Colour and Abstraction

Colour and Abstraction
Tutor: Martyn Brewster
Printmaking course

Course Outline:
Through drawing and monotype printmaking explore the direct relationship between process and mark making. By overlaying layers of colour, abstractions and marks discover both beauty of colour with playfulness of line and surface. Take inspiration from the landscape and environment to create a ‘sense of place’.
There is an opportunity for further exploration of the monotype process with stencils, hand drawing, overlaying and the use of transparent and opaque inks or working towards a series of images.
