Mono Printing with Acrylic Ink - Andy Warhol's blotted Line Technique

Description

In this workshop, you will be learning the art of blotted line mono printing, which was frequently used by Andy Warhol for his commercial work in the 1950s. 

Mono printing is a form of printmaking that has lines or images that can only be made once, unlike most printmaking, where there are multiple originals.

The blotted line technique combines drawing or tracing and printing and is suitable for beginners and experienced artists alike. 

What I really love about the blotted line technique is the fact that it allows people who think they can't draw or are very new to drawing to create a beautiful ink drawing.

Although this technique involves the tracing of a source image, due to the student's very individual way of holding the pen and tracing the image, the finished print will be unique to them. You will be able to distinguish the different styles of different students.

This class is therefore suitable for complete beginners, you don't need to be able to draw! 

All materials will be provided!

On the day, I will also be having some kits available for you to purchase, in case you'd like to practice your new skill at home.
