Using the Gel Plate
I’ve had a lot of fun and success over the last few weeks meticulously building my paintings and designs up on my different sized gel plates, waiting with baited breath, not really knowing what they will look like until that moment 26 hours later when the acrylic paint is all set.
Finally I can flip the paper and gel plate combination on my print table and see the image for the first time. But still the wait is not over. Now I have to carefully peel the gel plate back and hope that no part of the image is still wet and sticks to the plate.
Enjoy my process videos as much as I have as each image is revealed!

@alic_creative Am enjoying this gel plate image transfer printing process so much I wish I didnt have to stop. But that is always the way. I felt like this with my final works last semester 2. The nature of study is a curse. You neber get to bask innthe komentbof triumph & success. You always have to move onto the ‘next thing’ on the due list 😢 These 16 x 20 extra large gel plates I’m using were sourced for me by the @Scrapbook house Make sure you contact Mel for all your mixed media needs. She found these super fast for me ❤️ #printmaking #drawing #studios #art #artist #mixedmedia #mixedmediaart #mixedmediaartist #bachelorvisualart #visualart #visualartist #creative #creativeart #creativearts #creativeartist #aussiemum #aussieartist #bachelorvisualarts #artpractice #gelprinting #geliprinting #artistoninstagram #artistsoninstagram #monoprinting #monoprints #monoprint #printing #gelplate #pastelpencils

@alic_creative This image transfer was challenging. It was my first one where I attempted to collage paper directly onto the gel plate and let me tell you the paper did NOT want to stick! When I peel and reveal you can see the paper is still loose in places 🙃 Anyway, it held up in the end and she looks ah-mazing….NEXT CHALLENGE! 😅 . #printmaking #drawing #studios #art #artist #mixedmedia #mixedmediaart #mixedmediaartist #bachelorvisualart #visualart #visualartist #creative #creativeart #creativearts #creativeartist #aussiemum #aussieartist #bachelorvisualarts #artpractice #gelprinting #geliprinting #artistoninstagram #artistsoninstagram #monoprinting #monoprints #monoprint #printing #gelplate #pastelpencils

@alic_creative I’ve always advocated #teachkidshobbies and I practice what I preach, so I’m already teaching Miss 12 the #imagetransfer process so that she can apply it to her own unique style of #art once I’ve finished monopolising the plates 😃 . #printmaking #drawing #studios #artist #mixedmedia #mixedmediaart #mixedmediaartist #bachelorvisualart #visualart #visualartist #creative #creativearts #creativeartist #aussieartist #bachelorvisualarts #monotypeprinting #gelprinting #geliprinting #gelplate #monotypeprint #monoprinting #monoprints #monoprint #printing
