Monotype by Tyler Green
This weekend workshop will explore methods of printing with watercolors and other water-soluble materials. Students will be introduced to various techniques including preparing a matrix, planning an image, applying and removing watercolor in a strategic manner, and printing with a press. Stencils and layering will also be explored to give prints more depth. Watercolor monoprints are accessible, fun, and a great way to create prints full of color and complexity. As a bonus, the materials used are all nontoxic. This two-day workshop will give participants the time to fully immerse themselves in the techniques introduced. All materials are included with class fee.
