Watercolor Monotype of Aphrodite Removing a Thorn from her Foot (after a Greek statue c. 300 BCE)

NFS
This very small image is one of my favorite

things. It is a watercolor monotype.

There are several ways of making these. This

one was made by taking a piece of frosted Mylar,

and adhering it with some Studio-Tac to a thin

acetate printing plate.

Then I created the image with a combination of

water-soluble Caran d'Ache crayons, and Prang

watercolors.

Notice that there is a red line drawn around the

image. This is to create a barrier that will keep

any paint from oozing out into the margins

of the printing paper and spoiling the image.

This image is just about 10% larger than it

is in real life.
