The art of printmaking includes a myriad of methods. Intaglio, relief, collagraph, and lithograph are a few. This monoprint workshop celebrates the painterly method, and the possibilities are endless! Students will paint on acrylic or gel plates with several kinds of water-based inks, each with its own “personality.” After students have created a collection of prints on fine archival paper, they will have the opportunity to enhance their work with an application of clear gesso (marble dust with acrylic medium), which gives a “tooth” to the surface of the print yet allows the color to show through. This sandy surface is perfect for additions of soft pastel to enhance the print. Students will work from their own photographs or their imaginations. They will also be able to experiment with letting the tools (rollers, combs, scrapers, stencils) build the print. Maximum of 6 students.
