Printmaking Without a Press: the Versatility of Monoprinting

Printmaking is a fun approach to creating unexpected and intriguing impressions. A monoprint is a form of printmaking where an image is made from a plate coated with ink. There are many kinds of printmaking techniques and in this workshop we will focus on collagraph and relief printmaking. 

Acrylic Afternoons | June 6th – July 11th | 2-4pm 

All Levels Welcome

Sign up for this popular class and join a relaxing atmosphere where all skill levels are welcome! Learn or "brush"-up on the basic techniques of acrylic painting. Students will have the opportunity to create a complete piece of artwork each class with the step by step guidance of the instructor.  The class will paint from photos of Ocean Grove’s landscapes, seascapes, and nature.    

The course will cover proportion, composition, color mixing, blending, brush techniques, and provide painters with practical tips and tricks.
