Monotypes are a free, quick and direct method of making prints. These painterly prints can easily be done at home. You will create many images while learning these simple processes. Monotypes can be completed as a finished print, enhanced with drawing or form the basis for collage. Throughout this class, we will use their unique mark-making qualities to design and compose while working to develop a series of related images. The classes will include both demos and finished pieces, as well as time for feedback from the instructor and fellow students.
