Monoprint Collage

 I love combining gel plate monoprints with collage techniques. Here are a few examples, all of which are 9"x12" except the last, which is larger. Join me in Sedona next month for a 4-day workshop!!

A New Gel Plate

I just recently discovered this 12"x12" gel plate from Gel Press. I love the size, and also the tightness of the corners.

Some New Work

I'm having a lot of fun in my Monoprint Collage class, which is currently happening online.  Here are a few new pieces.  These are made by first printing the shapes through a stencil, then painting in the ground and other elements.  I'm trying to throw unlike things together to see what kinds of conversations they have.

These are all 10"x10", and I will mount them to wood panel.  Along with some other new work, they are now available at Jane Davies Art Gallery, in "Works on Panel".  They will also be available as prints on Fine Art America.  Stay tuned...

The ground color on the right is made from Sennelier's "Sepia".  More on color mixing in a later post.

I posted this one previously.  I think I like it the best - beginner's luck!

Happy Thanksgiving and Holiday Weekend

Happy Thanksgiving to those of you in the United States. This is not a real blog post; I'm just showing off a new piece that takes Monoprint Collage in a little bit of a new direction for me.

10"x10", Monoprint on Paper

Actually, there is no collage in this piece, just monoprint with a gelli plate, and paint.  I have a few spaces available in my Monoprint Collage workshop on Whidbey Island in May.  Have a lovely holiday weekend!

Student Work from Sechelt

This is just a sampling of Big Fat Art from Sechelt.  These are all 18"x24":

A group of work in progress

And here are a few examples of student work in Monoprint Collage.  These are various sizes, approximately 8"x8" - 10"x10":

Please don't re-post these images on Pinterest or anywhere else, as they will appear to be MY work.  I post student work anonymously.  Enjoy!!

Lucie DuClos, who has taken several of my workshops, is now busy designing fabric and other products on Spoonflower.  Spoonflower is a print-on-demand site where you can create designs and have them printed on fabric, wall paper, gift wrap, and other products.  It has allowed Lucie a fabulous outlet for her constant flow of creativity.  She has been chosen as one of eight finalists in a design contest, and her submission is gorgeous!  Take a look:

 

 

 

Here are a few things Lucie has done in my Monoprint Collage workshops:
