This two-day workshop will cover an introduction to monotype and some basic principles, followed by an exploration of some unique techniques that will open up new ways of using this traditional medium.
DAY 1:
We will talk about how we see the world around us and what ‘landscape’ means to us.
We will explore different ways of applying ink and learn how to create interesting textures using various mark making tools.
We will learn how to create a painterly print rich in atmosphere, how to achieve perspective by applying ink of various transparency and consistency.
DAY 2:
We will look at a limited colour palette and explore the subtleties of tonal work.
We will experiment with different types of printmaking paper and learn how to use its unique qualities to create the desired effect.
In the second half of Day 2 will work on a monotype using the techniques learnt, each participant will walk away with a finished art piece.
