It is hard to get a pop of teal when monoprinting with orange or any complementary colors. Jean Pitts, known as the Mscscrapper, once recommended adding an additional metallic color on top of a stencil when making Patti Tolley Parrish's patina prints. I took that idea but used complementary colors over a base print.
Here is how I pulled this print:
1. pulled yellow print with bubble wrap texture, set aside to dry.
2. Rolled out teal paint & added stencils, pulled print on different paper to remove paint in stencil...keep stencil in place.
3. Brayered orange paint over the stencil (teal is still underneath) then removed the stencil and replaced with a different stencil pulling a print on the dry yellow base print.
4. Pulled a clean up print using Titan buff
