New Techniques in Hand Printing

Create a series of monotypes and monoprints during this 3-week online course. Bring your drawings and visual ideas.

We will explore the possibilities of working with water-based inks, markers, and crayons. Using a thin Gum Arabic coating on a slightly frosted transparent surface the image can be painted or rolled from light to dark or dark to light. Create exotic reticulating washes, blends, resists, and expressive brush strokes. Often, by staying with the same plate and reactivating the ghost image, amazing second pulls will result. New techniques will be presented that will inform your future prints. Enjoy! This workshop will fulfill beginners to advanced printmakers.
