In MONOPRINTING MATISSE: Drawing from Life, we will be focussing on Drypoint. Drypoint is a printmaking technique in which an image is scratched into a plate with a hard-pointed "needle" of sharp metal. Drypoint is very much like drawing, except, when inked, can be printed from again and again. In this class we will be drawing portraits and still life with drawing tools attached to long sticks (just like Matisse!) which we will then transform into a print.
