Layering Technique with Gelli® Printed Tissue Paper

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
It's Birgit here today and I want to share with you one of my favorite techniques, layering with Gelli® printed tissue paper!

Instead of using a brayer to apply paint to the Gelli® plate, let's change it up and use a palette knife and various scrapers! Watch this video demonstrating monoprinting with this fun and expressive method for painting the plate. Complete Tutorial on the Blog: www.gelliarts.blogspot.com JOIN THE GELLI® CONVERSATION!

I think the last one still turned out well, but at this point the etching was frayed and created white, colorless marks within the lines and edges

Although this one is more simple than the rest, I believe it is my favorite. You can see all of the detail in the lines as well as the contrast between the man and the jellyfish

This one also had some remaining smudges on the bottom that I did not like.. though I did like the colors

I tried wiping less ink off of this one but it backfired and I left unwanted smudges and fingerprints on the top of it and the bottom left corner

This one, honestly, just looked kind of dirty to me

I liked the lines and placement in the first one but realized that there needs to be a contrast between the man and the jellyfish

Trace monoprints notes:
I really loved the idea of the found paper and did my very best to work with is but I did not have very much success. The gnomes were especially hard for some odd reason, I tried 3 or 4 prints before the little green guy finally turned out.

I really wish I wouldn't have added the shadows, as they are now going the wrong way. The cake turned out very light but the coffee cup and the copper pot turned out nicely. I went back in with colored pencil on this piece.

When this one came out, being a mix of oil pastel and water color, it was very pale. I went in afterward and added the orange, purple, and brighter pink with oil pastel.

I was surprised when this one came out because I used such light colors. This was all water color but looking back it would have been beneficial to do some of the lines in oil pastel.

This was my first print and it's probably my favorite. I used soap on the plate and it made the water color bead up a little bit which I didn't think I would like but in the end it created a nice effect.
