A former colleague of my husband's has taught Printmaking at the Birmingham Bloomfield Art Center for many years. I always told her that I would take the class once I was not longer working. Since that has occurred I signed up for her Introduction to Printmaking. The first class was on Friday and we are covering Monotypes for the first two weeks. The following were my first attempts.
- A reduction technique where you paint the ink on a plate then scrape off. The second image is called a ghost image and is taken as a second run with the remaining ink.
I was much happier with the second set where you inked the plate then added supplemental items to the plate.
