Awesome Autumn!! Let's Make Some Art! #autumn #artdemo #botanicalpainting #leafprinting
Hey everyone!
I don’t know about all of you, but I absolutely love this time of year! 🎃
I know we’re not quite there yet, but it’s just days away, and I couldn’t wait to do an autumn inspired mixed media piece!
I combine a little bit of Gelli printing with some interesting background colors and fine-line work to get a different approach to using autumn leaves in a painting!
I hope you enjoy! ☺️

Ink Jet Printing on the Gelli Plate?! #mixedmedia #gelliplate #inkjetprinter #monoprinting #artdemo

Hi, All! So if you watch the same amount of art videos that I do, I’m sure you have heard people talking about using inkjet prints on the gel plate. This was a definite no-no in the beginning, but seems to be gaining popularity. The procedure is a little bit different, but you actually CAN get a successful print from an ink jet printer! Stick with me through this video, and I will show you how ...

      You can think of it like acrylic paint but without the pigment. It’s not exactly the same thing, but it functions in much the same way. Many collage artists use it as an adhesive to glue down their collage papers. It can also be used as an additive to acrylic paint to make the paint more transparent!

I had heard the exact same things that you did, and hadn’t had the energy to do this experiment myself! Knowing that we can do an inkjet transfer, it also tells me I can photocopy a magazine page on an inkjet, when that magazine page doesn’t have the right ink to transfer on its own. I’ve been running into that lately as well. Older mags transfer great but many newer ones don’t.
