Expansive Landscapes | Collagraph Printmaking At Home for Beginners

What You Will Learn?

• Have you tried Printmaking?  Have you thought about it, but felt a bit intimidated?  Fear not!  Printmaking is open to all, and is a super handy area for beginner artists to explore.  .
• Collagraph is a combination of collage and printing, and it’s a printmaking process which can absolutely be achieved at home!.
• I love landscapes, don’t you?  Looking out onto an expansive vista, feeling the world stretching out from where you stand…it’s pretty inspiring.  In creating my first landscape in collagraph, I found I could really invest myself in it.  There is something about the feeling of building a collage - it’s kind of sculptural.  Crafting the landscape, feeling it grow and rise up from nothing under your hands - it takes the view in a completely new direction!.
• Collagraph is one of the most texture-happy printmaking methods - and interpreting landscapes through texture is so interesting!  You can choose to try and replicate textures realistically or you can allow your imagination to expand beyond real-life and bring new textures into the vista.  No matter what you choose, you'll be creating worlds from your own unique viewpoint..
• I hope this class will help you to expand your art practise and explore your landscapes in a new way..
