Gelatin plate print

Playing with Gelatin Prints

Today, I am experimenting with a new color for me – light blue. I usually do not like to mix my colors because they seem to get dull quickly when I am layering. I am still using the “stone stencils” The gelatin prints go back and forth between being something that I like and something that I just ruined. I have been leaving the gelatin right in the pan. It is amazing how much it shrinks as it ages. Leaving it in the pan, means that I get ink from the pan on my paper but I am going with the idea that these prints will be cropped in the end, so the edges don’t matter. www.linda-germain.com

Gelatin Print – Dresses by Linda Germain

Today I told myself to make 20 gelatin prints on some old cards that I found in the studio. I ink was not working the way I wanted. It was sticking to my stencils and not sticking to the gelatin as much as I wanted it to. I wondered if I should keep going even though it was not cooperating. I did finish all 20 gelatin plate monotype prints. I even like a couple of them. www.linda-germain.com
