This course will cover the basics, and further develop your printmaking skills and techniques.
We will cover the basics however, if you want to extend your skills and develop more complicated and refined prints, this course will cover follow up techniques for those of you who have previously attended a printing course. We will focus on block printing and gel plate printing; separately or in combination. You will learn the finer points of cutting a Lino block and how to separate layers in order to create multi colour effects. Printing on different surfaces will help you to produce an exciting extension to your work.
Tutor: Sue Wieck
Sue Wieck originally trained as a textile designer. She began watercolour painting over 20 years ago, continuing to develop her own distinctive style, mainly working directly from the landscape. She has been teaching art to both adults and younger students for over 36 years, during which time she was also Art Adviser for Bexley Education Authority. Sue works directly from life to produce paintings which express the light and shade in landscape. Her work is mainly on full-size heavy watercolour paper, as she enjoys using a variety of large brushes. This gives her the freedom to experiment with skies and express mood, which is a very different approach to that of many other watercolour painters. Her style is loose and not too detailed. Her themes include interesting old buildings, seascapes, bleak landscapes and tree studies, as well as fish and animals.
