I tried some monotypes, then had a go at using photoshop to put a drawing of leaves I had done, in front of my monotype backgrounds.  Well, don't look too carefully as I am only a photoshop learner and some lines in the leaves are missing, but I think the monotype backgrounds made some interesting effects.  On one background I used Gouache and the other, Acrylic paint.  I did lots of practice ones before I chose these two!
