Make Better Monoprints - Limit Your Colors
Creating Gel Prints using a limited color palette
- create a color chart
- learn how to make a registration board
- create a step-by-step print
- layered monoprint techniques
Create amazing monoprint landscapes. Starting with three paint colors plus black and white, and a commercial gel plate, we'll learn how to mix and record a variety of colors and values. Then we'll use that range of colors to build layers of landscape shapes and texture. We'll follow a step-by-step landscape project, or we can create our own landscape using our mixed color chart as a resource. We'll also learn about creating a registration board, how to square off rounded corners and how to build layers using brushes and sponges.

I’m inspired by the landscape that surrounds me. My art is an expressive interpretation of the shapes, colors, textures, rhythm and patterns of that landscape.
Using a personal approach to color, I build layers of patterns through applications of color and texture.
I use a gelatin plate as a substrate for my monoprints.
I’ve been a working artist for almost 25 years and my work has been featured in juried shows in both Canada and the United States.
Currently, I’m represented by Gallery 87 in Perth, ON and by Dancing Moon Gallery in Westport, ON, Canada.
I'm currently on the design team for GelliArts gel plates.
