What You’ll 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..
