  • First, sorry for referring to a 'baren' as a 'brayer'!!! Beyond this mishap, in this video I'm exploring portraiture through charcoal drawing transfer on the gel plate. Mixing with textural techniques picked up from Sally Hirst and some collage techniques too.

    Putting mono-printing, painting, collage and charcoal portraits together in one work offers me the opportunity to use many of my favorite media all at once! Such a beautiful and well done lesson. I always want to run off and go do every single thing you've just shown us. Thank you. And again more thanks.

    It is so motivating to watch you drawing and then giving the portraits an interesting context, the Bacon portraits really blew my mind. Believe it or not, I was just going to film tracing a picture from a print, but with a painting by Otto Mueller. I hope you don’t mind me doing that. I learned so much from you, and that I feel so confident of doing this UA-cam thing is also greatly owed to you…if that is even a correct English sentence…cheers from Berlin!

    I really love the textures you're using with these, and the ways the acrylic marks blend and contrast with the charcoal and pastel marks. It's as though there's a whole new hybrid medium at work here. The spray technique and the subtractive masking tape technique are lovely. Gorgeous, rich results!
    Also appreciate the tip about drawing loosely over a faint print. Opens up a large number of possibilities! Thanks!

  • @MixedMediaArtByTrina
    @MixedMediaArtByTrina 5 місяців тому

    So interesting where your exploring has led you. Love the idea of distressed layers on the plate before transferring the drawing. Really like removing some of the paint with tape. Cool idea. I have been playing with the Golden high flow acrylics on my Gelli plate. They give a similar effect as adding water but dry much quicker, which is good for me as I’m super impatient . 😊 I’m going to have a play with some landscapes tomorrow. Thanks for sharing. 😊

    I've enjoyed very much your demonstrations of various techniques using gel plates. Thank you! I liked how you showed the combination of collage on paper and using textured items as stamps to both remove from and add paint to the plate. I liked that you smudged the charcoal drawing slightly and want to try that.
    I have some *very old* charcoal drawings that I might use for fun.

      Not at all. That, and the fact you can reuse the charcoal drawing for further prints is such as bonus
