In the first part of the workshop Anastasia will do a short introduction to concepts of mono print and monotype followed by a demo on 3 examples:
1. How to create patterns on your plate to then transfer to your paper by rolling one or two colours onto a plate.
2. How to use a mixture of watercolours and soap to paint an abstract or a landscape and then print an image on to paper.
3. How to do a two step mono print with a stencil. (Stencils can be flat found objects, like leaves and flowers)
After the demo, participants will choose a technique and create their own image!
