How to create Paul Klee inspired mono-prints from recycled materials

How to create 12 Paul Klee inspired mono-prints with recycled materials STUDIO BLOG https://www.dantirels.co.uk/dantirels This is a great way to make use of all those Christmas boxes that cannot be recycled. The previous Paul Klee demos have proved popular and so I thought it would be good to show how you can try this technique for yourself. I use a box with a cellophane front for this demo, using the card to make a frame mask and the plastic to make a mono-printing transfer sheet (this is reusable) Mono-printing kits are now available from the website https://www.dantirels.co.uk/shop/monoprinting-kit-9gk48 Mono-Printing e-booklet is available from the website https://www.dantirels.co.uk/shop/monoprinting-basic-techniques-ebook Printed version of the Mono-Printing booklet available (limited copies) https://www.dantirels.co.uk/shop/monoprinting-booklet-1 Watch the time lapse version now. https://youtu.be/77kPysR7sd0 Materials Waste box with cellophane (for frame and transfer sheet) Oil Paint (black) 250gsm paper or card Acrylic paint (colours of your choice) For drawing and transferring the design you can use a cocktail stick or blunt pencil, use your fingers to create softer effects and apply light pressure to transfer the paint from the plastic sheet onto the paper surface.
