This versatile process requires no press and uses water-soluble inks, such as water-based block printing or monotype inks, and paints such as gouache, tempera and watercolor.

The flexible surface is first inked, then textural objects are lightly impressed and removed leaving a highly detailed design. A wide variety of fabrics, botanicals and found objects are available for experimentations on several types of papers.
