Monotype has often been considered a painter’s entry point into printmaking. However, monotypes don’t have to be painterly or use a brush at all. Monotype: A Linear Approach explores an alternative methodology to making unique, one-of-a-kind prints: using line, hard edges, transparency, and layered passages of color. Enjoy the visual vocabulary of drawing, printing both by hand and on the press, working intuitively or intentionally, making abstract or representational imagery, to develop a body of works on Asian paper. Demonstrations include ink modification, trace monotype, stencil printing, counter-proofing, ghost printing, flats, and blend rolls. Create complex, engaging works that can stand on their own or initiate collages, mixed media works, and printstallation.
