After I saw this video by Jane Davies - Gel Plate Shapes - I was so inspired I just had to try this for myself.
I cut out the shapes out of old cereal boxes and used more earthy colours - Micaceous Iron Oxide, which is a sparkly grey colour, raw umber, burnt sienna, paynes grey, transparent iron oxide, quinacridone nickel azo gold and phalo turquoise to name a few. A different colour palette to my usual one.
The painting above I printed onto watercolour paper so I could use watercolour paints for the background. The prints below are on art journal paper. I used scrunched up deli/tissue/greaseproof paper and saran/cling/glad wrap to create the textures.
I really love how some of these rocks turned out.
And here's me in Scotland last August building a rock stack....
PS Do you love creating gelli prints? Want a place to discuss gelli printing? To show off your work? Share your ideas? Discuss the pros and cons of different paints/paper/plates/tools etc? Get some great ideas on what to do with the thousands of prints you have created?
Then I would love you to join me at the Gelatin Printing Enthusiasts Facebook Group.
