Rona Green and a fantastic ‘Introduction to Monotype’ class

I was very fortunate to attend a workshop run by Rona Green last weekend. It was a one day ‘Introduction to Monotype’ class. Having attended many print making classes over the last few years, I think this was one of the best I have ever attended, in terms of structured approach, materials and hands on tuition.

The monotype approach produces a wonderful soft image, whether based on watercolor or oil paint, run through a press or hand burnished. It provides a great opportunity to merge painting and print making practices.

Some of my results are shown below:
