Watercolor is a medium that easily incorporates chance and accident.  We will explore how polychrome abstract
Sara_Rileywatercolors, created on and printed from Yupo plates, inform the content/narrative of your work when juxtaposed with monochrome photo or hand-drawn images printed from polyester lithographic plates. Part expressionistic, part technical this workshop will allow you to join the fluid and free aspects of painting with the more traditional aspects of printmaking.  As time permits other photo transfer methods will be introduced.  This workshop is open to painters and printmakers alike who want to engage an improvisational approach, intrigued by the process of creating unique prints rather than traditional print editions.
Sarah Riley, an internationally exhibited printmaker and painter, creates artwork drawn from myth, literature and personal history. Her printmaking studies began at Virginia Commonwealth University with British printmaker, Norman Ackroyd. She studied painting with Theresa Pollock, a student of Hans Hoffman. She has taught Printmaking, drawing, design and painting at colleges and universities for over 25 years. Her recent book on printmaking, Practical Mixed-Media Printmaking (Jan. 2012), was published by A&C Black, London. Recent exhibitions include mini-solo exhibitions at Viridian Artists, NYC in 2012 and 2014. On Cape Cod she has shown mixed and new media prints at Cove Gallery in Wellfleet, and in juried exhibitions at PAAM and The Schoolhouse Gallery, Provincetown. Her work is represented in numerous corporate, private and public collections.
