Knot a gelatin Print

2010, Gelatin plate print / Linda Germain / August 19, 2009

Today was too hot to print with the gelatin plate. I had to run up to NHIA to pick up some artwork that had been on exhibit. I sought refuge in the public library were there was AC and things to draw. I did some sketches of people plants and sounds of the library. Last night I had a great visit with Pat Lutz, owner of the Artists’ Playground in Newburyport. www.linda-germain.com

So I am going to post images of my monotype prints to my Flickr account to broaden the exposure for gelatin prints. It seems to be time consuming but it will get easier I think. www.linda-germain.com

Playing with Gelatin Prints

2010, Gelatin plate print / Linda Germain / August 14, 2009

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

Sorting through Gelatin Prints

2010, Gelatin plate print / Linda Germain / July 7, 2009

Today, I am looking through piles of gelatin plate monotype prints to choose some to frame for the upcoming show. I have a series of grasses and weeds, a series of dresses and some figurative prints, and a few horse prints. I have to decide what I would like to share, say and show in this exhibit. www.linda-germain.com

Gelatin Print – Dresses by Linda Germain

2010, Gelatin plate print / Linda Germain / July 3, 2009

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
