Mother and Child, Monotype on Paper

 

Another monotype of a face, this time, a female face.  I love the monotype process--so magical, gratifying when it works.  Etching ink of a Lucite plate, moving the ink around, adding Motherhood new colors, removing colors, scratching into the ink and et voilà, a new image.  Some work; some don't.  I like to approach the creation of a monotype much as I approach the creation of an oil painting.  Picasso had little patience for drawing out the etching and monoprint process--he wanted instant gratification.  I understand completely.
