Monotype: Omikuji II

Omikuji II, Monotype, Watercolor & Colored Pencil
Sold
Start at the bottom of this post to see the process on this one.
The first monotype pulled from the plate. (I also pulled two very faint ghost prints.)
After a trip through the press, pulling the monotype from the plate.
Close up of wet ink with varied mark-making.
Ink is removed with pastel stomps, rolled & folded paper towels, finger tips, etc.
A copper plate is coated with Black oil-based Daniel Smith etching ink, using a brayer. The drawing was sketched over vellum paper, which is explained here. The meaning of Omikuji is also explained in that post.
