Work from ink on a plexiglass plate to a print on paper in an adult workshop combining demonstrations, discussion and hands-on printmaking.
All times are local to the venue · America/Chicago
Color, shape, texture and value enter the process before the image reaches paper. At the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts’ Painterly Printmaking Workshop, participants work with ink on a plexiglass plate, then use a printing press to transfer their images.
The workshop introduces monotype printmaking through a direct sequence: apply ink to a plexiglass plate, develop an image, then transfer it to printmaking paper with a press. That gives the class both a hands-on materials focus and a chance to consider how an image changes as it moves from plate to paper.
Demonstrations and discussion cover ink mixing, brush application and press operation alongside color, shapes, texture and value. The pairing matters: the listing treats painterly qualities as part of the printmaking decisions, not as a separate topic from learning the tools.

AMFA names David Warren as instructor and identifies the workshop as led by an expert printmaker. The event listing also credits artwork to Warren, but provides no further instructor biography.

The published outline pairs demonstrations and discussion with hands-on work at the plate and press. Warren leads the workshop, with both printmaking technique and visual choices in its scope.
The workshop is a single afternoon session at the Windgate Art School.
