Using Liquitex® Basics paint, I was able to create gorgeous, vibrant painterly portraits on my
Gelli®️ plate. Check out the process here:
To create these portraits, I simply painted
directly onto my Gelli®️ plate using Liquitex® Basics paint. I started with Mars
Black to create my outlines.
Then, once that dries, fill in the color.
Next, use the Liquitex® Basics Transparent Mixing
White over all the layers once dried. Roll it on with a brayer & remove
until you have a nice thin layer.
Then, lay your Gelli®️ plate onto your
paper. Press firmly & leave it to sit for about 5-10 minutes. Slowly, pull
your Gelli®️ plate, easing it away from the paint that is now on your paper.
And you’re done!
