Students will learn watercolor techniques suitable for printmaking, allowing for multiple images and idea generation. They will learn to prepare a printmaking plate and create art using water-based and non-toxic materials. The goals are idea generation and the possibility of a rich series of images using accessible materials. Previous art-making, printmaking, or watercolor experience is optional. This workshop is a great introduction to the Watercolor and Water-Based Printmaking in Italy.
