This workshop explores the possibilities of mixing the flow of watercolor with the structure and rhythm of block printing. The first part of the day we will experiment with different watercolor techniques to create exciting backgrounds and atmospheres. The second half will focus on creating interesting shapes in linoleum and carving texture, and then layer print on top of our paintings with water based mediums. There will be demonstration, but more emphasis on hands on, experiential learning. All skill levels welcome! Material Fee includes: Linoleum, watercolor paper, other tools and materials, but students are encouraged to bring brushes if they have favorites.
