Printmaking
I have always been attracted to Printmaking. In the past, I took several printmaking classes at the wonderful Armory Center for the Arts (Pasadena, CA) with instructor, Carolyn James. The class included printmaking processes, including chine colle, reductive and additive monotypes, relief printing, drypoint etching, collograph and viscosity prints. In the earlier classes, we used oil based inks but later on started using water-based inks which are so much easier for clean up.

ReplyDeleteThanks so much for replying! Printmaking has nothing to do with watercolor but I thought it would be fun to post some of my attempts.
ReplyDeleteI like these Kittie, fun to take that class.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great class and in the evenings so it's doable. You would probably love it! Thanks for commenting, Libby!
