Gel plate printing meets Impressionism tutorial
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y627UMixwHoIf you have acrylic paint, wax crayons/oil pastels and gelatine in the house you can give it a try within hours.
Recipe for 1200 ml (30*40*1cm) long lasting plate:
Gelatine: 180 g
Water: 600 ml
Glycerin: 300 ml
(Isopropal)Alcohol: 300 ml
And a baking sheet or prep a shadow box frame from a furniture store
...or get a ready made gel print from the art store. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Playing with spraying alcohol or water (fine spray or bigger droplets) onto acrylic paint, on the gelli plate. #fun
Tips:
▪ I used heavy body, and first thinned the paint a lot with retarder. Thinning with water wasn't as good.
▪ pickup sheet was raw Xuan rice paper (very absorbent)
▪ remove the pickup sheet after a few seconds, to get all the details. Else it spreads and blurs./cc @nikkiana :-)

Monotype in acrylic.
Only the second print I have made using a technique that is new to me and, while there is much work to do to improve my process and technique, I thoroughly enjoyed the experimental nature of it.

I picked up some cardstock from Goodwill yesterday for $2 and have been really pleased with the pulls I'm getting from it.
Curious to see how it holds up to multiple layers and collaging, but this one might be done as is.

Last night, I turned on https://www.rte.ie/radio/lyricfm/vespertine/ , picked a colour palette, a very muted one at that, and just went with it. Will probably collage bits together. But I think it's just too "flat" and calls for some more saturated bits. Thoughts?

I'm trying to remember that just because I didn't have the best day today doesn't mean that tomorrow won't be better, and that success is often the result of small repeated actions that may not make sense until further on in the process.
There's no need to be harsh and unkind to myself because I did less than I'd wanted to.

@RussSharek #printmaking is the most bestest type of making. Explore #monoprinting for experimentation, maybe linocut for small stamp like prints.
I went from #etching and monoprint to #letterpress using #lego. Have a look: https://grafiek.royscholten.nl/
But above all, try things to see what happens and work from there. Enjoy!

After visiting a print fair at the weekend I bought myself a perspex sheet and tried out Monoprinting. This was my first print and my favourite and my whole evening was spent trying to recapture this energy.

Yates Makes | Gel plate drawing! Emboss + Crayon combo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_imymWTVJv0I like all his Gel Plate Technique Tutorials in his channel. It is an inspiration to do more than just grungy backgrounds with gel monoprinting plates.
He is one of the rare sources to really inspire to get or make a #gelPlate and dabble in #monoprinting.
