Here’s a seven minute video for you showing how I make my landscape monoprints. If you want some hands on experience, I’m offering a monoprinting studio class on Oct. 20 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.. Email for more info: bob@bobpennycook.com
Late last year I felt I needed a change to my daily routine. I spend as many days in the studio each week as I can, painting. But I wanted to create a different approach to my art his year.
I’ve been creating monotypes/monoprints for several years now as a hobby, I guess. Whenever I’m not painting and I feel I need a break, I’ll produce a print or two.
But for this year, at least for the first half of the year, the emphasis will be on printmaking, particularly monoprinting. I want to see how far I can take it. I want to create mixed media art with prints, paint and pencils….just to see what happens.
The image above is a recent small print. It’s 6×6″. I did this print specifically for the video below simply to show process. It’s a quick, three-minute video Have a look. Hope you enjoy.
New Classes:
There are a couple of new spring studio classed listed under “Workshop/classes” page above.
New Prints:
I’ve also added some new prints to the “portfolio: prints” page above.
Spent the weekend teaching over 20 members of the Belleville Art Association how I paint what I paint…like this one:
We used a variety of acrylic mediums and built paintings from loose colour applications to final, resolved, creative images with the addition of graphite, charcoal, collage, stamps, stencils and photo transfers.
