Monotypes are paintings on smooth acrylic plates transferred to paper once only using a manual press.  Each unique impression unites the spontaneity of painting with the radiant qualities of ink imbedded in the fibers of 250-gram paper. Monotypes reveal and inform, narrating a beginning, middle and end of a personal narrative.

Explore experimental and contemporary monotype techniques in a peaceful forest studio using spontaneous painting and drawing approaches and modified oil base inks. The possibilities are endless and provocative. Glistening layers of radiant ink create truly unique images with depth, mystery, memory and intrigue. Brayer painting, digital transfer imagery, and direct drawing monotype will be explored, as well as quirks and oddities in nature and layered found flat objects. Daily critiques. Bring resource images or sketches to class. Bring a lunch. Intermediate to advanced students welcome.
