During that time, I decided to take some classes and
workshops at the local art center; the Pullen Art Center. I have taken a monotype workshop there
before (see my post of Saturday, June 18, 2011). I took two six
weeks classes and one weekend workshop.
I took a printmaking class, a drawing class and a portrait drawing
workshop. It was a lot of fun and I
learned a lot of new drawing techniques s and new printmaking processes.
To say the least; this was a great way for me to get back to what is most important, the joy of creating.
Below I have included pictures of the art work I have
created with explanation of the techniques used.
Let me know what you think!Printmaking class

Monotype print: I free painted this landscape on plexiglass and printed it on paper using a press Drypoint printing: lines are scratches on a plate (plexiglass) and the plate in inked and ran through the press and voila! I love this image. :)   Collagraph: I build a plate with yarn and cardboard, inked it and ran it through the press and got those two prints 
I used yarn to built a plate and ink it twice with those two colors to get this print
The plate is first inked and positioned on press, the paper to be collaged is glued on back and placed glue side up onto the plate; the paper is placed over the plate and run through the press (http://www.nontoxic-printmaking.co.nz/printmaking%20techniques.html)
