In this course, students will learn how to make their own gelatin plate and explore monoprinting and mixed media artwork. Lucie Duclos, a mixed media artist, will guide students through the process of creating a layered bouquet in a vase with a cool mid-century vibe. Students will learn how to get inspiration from nature and how to create a fantastic prints with a 2 colour palette and how to work with the ghost image from a previous print. They will also learn how to use acrylic gouache paints (or regular acrylics), using masks and subtractive techniques, and then add line work, white paint pen and even watercolor. As a bonus, students will also learn how to do something different with their first print. A materials list and recipe for the gelatin plate can be found in the project and resources section.
