper or canvas. The paper (I use paper) is placed on top of the painting and pressed to transfer an impression. In a monotype there are no repeating elements such as: a matrix, stamp, etching or stencil etc. Therefore although called a 'print' it is neither a digital print nor a traditional editioned print. There are no editions. Just one painting. Possible a couple fainter impression, should there be any ink left over after the first transfer (sometimes there is none left). These are called ghost prints and although they have the same design they are completely different. Just like a painting, you get a unique, one of a kind art. To make the same design again, it will have to painted again from scratch on a clean plate.
(The editioned hand prints include linoleum cuts, etchings, screen prints, litho prints etc.)
