Relief printing is a family of printing methods where a printing block, plate or matrix that has had ink applied to its surface, but not to any recessed areas, is brought into contact with paper. Traditional text printing with movable type is also a relief technique.

Block prints are usually made with oil-based ink.

• Apply the ink to a flat surface, eg an acrylic sheet.
• Work the ink with a roller until it becomes ‘sticky’.
• Roll the ink onto the printing block.
• Use a clean roller or printing press to press the block onto the paper/surface of your final print.

Printmaking paper works best for monoprinting as it has been sized to withstand soaking and the pressure of printing through a printing press. To prepare, take the time to measure out the size of paper you desire for your final print.

Source: What is a monoprint A monotype is essentially ONE of a kind: mono is a Latin word which means ONE and type means kind. Therefore, a monotype is one printed image which does not have any form of matrix. On the other hand, a monoprint has some form of basic matrix.

The standard is to sign the print at the bottom right hand corner below the impression, the edition number on the bottom left hand corner and the title, if any, in the center.

The tratidional way is to sign and number prints at the bottom of the image on the original paper, in pencil. A pencil mark cannot be reproduced by computers, making it less vulerable to fraud. The signature will be on the lower right and the numbering on the left.

Traditionally, the signature is placed in the lower left corner on the front of the work. This is where a collector or buyer will look first for the signature. Some artists incorporate their signature into the painting, hiding it in a bush or tree so it doesn’t interfere with the painting.

Most professional artists do not sign the work on the front of the art, so that the signature does not distract from the content of the work. Make and sign your art in the same medium (except for prints and graphics, which are generally signed in pencil).

Use an image recognition app to identify the painting immediately.

1. The two most popular apps for recognizing artwork are Smartify and Magnus.
2. These apps only have access to paintings that have been well-documented and catalogued by curators, professors, historians, and other artists.
