Ron Pokrasso covers a wide range of techniques in the monotype process and continues with chine collé/collage, drawing, and Solarplate intaglio. Working with Akua products the workshop focuses on the integration of multiple plates and numerous techniques to create richly layered compositions. Rather than trying to compose on just one surface you will learn how to think in layers where many options become available in one or more impressions. While a monotype plate is in progress you may decide to incorporate a background plate and perhaps a collage element or a Solarplate image. By having numerous surfaces to work from your options become endless and the mixing and matching of imagery has the potential to move you into very exciting new directions.
Participants of all levels of experience will be encouraged to embrace the notion of the "artist as an inventor,” with an open-ended approach leading to limitless opportunities. All inks, in studio supplies, one 8x10 Solarplate and 5 sheets of Arches 88 paper are included (additional Solarplates and paper are available for purchase). A suggested materials list will be sent as it gets closer.
With numerous demonstrations, the interspersing of art making philosophies, extended open studio time and highly recommended day trips this program is an intensive, information packed, enriching experience.
