first attempts at monotypes

I'm taking Printmaking I this semester, and I'm already really enjoying this method of working. Here's my first attempts at monotypes. (I'm also working on a woodcut relief print, but it's not really noteworthy yet).

Monotypes involve putting ink onto a (plexi)glass plate, so you can move it around, rub it off, scratch into it, and add more ink as you like. Unlike drawing directly on paper with ink, you don't have to deal with that whole "permanent" problem until you're happy with your image and print it onto paper. It's a really fun, spontaneous way of working.
