Branching Monoprints on Mirrors


I almost crapped myself when I figured out how to do this today. The right viscosity of ink pressed between two smooth surfaces that are then pulled apart sometimes creates perfect allover branches. I'm so excited to have the new super power of creating natural-looking branch patterns at will. If I can control this technique it sure will come in handy. These are done on mirrors, scanned in and unedited. My scanner makes mirrors look this dark automatically and I think it looks rad.

How did you do this? Was it with intaglio inks? Can you do it with oil paints?
