What you'll do
Monotype is a type of printmaking made by drawing or painting on a smooth, non-absorbent surface. The surface was historically a copper plate, but in contemporary work, it can be zinc, glass, acrylic, or Perspex. The image is then transferred onto paper by pressing the two together, using an etching press, brayer, hand-held baren, or by techniques with which most printmakers started exploring this medium, such as rubbing with the back of a wooden spoon or the fingers.This class will provide an introduction to monotype techniques using water-based inks, Perspex, and a hand-held baren, without the need for a press.We will explore different ways of applying ink and learn how to create interesting textures using various mark-making tools.We will start with landscape as the subject matter and learn how to create a painterly print rich in atmosphere and achieve perspective by applying ink of various transparency and consistency.We will work with colour, using a limited palette and experiment with different types of paper.We will look at how a traditional hand-printed monotype can be combined with other techniques and mediums, such as stencil, trace-monotype, or pastel.In later sessions, you will be invited to use a subject/reference of your choice and apply the techniques we learned in previous sessions.And most importantly, we will have fun and perhaps discover something new to add to your artistic practice!

The VAS art studio occupies an original bluestone building opened in 1874. Though almost totally subsumed by gallery in 1895, it still serves both as a studio and a reminder of our history. Designed by architect Leonard Terry, who had worked principally as a designer of warehouses and banks, it was a single-storey construction without windows.Since then, the VAS studio has survived extensions, renovations and massive restoration projects to be associated with the careers of some of the most significant artists of Australian history. It is within these walls that young artists including Arthur Streeton, Charles Conder, Tom Roberts, Walter Withers and Frederick McCubbin commenced their journey of brushstrokes. The original floor of Baltic pine, worn by the feet of these artists and coloured with 150 years of paint, still remains alongside original tables and easels. To this day, the Victorian Artists Society offers classes catering to all experience levels, from beginners to professional artists, in oil, watercolour, acrylic, drawing and sculpture. Classes cover techniques such as portraiture from a life model, landscape and still life. Daytime, afternoon, evening and weekend classes are conducted in the historic VAS Studio and are taught by highly regarded artists.In addition to our 10 week courses, we also regularly offer workshops and a number of casual sessions including life and portrait.
