Building Layers for a One-Pull Print

Sep 25

One and Done!

Layering patterns, textures and colors directly onto the Gel Plate

This week I’ll show you how I create a painterly print for collage paper with some FUN stamps and a texture plate, directly onto the Gel Plate for a one-pull print. I’m using a real sturdy rice paper to pull off these multiple layers, with the smooth side down. I’m also working from the most translucent colors to opaque colors, in that order. It’s important to stay in the same family of color for harmony, but if you want dissonance, go ahead and experiment with some clashing colors! I intend to use this paper for collage and I am going to put it into my green paper drawer.

If you are interested in in-depth learning I have an online self-study Gel Plate Monoprinting for Collage Paper workshop that’s fantastic.

Full length in-depth tutorials (including the conclusion of this one) are published on my Paper Paintings Patreon Page
