In this episode of Tune In Tuesday, we'll explore 3 ways to create leaf monoprints without a gel plate. We'll use different types of paper and inks to create stunning patterns with both real and skeleton leaves, highlighting their unique textures. I will also mix a limited palette of primary colors in order to create a series of collage papers that all harmonize together when used in a collage. Whether using paint or ink, the result is beautiful artwork embodied with nature's details, perfect for enhancing any creative project.
