Fall inspired mono-prints Gnarly Maple and Maple Crunch are on display now at the Center for Contemporary Printmaking’s Monothon Auction 2021.
These prints look a lot like watercolor paintings because essentially that’s what they are underneath it all! The gum arabic printing process is created by using a matrix coated in gum arabic solution, then marks ie watercolor painting is moved onto paper. The end result is a print of the watercolor painting, however the original painting is no longer available on the matrix because it now on the paper, thus making it a mono print, or one singular print.
