description: "Brown Robe" is a mono print on acid free archival paper. This is one of my favorite techniques. The result is wonderful, and don't worry about the term "print" there is only one.
This print process is exciting. I have a wonderful press in my lower studio. I paint the image directly in oil on a plate. The paper is an acid free, archival, 100% cotton; this paper is soaked in water prior to printing.
After the paper has soaked in water the paper is wiped down to remore the excess water. The plate with the oil image to be printed with the damp paper is run through the press. The image (the oil paint) is transferred to the paper and a plate impression is left, that impression can be covered by the mat.
The result is exciting and spontaneous.
I love it. "Brown Robe" is matted, but not framed. Framing possibilities are limitless. The image size exposed through the mat is 8" x 6". The overall mat size is 16" x 14".
I attached a couple other monoprints that have sold for your viewing
