Quick low budget monoprint technique using foil and oil paint

Don't discard old crisp packets ! Experiment with foil and oil paint. Haven't used this so thought it would be interesting to see the variations of marks that can be achieved. Dan Tirels Monoprinting techniques with foil. The foil you see me using in this demo is actually plastic, but often referred to as foil so it is a bit confusing.

Materials : Foil (metallised plastic film) 200gsm smooth card Scrap card for template frame 5" × 7" Masking tape Black oil paint. Rags or soft sponge Pallet knife (plastic) Method : Because this foil plastic is thicker than the type of plastic that I have used in previous demos it can be a bit more versatile, you can achieve some interesting marks and it is a lot tougher so can take more pressure without damaging the transfer sheet, when finished just wipe clean with a rag and it's all ready to use again. This is great for achieving softer tones and adding depth to the monoprint and you can combine this with the thinner plastic to get the fine line details.
