Wonderful effects that illuminate your painting Bobbie.

Very creative!

Thank you all for your kind comments. I really enjoyed working on these! Monoprinting is very unpredictable, so I began with about 8 different black prints on different types of paper. I binned 3, and experimented with different colouring media on the other 5. The 3 I've posted in the gallery are my 3 favourites. I know chalk pastels work because I learned this technique at a mixed media workshop about 5 years ago. They are dry and don't affect the original marks made with the water soluble printing ink, but you do need to fix them afterwards. I also tried oil pastels (which were a bit too harsh) and watercolour pens (which was interesting) as well as re-wetting and moving the ink around.
