  • Today on Studio Sunday, I’m sharing my Gel Printing Game! I play this little game with myself when I’m feeling stuck or uninspired, or sometimes just as a little warm up. I’d love to see what happens when you try it.
    Jennifer Akkermans is a mixed media visual artist, specializing in Intuitive Printmaking using acrylic paints on a gel plate. Jennifer's work is instantly recognizable through its use of bright, bold color and pattern. She makes her own stencils to use in her gel printing, and loves to use found objects to create texture.

    love you sense of humor as you develop your prints....great idea.

      They never turn out as you expect anyway. It’s an exercise in letting go of the outcome.

    I love this game. Constraints and decisions.

    I am so happy to have found you! Gelli printing and collage are my favorite art forms also!
    You get right to it and not too much explaining! I love it! And the game is brilliant - I will be playing soon.

    What a great technique to break "artist's block"! I love the color combinations. Can you tell me what color of purple you used? On video it's beautiful! Thanks, and a new subscriber here!

      Thank you! I think it’s Liquitex Dioxadine purple…?

    So FUN! What was the gold you used, please? Do you clean your brayer in between? What about cleaning your masks? (Newbie here)

    • @JenniferAkkermans
      @JenniferAkkermans  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Fun for sure! I roll off my brayer on scrap paper, and wipe it with a wet wipe when the next color I want to use is really different. But really, get yourself a couple of brayers so you don’t have to clean them quite so often. As for masks, I almost never clean them. Rarely, I’ll wipe with a wet wipe, or put them paint side down on a scrap paper, but once they’re dry (even with paint on them) they’re ready to go again.
      The gold is liquitex basics - just gold, I think.
      You’re a newbie- welcome to the addiction! This video is a good place to start: th-cam.com/video/irpknYUVQYY/w-d-xo.html
      Happy printing!

    I love your leaf stencils....did you cut them yourself or buy them? If you bought them, could you share where you got them? Wonderful video...thank you

    • @JenniferAkkermans
      @JenniferAkkermans  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Susan! I cut them myself. I’d suggest you draw what you’d like and then make your own stencils- I have a tutorial here: th-cam.com/video/vCzAaTsR-PM/w-d-xo.html
