Hey there!  Let's jump back into Reductive Monotype Printmaking - this time having a bit of creative play time, trying out some different ways of removing the ink and seeing what happens.

Also, I forgot to say in the video - I am using standard computer printer paper to print on here, around 100gsm.  I have found it works quite well, but if you have other types of paper, just give them a go!
