I have been exploring the basics of brayering and layering in gelatin printmaking.
One of the important concepts is to print thin layers from light to dark.
Another way I create interest is to print on only parts of the plate. That allows for lots of crisp colors.
I also think that stencils of different line quality and shape help to create interest.
The most important thing is to print a lot and be willing to experiment.
