Print from home with simple art materials. This video will teach you how to make a vibrant, multi-layered print using common household art supplies. This type of monoprinting is fun and easy. See below for a full list of supplies.
Supplies for Watercolor from home:
- Drawing (to scale)
- Printmaking paper (Mulberry was used in this video, any smooth paper that
can handle wet media can work)
- Paint (Watercolors, guache, tempera, acrylic, oil, printmaking ink and more
will work for this method)
- Brushes
- Cup of water
- Plexiglas plate (Mylar, glass, or anything transparent and non absorbant)
- Wooden spatula (Spoon, barren, your hands, or anything to help put down
pressure without tearing your printing paper)
- Tape (Masking tape and painters tape is ideal)
- Rag (An old tshirt can work for this)
- Newsprint (Other smooth paper can also work)

I've seen watercolor monoprints where the wc was applied to a sanded plexi plate that had been coated with dish soap to help activate the paint during printing. In that tutorial, the paint was allowed to dry on the plate, then soaked and blotted printing paper was placed over the plate. Next, another sheet of paper was placed over the damp paper before the back of the paper was rubbed to transfer the image. That technique had a different effect than the effect you achieved. Thanks for posting your technique.

Yes, we have done that often in our classroom studio! Such a fun technique. This variation was to make it easier to print at home with watercolors.
