Eight days of art and one week completed of 100daysprojectscotland. I have kept to my chosen subject matter of flowers but have tried a few different styles and mediums.
One thing I wanted to play around with was how to incorporate some of the prints I have created while doing my monotype printing course into new sketches , and also to try using some of the printing techniques I learned.
Gelli printing is a very accessible way of printing ( so you use a flexible Gelli plate to print from). I had been given a gift of a workshop at InkonMesh for my birthday and on a half day workshop used Gelli printing with foliage to make prints.
Almost as if my two worlds were colliding ☺️🍃☺️🎨
With this type of Gelli printing technique, you use plant material as stencils on the Gelli plate to create a positive and a negative image. The idea is to capture the textures of the foliage & then the fun part is layering different colours to see what transpires.
This type of printing suits me because as with watercolour, I quite enjoy the unexpected aspect – so never quite knowing how the print might turn out or as with watercolour painting how the alchemy of water, paint, paper will behave.
It’s early days but I am enjoying the first week of the 100 day challenge – although I am still bumbling along and not quite as organised as I could be on some days.
The unfinished sentence 
Hi Marob23 – good to see you back again! Have fun with the project. All the best Scriever
Thank you – great to hear from you, still can’t decide whether drawing everyday or writing about it is the harder challenge- time will tell 🙂
