Planned in conjunction with our Fall Still Life exhibition, this two weekend workshop will delve into the benefits of working observationally from individually constructed still life setups in order to hone participants’ mastery of monotype printmaking techniques. This class will explore color theory, additive and reductive mark making, grisaille and “glazing” techniques as they apply to monotype, and the composition and construction of engaging still life images. Working from life, a time honored tradition practiced in drawing schools around the world, helps push us to solve new problems and train our hands, while printmaking adds a new dimension of layering to explore and learn from.
