This week is all about reduction techniques. With the trace monotypes we transferred ink to paper at the same time we were removing it from the plate. The reduction process involves removing ink from the plate prior to transferring it. This technique allows for a larger variety of mark making techniques. More expressive and fluid as well as more controlled range of value can be achieved via an infinite number of tools and materials.
Cool video that shows trace monotype (positive and negative) and reductive monotype. Ignore the last part about the acetone transfer. There is a better way that will be demoed later:
