Sometimes I like to simplify my printing and get back to the basics.
I like to:
- simplify my color scheme
- think about division of space – unequal and dynamic
- create a strong range of value from light to dark
You would think by this time all that would come naturally. But no. I often find myself dividing my print right in half or needing some really dark marks.
If you would like to cycle through some the basic of design skills, then join us in Monochromatic Mountains, an online printmaking workshop the next time it is offered.
In this class we will:
- Use the gelatin plate and water based inks
- Mask and shape the design with torn stencils
- Limit the color scheme
- Focus on the dynamic division of space
To create some compelling mountain scapes.
These might be a perfect creative treat for your self in this holiday season. You may even create some lovely prints to frame as gifts.
