A monotype is a unique print where the image is painted directly onto a smooth flat surface (the plate) and then transferred to another surface (usually paper). The technique suits a spontaneous approach and allows for overlays of transparent colour, sgraffito and impressed textures. The "spontaneity of the monotype process may be misleading, for discipline, knowledge and artistry are prerequisites." (Ricardo Ximenes, master printer at El Cerro Graphics, Los Lunas, New Mexico).
