DAY 1: *Forget about good. Print acrylic monotype backgrounds on Yupo paper.
DAY 2: *Begin anywhere. Make a collagraph master with Bic® pen drawing. Print a series of monoprints on tengucho paper.
DAY 3: *Love your experiments. Combine monoprints and collage materials on Yupo paper backgrounds.
DAY 4: *Process is more important than outcome. Make another collagraph master and transfer image to gelatin plate. Back paint by masking areas and drying between colors. Pull print with Fluid matte medium.
