MONOTYPES FOR A PAINTERLY PRINT – with Corrine Loomis Dietz
 
Date Sunday – October 14, 2012
 
Time: 10:00am to 2:00pm
 
High School and Adult Students
 
Exuberance and Energy describe this workshop as you learn tips and techniques to create a “one of a kind” image, combining painting, drawing and PRINTMAKING on Plexi plate, simple tools and a gorgeous selection of Golden OPEN acrylics.  Ideal for mono type, this archival paint stays wet for hours offering a fun and relaxed experience with easy water clean up.  Our first investigation involves the “Subtractive” process.  We use a soft rubber brayer to coat a plexi plate with color and proceed to “subtract” paint by drawing, blotting & wiping away.  Each Paint will be hand-rubbed and pulled from the plate to reveal strokes and textures that are unlike anything you can do with a brush.
 
We will also explore additive techniques, registering the paper, and building many layers of color on the paper to develop more complex visual investigations.  These techniques can easily be repeated in simple work spaces and this process does not require a press!  This is a fun and exciting way to generate works on paper with a richness and diversity unlike any other method.  All paints and mediums are provided by GOLDEN.
 
Materials List: 2 sheets of Masa, Rives BFK, Stonehenge, Somerset Velvet or other  printmakeing paper.  An old hand towel and several 8 ½ x 11 photocopies of images you would like to work with.,
