When Andy Warhol first used this blotted-line monoprint method, illustrators were amazed – and they’re still amazed today! In this class, Creativebug’s resident artist, Courtney Cerruti, walks you through the very same process that Andy Warhol made famous using simple materials: a nib pen, acrylic ink and transparency film. Plus, of course, you’ll need a wonderful image to trace. Without any drawing skills required, you’ll learn how to create one-of-a-kind monoprints by tracing over the image, then adding a touch of watercolor to make your designs pop.
Here’s what you’ll need:
  • Straight nib holder
  • Flexible pointed nib - Courtney uses the Nikko G nib
  • F&W brand acrylic ink you can also use Sennelier brand or India ink
  • Dinky Dips or shallow ink containers
  • Transparency film
  • Paper – Courtney recommends Strathmore Drawing Series 400, Cold-Press Canson Watercolor paper, or Strathmore Artigan
  • Scotch tape
  • Watercolors and brushes
  • Copyright free image to trace
  • Window cleaner
  • Paper towels
