The monotype printmaking processes is the most painterly methods among the printmaking techniques, and are essentially printed paintings. 
The characteristic of this method is that no two prints are alike; although images can be similar, editions are not possible. Hence they are often marked 1/1.
The appeal for me lies in the potential to produce a unique translucency that creates a quality of light very different from a painting on paper, and the beauty of this media is also in its spontaneity and its combination of printmaking, painting and drawing mediums. 
I love to experiment with different techniques – for me it’s how I learn about printmaking in all its varied forms, and allows me to bring a more creative and playful approach to making art.
