Layered Figures: Mixed-Media Monoprint, Collage & Stitch Build luminous, character-driven works on paper using a playful but rigorous process that sits between printmaking and painting. We’ll begin with loose monoprints to generate vibrant, textural grounds, then develop off-kilter portraits through transparent ink washes, graphite, and selective collage. Stitching—both functional and decorative—adds line, rhythm, and a quiet sense of history to the surface. Demonstrations emphasize composition, color blocking, economy of line, and how to let “happy accidents” become structure rather than noise. **This Class includes 10 Lessons** You’ll learn Monoprinting methods for quick, layered starts and ghost pulls Strategies for moving from abstract shape to believable figure Mark-making with ink, pencil, and needle (stitch as drawing) Collage integration: adhesives, edges, and translucency Finishing: sealing, flattening, and presentation options Who it’s forCurious beginners through experienced makers looking to refresh their vocabulary. No drawing perfection required—your instinct and experimentation are the point. You’ll leave withA series of studies and at least one resolved piece, plus a repeatable workflow you can adapt to your studio practice.
