Art of Creating Monotypes

Elliot Rating..."One of the ten best teachers on tape."--ARTIST'S MAG. The work is a comprehensive procedural text discussing methods & techniques for creating monotypes, as well as a valuable reference tool. Includes a chronological sketch that involves artists & their methods throughout the monotype's brief 400-year history. A 120-minute video with four contemporary American artists - Beverly Fredericks, Martin Green, Florence Putterman, & Karen Vernon - demonstrating their techniques is available as a text/video set by the same title. "Technical questions, terminology, techniques, recipes, subsidiary information dealing with health hazards, archival integrity, documentation, & details concerning each of the four artists' methods are found in the...textbook. Because the book is available for...reference, the viewer can simply sit back & enjoy the video, absorbing the experience of watching artists at work without having to memorize what is being said...a lastingly useful teaching tool for artists, teachers, workshops, & therapists in search of a painterly, creative method for making monotypes. It is unusual to find in any single class, workshop, or studio, as many inventive techniques as there are in this videotape & book."-- Mary Carroll Nelson, Contributing Editor, AMERICAN ARTIST.
