Intro to Monotype Printmaking

Images Forthcoming!

Not quite painting not quite print. The monotype process allows artists to work directly on the press in an incredibly creative manner. This class will cover working with watercolors and oil-based inks. We will address both dark-field or reductive monotypes and light-field or additive monotypes along with “ghost prints”. Over the course of the day-long class students will make a number of prints working with different materials and papers.
