Another monotype using water-based ink on Rives BFK. I'll explain the process I'm using to make them. First, I take a piece of plexiglass (I will refer to it as a plate) and apply a thin layer of ink to it (just enough to make out the image underneath the plate). Next, I scratch away lines and ares to get subtractive transparent marks. Then, I add more ink onto the plate in areas that I want to be the deepest blacks. This layering of ink generates three levels of tone. Finally, I pull the paper out of a bath of water and put it and the plate through a press.
