Description
This monotype workshops will provide an introduction to monotype techniques using water-based inks, without the need for a press.
In the morning, we will explore different ways of applying ink and learn how to create interesting textures using various mark making tools.
We will look at how to create a painterly print rich in atmosphere, how to achieve perspective by applying ink of various transparency and consistency.
In the second half of the workshop, we will work on a monotype using the techniques learnt, each participant will walk away with a finished art piece.
ABOUT MONOTYPE
Monotype is known for its painterly quality where a unique print is achieved. It is a type of printmaking made by drawing or painting on a smooth, non-absorbent surface. The surface was historically a copper plate, but in contemporary work it can vary from zinc or glass to acrylic and Perspex. The image is then transferred onto a paper by pressing the two together, using etching press, brayer or by techniques with which most printmakers started exploring this medium, such as rubbing with the back of a wooden spoon or the fingers.
