Printing Quickly – Gel plate Prints

monotype print / By /

Gelatin print by linda germain with a feather and a stencilSometimes it helps to print quickly when making gel plate prints:

  • it gets your inner critic to quiet down
  • the inks don’t dry as fast
  • you get into the flow of your own creativity

Gel Plate Prints

  • used a feather
  • made the shape print in blue in the left
  • put the detailed impression of the feather on the right
  • pre inked the dancer
  • release the ink on to the gelatin plate
  • printed the dancer on top

Happy Printing

    Good reminder! I have been revisiting old gel plate scraps and printing them with linocuts of little creatures that I recently created. There is definitely a synergy between the two–worth pushing past that critic and trying some new things out!!
