3. Technique Artist Mitch Lyons developed a method to make monoprints/monotypes by adding colored clay slips, not ink, to a slab of wet clay (matrix). The clay slips are mixed with permanent pigments to achieve brilliant colors. Textures and stencils are added. Damp paper is placed over the design and rolled with a wooden rolling pin. The results are incredibly sophisticated. Copyright Adair Heitmann 20133
