In the best of moments the creative process is largely a right-brain activity. The concept of being “in the zone” is a place where action simply happens. Oddly though this intense focus seems to vanish as soon as I notice it. In this short online webinar hosted by Eddie Soloway I will offer some ideas about how to be prepared and stay focused to move through the barriers that our left brains throw up.
Similar to using white paint in a painting, a veil can be used in printmaking with great flexibility to soften or eliminate information. There are a number of ways to use textures in a monotype composition. This demo will show you the advantages to using one method rather than another.
Contact, Transfer or Trace monotype all refer to the same process of creating printed marks on paper. It’s a great way to make a graphic mark with a printerly feel. There’s lots of ways to approach this and no press is necessary.
Integrating thin papers and other collage elements with monotype has the potential of raising your compositions to a new level. You will learn about the differences between chine colle’ and collage, the various adhesives, and how to approach the relationship between an ongoing monotype composition and the collage elements you have to work with.
Monotype is simple to do but extremely rewarding to do well. This 3 hour zoom presentation is open to all levels of experience whether you own a press, have a hand printing station or simply want to learn some techniques.
When preparing to make an ImagOn or Solarplate or some other photopolymer plate from a digital image the most important step is the creation of a good transparency. In this demo you will learn the various steps to adjust your image for optimal results.
