Description

An introduction to gouache techniques in landscape painting. We will talk about how we see the world around us and what ‘landscape’ means to us.

In this session we will use a photo reference and learn to understand how to use it effectively to create a painting that is full of life and depth.

We will explore how to achieve a compelling atmosphere using this water based medium. The aim of this workshop is to understand how gouache behaves (and misbehaves) and the use of colour in various levels of transparency.

At the end of the workshop students will be able to understand the different methods of application, the transparent and opaque layering process and colour relationships.

​

All levels welcome!

Description

Monotype is known for its painterly quality where a unique print is achieved. It is a type of printmaking made by drawing or painting on a smooth, non-absorbent surface. The surface was historically a copper plate, but in contemporary work it can vary from zinc or glass to acrylic and Perspex. The image is then transferred onto a paper by pressing the two together, using etching press, brayer or by techniques with which most printmakers started exploring this medium, such as rubbing with the back of a wooden spoon or the fingers.

 

In this two-day workshop we will cover an introduction to monotype and some basic

principles, followed by an exploration of some unique techniques that will open up new ways of using this traditional medium.
