Color Monotype with Jorge Vara Hernandez
Class | Available
In this course students will focus on creating color monotypes. Using traditional materials, we will go over preparing a copper plate for printing, additive and subtractive monotype techniques, mark making and color theory including temperature, value, harmony and dissonance, as well as color layering, plate registration, ink modifications, and ink substitutions. All levels are welcome.
