Exploring new mediums to kick start a creative and exciting New Year

One of the things I like to do more in 2019 is printmaking. While I dabbled in printmaking in the past and sold a few monotype prints, my enthusiasm was sparked again through a workshop I attended in 2018. The monotype workshop was hosted by my artist friend Ig Terblanche, who is an excellent printmaker and artist. His way of teaching was very inspiring and even so the workshop we hosted at my studio was fully booked, I also managed to do a little print. Since then I didn’t had a chance to explore this wonderful medium again.

As an artist I realise that routine is the death of any creative process and in order to grow in your art, any artists need to try new things. While oil painting is my favorite medium I look forward to break away from the canvas for a change.

Due to many requests Ig and I decided to host another monotype workshop in my studio in George. The first one will be already in February to kick start this new year with lots of creativity.

Below are some images and a short video of our latest workshop, as well as the finished monotype I made.  Please leave your name in the comment if you want to join me in doing a printing work shop with Ig Terblanche.
