Explore trace monotype, which allows an artist to work with the specific vocabulary of drawing while making one-of-a-kind prints. Done most effectively on dry Asian paper (sometimes called “rice paper”), trace monotype can stand on its own or it can be used as the beginnings of collages or mixed media works. Trace monotype is portable and invites possibilities for plein air printmaking.
