Watercolor Monotype with Chine Collé
September 4 – 6, 2020 10am – 4pm

Explore the Sitka grounds at Grass Mountain, discovering patterns in the natural environment and creating sketches that will be the inspiration for a series of Chine Collé papers. Back in the studio, sketches are transferred to Kozo paper with Micron pens and other tools, and drawing guides are created on the back of prepared Plexiglas plates. Next, we paint on the Plexi plates using watercolor paints and pencils, building translucent layers and allowing the plates to dry. Using wheat paste as glue, the painted plate and Chine Collé paper are printed together onto dampened Stonehenge paper with the press.

Sitka Center for Art and Ecology is located just north of Lincoln City on the beautiful Oregon Coast. Call the Sitka office or visit their website for more information and to register.

The Pochoir Monotype Method

POSTPONED – New Date TBA

Whiteaker Printmakers

Monotype printmaking is an immediate and versatile process. The pochoir method, using stencils cut from card stock, is especially spontaneous. Stencils are inked in solid colors and layered face up on an inked Plexiglas plate. This first print is quite graphic with bold shapes and colors. Next the stencils are removed from the plate, turned over and again layered on the ghost ink remaining on the plate. This is when the magic begins – with unpredictable patterns emerging as a result of the layering process. The flipping, layering and reprinting continues – with each new print a bit more subtle than the previous one.
