ABOUT THIS COURSE:

Explore the painterly qualities of two printmaking processes: Silk Aquatint and Monotype. Artist Julio Valdez will guide participants through the unique textural possibilities of one of his signature techniques, Silk Aquatint, then combine those prints with Monotypes for deep layering and creative results. This class will be using low-toxicity Akua Kolor and Akua Intaglio water-based soy inks for a mostly non-toxic printmaking experience.

Key Terms:
Silk Aquatint is a non-acid method of producing a variety of tones and textures similar to those created with traditional acidic Aquatint printmaking. The artist’s image is rendered by painting with a whitened acrylic medium on a black silk surface backed with plastic.
Monotype is an infinitely variable form of printmaking that produces a single (mono) unique print. Artists apply thin layers of ink to a plexiglass plate, manipulate it in different ways, and run it through the press to obtain one true impression on paper.

Suitable for all levels, no experience necessary! Ages 19+

ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP:

Monotype and Monoprint are creative processes that can be most wonderfully adventurous, liberating and an invitation for an artist to ‘free’ themselves from expectations, blocks and thoughts of uncertainty. Participants, whether they be realistically or abstractly oriented will be motivated by the great outdoors of the Catskill’s landscape where we will caravan to a site and create on location.

Dan Welden’s “Walkabout” exercise with the true “spirit of printmaking” using the Solarplate will allow each artist to do multiple ‘monoprints’ opening the doorway to the novice as well as the experienced artist.

Experience finalizing the images with Swiss Caran d’ Ache crayons in combination with layering of multiple inks. Once the composition has been created, an impression is made from it in full color!

Various tools, brushes, crayons, inks, and erasing techniques are used to create one of a kind unique effects.The squashed painting could be spontaneous, emotional and filled with vibrancy or, planned, analytical, and beaming with structure. Morning instructions and demonstrations will be followed by afternoon hands on as well as witnessing Dan at work.

Best suited for adventurous artists with printmaking experience. Ages 18+
