Collage a few gelatin print shapes

Collage a few gelatin print shapes - Linda Germain PrintmakingToday I used some demo prints to cut shapes to make my gelatin print for the ICAD.  It took longer than I thought it would.  I used

  • glue sticks
  • scissors
  • and a few practice prints
  • charcoal for scribbles and
  • a stamp set for words

I was thinking about

  • organic shapes
  • balance
  • repetition but variety
  • Value changes and
  • bright and dull

In this gelatin print…..

I had to remember to play and to let go of the idea of perfection.   Hmmm seems like I have to remind myself of that one a lot.
