Screenprinting with Watercolor: Watercolor Monoprinting

Love watercolor painting? Want to learn how to screenprint it? Come learn about watercolor monoprinting at Tiger Lily Press. This is a basic workshop in which participants will create their own designs into screens and then print that design using water soluble materials. The results are a beautiful one-of-a-kind print that look very similar to a watercolor painting or drawing. Participants can have the option of making a one-layer watercolor print or a two-layer print with a watercolor base and key linework overprint
