I have mentioned before that I’m helping out as a volunteer, at my granddaughter’s school, in the art classes. Today, some of volunteers met and we made some mono prints, using styrofoam and a dull pencil to make our image.
This is the original styrofoam image with the ink residue.
The original ink print
Altered colors done in Photoshop Express and placed in Procreate with some added background textures.
wow!!! did you cut out/create that styrofoam?

Hi Jodi, thank you. I drew right on the styrofoam with pencil and the indents made the negative space. You can use the foam that is packaged with meat or some vegetables.
