How to Do Oil-based Monotype with Chine Colle

This video shows how to create an oil-based monotype with chine colle elements such as drawings and rice papers added to the print during the printing process. To add the chine colle elements, dry wheat paste is lightly sprinkled onto the back of the dampened elements. The elements are placed glue side up onto the inked monotype plate. Dampened print paper is placed on top of the monotype plate and run through an etching press.

I use walnut oil which is generally available at grocery stores. I also use transparent base from Daniel Smith to loosen ink and make it more transparent.

I order the dry wheat paste from an art supply company such as Daniel Smith or Dick Blick.

You can try using a premixed wheat paste such as wallpaper paste. Just brush it on the back of the piece to be chine colled onto the print. Be sure that you do not get the paper to be chine colled overly saturated with the wet paste. Good luck.

Pity you don't put more videos out, as this is one of the best. I can't say how many times I've watched it, when I started with chine colle. Thank you very much! Good dynamic music, too!
