Watercolor Monotype Exploration
December 3 and 4, 2011

Discover innovative techniques to create botanical grid compositions with hand transferred watercolor monotype.  Monotype is an expressive additive or subtractive printing method which creates intriguing textured color fusion shapes. Spend each day printing and painting in watercolor exploring wet into wet approaches. We’ll add additional mixed media layers with dry mediums to exaggerate color intensity and build luminous layers to create a unified and harmonious affect. Pigment characteristics, color theory, composition, and design will also be covered with demos, critiques and individual instruction.  This workshop is for all skill levels.
