Crayon Resist Gel Printing
Create beautiful distressed textures on the gel plate using stencils and wax crayons. Gelli Arts® artist Birgit Koopsen loves this technique because of the lovely distressed textures it makes and you can combine as many stencils together as you like. Birgit is using Gelli Arts® stencils. You can find them in our shop at www.GelliArts.com. Letting the first layer dry before adding the next/pick-up layer is crucial. Birgit used wax crayons but any wax or oil-based crayons will work. #gelliarts #gelplate #printingplate #monoprinting #printmaking #gelprinting #gelliplate #artteacher

Top Tips For Succesful Magazine Transfers
Artist Drew Steinbrecher shares his tips for successful magazine image transfers on a Gelli Arts® gel printing plate: Roll on a thinner layer of acrylic paint. Choose an image with high contrast. Use a light touch when laying down the magazine page. Let sit for a few minutes before pulling the page up. Let the paint dry, then add more paint or matte medium to pick up the image. Let the paper sit until mostly dry, then pull the print. Magazines with glossy pages have the best results.
