This is not a real Fresh Paint Friday, because I am not making a piece start to finish. I am, however, demonstrating one of the techniques I'm using for my new series of shape arrangements. I will be teaching a workshop on Masks and Stencils at Art and Soul next year in Kansas City (March 20 - 23, 2014), so stay tuned.
Here are a few of the pieces I started yesterday. I will post finished pieces next week. These are all in progress:
The is the piece in the video. I will, possibly, add ink and then paint.
Another beginning using various techniques on the gel plate.
The large shape is a ghost print, the others the first pull.
I started introducing some brighter colors.
The faint curvy lines at the bottom are a ghost print, not using a mask.
If you have a gel plate from GelliArts, give this a try! Experiment with your own palette and techniques. You can also make a gelatin plate using Knox gelatin or Monoprint Gelatin. It does not last as long, but gelatin has its own unique properties. I am using my usual set of materials listed on my Links Page. Thanks for visiting!!
