It’s experimentation time! For this month’s Colorful Gelli Print Party, I am playing with Liquitex Paint Markers on the Gelli Plate. The paint pens are water based acrylic paint (at least I think they are) so I wondered if they would work for Gelli printing. And they did!
They ended up creating a wood cut feeling, but in lots of colors.
This was a completely different feeling for me than using paint on the Gelli Plate. There is so much more precision that can be easily obtained by using a marker instead of a paint brush…at least the way I use a paint brush!
See what others are making with the Gelli Plate. Take a look in the Google+ community, A Colorful Playground. And while you’re there – share what you’ve been making! New to Google+? No problem! We’re all learning that together.
I’ve got a new guest post over at CreateMixedMedia! Stop on over there to check out my conversation with that voice in my head…and how I even had a little fun freaking that voice out at the end!
Maria McGuire is a doodler. She can make magic with a pen and she loves to create stencils that have spaces made for doodling. I am not a doodler by nature but I have found doodling to be a bit infectious, in a good way!
I am easily distracted, especially when I turn off my thinking mind…and you’ll see how it shows up in the video while I am adding paint to the pattern.
Maria doodles with patterns but I am more of a word doodler, so I filled in some shapes with words. I think that stems just a bit from the fact that I don’t have her pen work patience.
I have a sneaky suspicion that I will be adding more more doodling to this in the future. That’s one of the many reasons why I love art journaling – a page never has to be finished in one sitting!
