Making gelatin monotype prints

Today, I cleaned up my work space a little and then gathered a few tools and pulled some gelatin prints. I was thinking about a couple of design concepts.

  1. Keep it simple
  2. Layer light over dark
  3. let a focus evolve

I hope you can find time to play with printmaking. Give yourself some limits of boundaries and see if the challenge creates new discoveries.

For this mountain scape I used torn paper stencils and the delicate grasses as a stencil for the foreground focus.

I hope I have inspired you to:

  • Gather a few stencils
  • Make a pile of prints and
  • Keep it simple

Magic will happen!
