Monotype and Mixed Media with Bridget Murphy

Explore using various media (printmaking collage painting) to create your monotype artwork. In this class we will discuss the principles and elements of design composition and combining drawing texture and color to create a monotype of an image using lines and plexiglass collage and oil painting. Students will learn to transfer an image to paper add collage materials to enhance the image and paint into the image to create final one-of-a-kind pieces of artwork.

On the first day of class, students are expected to bring their sketchbook and multiple inspirational images (landscape still life portrait abstract photograph etc.) to review for their first mixed media piece. Artwork should be sized to 8x10 or 4x5 on paper; colored images are preferred but not critical. Students will be expected to work on their own during the course. By the end of this class, students will have basic knowledge of how to create a monotype and add mixed media and color to a print. No experience is necessary.
