This class is ideal for artists who love to draw and paint. As an introduction to printmaking, we will focus on monotype - a basic technique incorporating draftsmanship and direct painting with printmaking. Come experiment with colors, textures and materials. Learn to use an etching press, oil based inks and various tools to create one of a kind prints. This class is specifically designed for painters looking to expand their sense of color, gain understanding by working in layers and evolve their images to a higher level. Recommended for all levels of experience, including beginners.
