This installment of Monthly Monotype covers watercolor monoprinting. Students may use dish and tube watercolors, or watercolor crayons to develop full color compositions on plastic plates, which we will print onto thick, archival paper using the Museum’s etching press. The gradual buildup of residual watercolor pigment on the surface of the plate after printing creates a surface that allows the artist to rework the image and reprint the plate with a richer, denser, more vibrant result each time. These successive prints are called “states”, and each one is inevitably a little different. Students are recommended to bring an 8 x 10 sketch or photographic image to class, and will use this method to develop two or more versions of their image.
You may wish to bring your own apron and reusable gloves. All other materials will be supplied.
