- QTIP
With his love for doodling and mine in print art,
we went mono printing today.
Mono printing is a printing process, which renders one single image.
Paint was applied to the plexi via his fav. tool - the roller.
Roller, rather than foam brush, is a good way for him to control his strength
and apply light touches so as to achieve smooth texture of paint on.
Sometimes he used a lot of paint which got blotchy
and obscured the drawing once the print was made.
As its important to give him time to master the process and the tool, so we took our time.

He rolled, drew and smoothed the paper gently with both hands from edge to edge.
The way his face lit up,
whenever he lift the paper to discover the transferred image,
like opening a present, was priceless :)
