Suminagashi: Japanese Marbling Technique (MM-1) | IN PERSON WORKSHOP

Suminagashi is an ancient Japanese printmaking technique where sumi ink is floated on water. Varied marbling patterns occur as the ink is carefully manipulated on the surface of the water and then printed directly onto small sheets of paper. The technique is subtle, and a degree of patience is required, but is suitable for anyone interested in paper crafts, printmaking, collage, and experimental ink mark-making. During the workshop, the marbled papers, once dry, are cut to size to make a couple of small projects, such as handmade greeting cards or a cover for a bound sketchbook using Japanese 4 hole stab binding. All techniques are demonstrated and notes provided for future reference.

Landscape: Mixed Media Monotype (MM-4) | IN PERSON WORKSHOP

Studio 3


Monotype is a spontaneous printmaking method where a painting is made using a brayer and brushes onto a sheet of acrylic, the image is then transferred onto a sheet of paper. In this class a singular print is made by hand without using a printing press. The advantages of working in mixed media monotype are numerous but includes producing multiple images quickly to facilitate experimental textural mark-making and opportunities to increase confidence in color mixing and application. Different mediums and approaches incorporate block printing inks, tube watercolor paints, soft pastels and a variety of experimental tools such as bamboo skewer, cut erasers and card to create a series of landscape inspired compositions that employ both drawing and painting techniques. Demonstrations and examples of artists’ approaches to monotype will be discussed throughout. Starting with reference photograph/s of landscape we will explore line, form, value, color and texture to express atmosphere, weather conditions and physical landscape forms that can appear both abstract and representational. This workshop is suitable both for beginners and for more experienced practitioners who wish to expand on their approach to water-based painting.

Painting from observation and painting from a reference photograph are two distinct approaches in the realm of visual art, each with its own set of advantages and challenges. When utilizing photographs, the student can find flexibility and convenience, especially when the subject is not readily available or practical to paint in real-time. In this class we will work toward developing your inspiration photos into paintings that maintain excitement without running into external factors such as shifting light conditions, weather, or the movement of the subject. This class is open to both oil and acrylic painters.
