Gelli printing is a simple and fun technique for creating unique prints with acrylic paint. Using a brayer, you spread the paint over a Gelli plate, a soft silicone plate that allows you create beautiful monotypes without a press. You can also add other materials to make patterns. For example: leaves, feathers, gauze, etc. Then you lay a sheet of paper over the paint, rub the back of the paper a bit and then pull it up. The wet paint adheres to the paper and the marks made in the paint before laying the paper down create unique and interesting artworks. You can also use a wide range of materials for printing. For example: Any paper, fabric, plastic/acetate sheets, different types of tape, cardboard, wooden boards, sheet metal, almost anything that paint will stick to can be used.
