Monoprint: A monoprint is often thought of as a halfway stage between painting and printmaking.
The process is simple:
The artist paints, rubs, or wipes the design directly onto a plate, using a fairly slow drying paint or ink. The fleeting image must be printed before the ink dries.
Printing may be done by press or by hand.
Monoprint is a term used to refer to any print made in one version and incapable of being repeated.
The process of monoprinting allows the artist an unusual freedom and spontaneity.

Try landscapes, but make them sophisticated.
Try some abstract prints.
And try some prints that cover the entire
surface with ink/paint. Use tools
(other than just paint brushes) to make
marks.
Hang or tape them up to dry.
Always put your initials on the back.
