T46. New Resinotype: Positive, Negative and Trichromy with Miguelo Aguilar

In this workshop, participants will engage in an advanced exploration of resinotype focused on positive and negative printing and tricolour workflows. The session combines theoretical grounding with extended hands on practice, allowing for deeper technical control and a more precise understanding of the process.The workshop begins with a theoretical introduction covering materials, the resinotype process, zone treatment, and monochrome resinotype as a technical foundation. This first phase prepares participants to build a solid base before moving into more complex colour and tonal strategies.After an initial practical session, a second theoretical block introduces work with positives and negatives, tricolour resinotype, and exposure times.ে. Participants then continue with hands on experimentation, applying these concepts directly to their prints in order to develop greater control over colour, contrast, and tonal balance.

Outline

1. Theory: materials, resinotype process, zone treatment, and monochrome resinotype
2. Practice: hands-on resinotype work
3. Theory: positives and negatives, tricolour workflows, and exposure times
4. Practice: continued hands-on work applying advanced techniques

Participants must bring:

• Negatives or positives on acetate that you would like to convert into resinotypes at the final size you want.
• If you know how to separate colours on the computer, you may bring the three positives, one for each RGB colour that composes the image.
• Objects that can be used to create photograms.
• A material or surface on which you would like to produce the resinotype.
• Any pigment you would like to test (not too intense).
