This is the challenge I sent for KCUK this month – printing with acrylic blocks – otherwise known as mono printing. There are so many possibilities for this technique and I hope to play with them as soon as I’ve finished work for the week, but for now, here are a few simple samples.
For these I just used felt tip pens in two different colours, then spritzed them with water and printed onto white card.
I really like the patchy look I got with these.

I didnt realise there was a proper name for this....Ive been doing this with Promarkers/Copics on glossy paper for a while.
A wonderful set of cards
These are brilliant cards Cath. And I love the idea of using acrylic blocks to make art with. It has never occurred to me. I especially love the blue cards. The watercolour styled abstract shapes are simply wonderful especially with the black silhouettes in the foreground. Once again, I'm in awe of your creative talents. Px
These look really effective, would love to know who you did it.
Don't work too hard!!
