Monotyping is a unique printmaking technique that produces a single, one-of-a-kind image on paper. Unlike other printmaking methods, which can create multiple copies of the same design, monotypes involve painting or inking a surface and then transferring that image to paper through pressure, resulting in an original print that cannot be replicated exactly. This technique emphasizes spontaneity and allows artists to incorporate elements of painting and drawing into their prints.
