Leaf Monoprint Process - Loquat Leaves

Loquat trees have leathery dark green leaves, and produce an edible yellow-orange fruit in the spring.



Look for yellow and green fallen leaves, not the dried and dull brown ones.



Because the leaves are so thick, they tend to print as skeletal outlines on paper, which is a nice contrast to the other leaves.  Here are some loquat monoprints on Fabriano and India watercolor papers.
