New Gelatin Printing Video by Linda Germain


Well I had some fun putting this gelatin printmaking tutorial together.  I will show you how to pre-ink a masking stencil for monotype printing on the gel plate.  This will give you a strong detailed impression.

Enjoy it and then give it a try.

  1. Linda,
    Your work and your videos are fantastic and so inspiring! Following a trip to Boston this summer, I did a lot of gelatin printing, using some masks I made from fun foam and stencils I cut from quilting template plastic. I love the idea of how you inked the silhouette and then printed a second color at the same time. I’ve had a lot of success simply inking the cut-out shape (from the stencil) and then using it as one would a rubber stamp — just set it where you want it and then press down here and there. Gives a different texture. Here’s my blog if you want to see what you’ve inspired! leslierosenbergart.blogspot.com.

    Thanks again! Leslie

  2. Thanks Leslie,
    We have so many mark making options – each one with different results. That is one of the things I love about the gelatin printing process. Happy Printing

  3. Linda:
    I see you have found a use for those stacks of unreadable phone directories that are still getting dropped on the front stoop. They work darn good as newsprint pick up!
