Taking a brayer and a piece of palette paper (wax paper or freezer paper on the waxy side would work too) and spreading a dab of black water based oil paint over it.

Make sure your wax paper is a smaller size or exact size of the paper you will be printing onto.
I then had the student create a continuous line drawing of some flowers I had in the studio for another project. Once finished she placed down a piece of clean paper over the waxed paper with ink and then her continuous line drawing and traced all the lines she liked.
When finished she took off her line sketch and pulled up the paper off the oil paint and had a inked line drawing monoprint.

They I gave her a small dab of white water based oil paint and let her paint into the monoprint.
The student loved it.
The other students loved it.
And so a few more asked to do the same thing.
The project was a great study on values as the students were working with white paint on white paper.
In the end, I only managed to capture of few images of the many artworks completed but needless to say there were some very pretty final artworks.

Funny how sometimes lovely and exciting projects happen in the most unexpected ways.
