Monoprinting with Litho Inks

I have been print making for twenty five years and I am still amazed and surprised by the possibilities of this medium. You do not need experience but you do need to be willing to take chances, let go of control, and enjoy the surprises.

I want to share with you the vast possibilities of monoprinting.
You will learn techniques in viscosity printing with oil based inks creating monoprints and monotype prints. For more info about the printing process click on Printmaking or check out the Art Beat segment above.

Tracing Paper Transfer  

This process requires some drawing on tracing paper with Conte pastel pencils or oil pastels. The drawing can be abstract or non figurative. We will be using oil based inks for this unique process and an etching press.. You will need to come to class with an image you are ready to draw. I will have the tracing paper. With this process you can get  two or three prints from your drawing. This is a great process for those who like to draw and love to print.
