I like to just play when I am gelatin printing. But I do think that I have a few compositional rules in the back of my head that guide me.
One of the rule that I use keep is simple. Often my gelatin monotypes can get dull, muddy or chaotic. So I work up lots of prints and learn from each one. Then take what I learned and create a simplified version keeping the marks that I like and avoiding the ones I don’t like. So If you look at some of my printsyou will see that often I use two colors and 2 to 3 stencils of shapes.
