Kate Baillies of Alberta Printmakers (Calgary, Alberta, Canada) is a dedicated researcher and digs in deep when she wants to understand a process or develop a new technique. This demonstration takes a walk on the spontaneous side as she guides us through the process of how to create painterly, richly textured images directly on a photopolymer plate. Kate covers the stages of photopolymer plate preparation, making an image by drawing and making texture directly on the prepared plate, and the development of the image through light exposure and water wash out. There are also some fun options for introducing drawing and texture after the development stage of the image which she introduces.
