Clase de Monotipo en español / Spanish-language Monotype Class
El monotipo es una técnica gráfica situada entre el dibujo, la pintura y la estampa. A través de dibujar o pintar con óleo o tinta sobre una placa para después estamparla sobre algún soporte (puede ser papel o tela) se obtiene una única impresión denominada monotipo. El proceso debe repetirse para cada estampa por eso es única.
En este taller los participantes conocerán más del proceso de monotipia trabajando con la representación del rostro humano. Aprovechando el azar y las particularidades de los materiales de esta técnica realizarán una serie de retratos monotipo.
The monotype is a classic graphic technique situated between drawing, painting and printing. Through drawing or painting with oils or inks on a plate and then stamping it on a given material (whether paper or textiles) we can obtain a singular impression called a monotype. This process then must be repeated for each stamping, hence creating a unique image.
In this workshop, participants will learn & deepen their understanding of the monotype process, working primarily with representations of the human face. Taking advantage of turns of chance and the particularities of materials through this technique, students will create their own series of monotype portraits.
