        I loved this ref. and thought it a perfect subject for a dark field monotype
        my reference is here

        I used a brayer to roll out a layer of intaglia ink on a sheet of glass, used a trace monotype method to rough out the outline , (traced the outlines from a copy I made) then removed the excess ink from the light areas with qtips and sponges, leaving the ink where th shadows were
        I used drawing paper for ink, dampened and blotted to lay over the image and burnished it with a cloth and my hands, then pulled the print, I should have removed more ink, but oh well
        this is the pulled print in monotones, after 2 hrs, then I added a hint of color with CPs and a bit of WC

        colored

            Wow this is superb. You have done a brilliant job on this. Your hint of colour is excellent. The skin looks elegant, soft and luminous. A very hard reference and you did it justice.
            Big congrats from my part :thumbsup: :grouphug:

                You captured the mood beautifully here. The monotype worked well with the subject.

                            How very cool. This turned out so well. Kind of moody and mysterious

                                        These are really lovely, Bonnie — a stunning approach to that intriguing ref!

                                        It’s great to learn how you “did it.”
