Combining PanPastel And Acrylic Paint On The Gelli® Plate
How to use the Gelli Arts® gel plate for mixed media. Gelli Arts® artist Birgit Koopsen shares how to combine acrylic paint and PanPastel on the printing plate before pulling the final print. Steps: Apply paint through the open areas of a stencil. Use a sponge for more controle blending and mixing the colors. Remove the stencil and let the paint dry completely. Then use a sponge to apply the PanPastel in the open areas. As everything is dry you can take all the time you want to blend colors and it is no problem if the PanPastel overlaps the acrylic paint. Note: to clean the left over pigments from the plate, use a few drops of (baby)oil and a paper towel.

Gel Printing With Cornflower
Use cornflour to create weathered textures on the gel plate. Gelli Arts® artist Birgit Koopsen starts with an already printed sheet. Roll out acrylic paint colours. Sprinkle the cornflour on top. The powder will work as a mask. Place the print on top and rub firmly. Lift the print and let it dry before you carefully remove the loose cornflower. Repeat the process with the leftovers on the plate. #gelliarts #gelplate #printingplate #monoprinting #printmaking #gelprinting #gelliplate #artteacher
