Artful Printmaking with Paula Fontana
Class Description - Discover simple techniques and tools to easily create beautiful monotype prints using gel plates.
Set aside the digital devices and immerse yourself in a hands-on art-making experience that promotes mindfulness, keeps you grounded in the present moment, and releases tension.
Learn the art of printmaking in a way that’s approachable in your own home or small studio. This class is designed for artists of all ages who are passionate about experimenting and sharing ideas. No prior experience is needed.
Through demonstration, discussion, and guided projects, we’ll explore monotype printmaking using primarily acrylic paint and a gel plate. Monotype printing is a technique that involves applying paint to a smooth surface, such as a gel plate, and then transferring the image to paper by hand. Monotypes are celebrated for their unique textural qualities and often have a painterly effect. While this class will focus on abstract and landscape pieces, the technique is also ideal for those interested in creating materials for collage, scrapbooking, or other mixed media art forms.
Expand and refine your skills.
This art-making technique is fun and can be fast-paced. New and intermediate students will gain confidence and enjoy the immediate gratification of seeing results without the pressure of being a master drawer or painter, while experienced artists will reinforce their skills and discover new inspiration through layering color, shape, and texture to create fresh compositions.
Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned artist, explore abstract, landscape, and botanical designs in a fresh, new way. Join me for a one-day workshop at the newly renovated Old School Square Creative Arts School in Delray Beach, and discover how to confidently craft unique, one-of-a-kind prints.
