In this workshop, we will explore monotype, a printmaking technique combining the directness of painting and drawing with the surprising effects of printed ink on paper. Looking at the painting process found in Henry Matisse’s Woman Seated at the Piano (Femme assise devant son piano) and the loose paint application of Sam Doyle’s John Chisolem St. Helena—First Embalmer, we will explore the expressive potential of this medium.

In this workshop, we will focus on technical and material properties of paint as it interacts with different mediums and surfaces. This workshop will begin with a short visit to Giants: Art from the Dean Collection of Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys to investigate Esther Mahlangu’s abstract paintings, paying close attention to materials and technique.
