Screenprint at Malaspina Printmakers.

Screenprint

 A bunch of great people from all over the World, (Iceland, Poland, Britain, Canada, and I from Argentina), joined Matt Parisien, the guy holding a roller between his hands, and who was in charge to teach Screenprint at Malaspina Printmakers.
 Un montón de gente estupenda de todas partes del mundo, (Islandia, Polonia, Gran Bretaña, Canadá, y yo, de Argentina), nos unimos a Matt Parisien, el chico que sostiene un rodillo entre sus manos, y que fue el encargado de enseñar Serigrafía en Malaspina Printmakers.

 We explored the basics of screenprint, which is a process derived from stencil printing, including the direct stencil methods, photographic based screen printing techniques- inks and modifiers. But,  most of the time, we worked with water-based ink.

 Exploramos los fundamentos de la serigrafía, que es un proceso derivado de la impresión de esténciles, incluyendo los métodos directos de esténciles, la serigrafía basada técnicas de impresión fotográfica, tintas y modificadores.  Aunque, la mayor parte del tiempo, trabajamos con tinta a base de agua.

 Screenprint works very well for photo-based, hand drawn (my favorite), or computer manipulated images: Photoshop, something I must learn in the future.

Monotypes, papers, liftprint and chine collé.

My Tuesdays in April at Malaspina.

Monotypes liftprint and chine collé: the painterly print.

In this picture I am with Anne Gaze, great Vancouver artist, and in the middle of us, Heather Aston, who is a  printmaker that works out of her home studio and a printmaking studio on Granville Island in Vancouver. I have the pleasure to share Malaspina Studio with them.
                                Thank you Heather!

  The experience of working in a studio atmosphere was wonderful.         

               

This printmaking process is one that involves transformation and discovery.

In this course I explored making oil-based monotypes while I learned other printing  techniques such as liftprint and chine collé.                       

Along with theses techniques, I was introduced to different papers (Japanese, like mulberry, kozo, or  rice). Using materials, like cheap oil painting brushes, Q-tips, wooden chopsticks, objects with rigid textures (bubble wrap, toothbrushes, combs, plastic forks, wire brushes, corrugated cardboard, or anything else you can find that you might want to draw with or make impressions with).

My prints

     

The course opened to me new possibilities for expression in my artwork, enjoying, and exploring colour, form, line, and different techniques. There were demonstrations, discussions, and critiques as well. Art is learning every single day.

KABOOM!

I am so happy because I was invited to be part of the  KaBoom! The Port Moody Art Explosion,  last April 5, 2014 at City Hall Galleria, 100 Newport Drive, Port Moody , at 7pm. 

KaBoom! brouthg together Port Moody-based artists in a creatively-combustible evening of art and performance.

It was an explosion of self-made fun and entertainment, where we invite the audience to participate in hands-on activities.

Here, I am talking with Sonia Vaz Mais, Port Moody's artist and friend of mine, and with a friend of her. We were waiting for the Fortune Teller.
