Rob Gonsalves is a Canadian painter who describes his style as magic realism, and which perhaps incorporates the surreal style of René Magritte with the perspective of M. C. Escher. His work uses a lot of repetitive patterns that morph from one form to another to create an illusion. In this short documentary he talks some more about his work.

Pay attention, as there is a quiz at the end:) The links I have chosen for each artist are from a number of different sources, and I hope you will spend some time at each website to explore many more works of art.

Monotype month
Happy New Year everyone.
This month I plan to concentrate solely on monotype print making. This print process has been described as the most painterly print making process. The image is created on a smooth non-absorbent surface, by both adding and removing ink as needed, then printing a single copy on to paper.
This introductory video is a trailer for an instructional video by Julia and Gail Ayres, and shows some of the interesting techniques that can be used in creating images.
Read more about monotypes in "The distinction between monotypes and monoprints and the process of creating these works on paper".
Stay tuned to Craft Videos for more on monotypes during the rest of the month.
