I love this piece! It's hard to believe it is a monotype. I've recently been working with this, and I can't seem to produce anything at all. Unfortunately I rush a lot of the work I do and don't really believe in patience. Also, I don't really understand the process to get things like you have here. Any tips?

Try working with a sheet of opaque white plexi. Use oil based etching inks and turpentine. start with laying out a neutral value and build your forms from there. reductive techniques to create highlights and add the darks. Experiment with different tools such as pencil tips, rags, razor blades. Be patient.

This is also amazing! I love the soft shades and colour variations. Too bad that you don't have an exhibition in Europe! It would be great to see those monotypes as original. I'm sure I could learn a lot from them.

Your works are truly amazing, im on serious impression. Those pieces makes me inspired, really, youre a pure artist . That's obvious that after long experience that technique is much easier that i'm thinking right now. But there's something misterious and magical in this, cuz , maybe it's not for you, every single piece is something i couldn't expect. sorry for my bad english
and, a small question, do you do your monotypes like at one "sesssion" or you working at one piece for few times?

Thank you for your response. Your english isn't so bad. I work on series of images over the course of days and sometimes weeks.

Amazing effect.
I guess it was a bit hard to do this, especially that monotype is a very random(?) technique

Thanks. I've been working in this medium for years and I rely on the serendipidous and "accidental" nature of the process .

I prefer this one. Both are very beautiful, but I like the clearer shape of the woman's head in this version. The dashes of red in both pictures are just sublime. Great work.
