an exploration of painting and printmaking

Stencils and gelatin monotype plates and screen printing ink, oh my! . This piece is 16”x20”, part of a demonstration for our last @printclublansing meeting. Special thanks again to @speedball_art and @blickartmaterials for the generous donations to help keep our club get started. I will forever be grateful for the support to share my love of printmaking with my community. . #printclublansing #queerswhoprint #gelatinmonotype #printmaking #printmakersofinstagram #queerprintmakers (at Lansing, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUFsxERlogU/?utm_medium=tumblr

I’m putting together a portfolio of examples of various print techniques, this one is a gelatin monotype print using stencils and relief blocks. Made with Speedball water-based block printing ink ( all of the supplies used to make this are available at @oddnoddart ). I love gelatin printing because it’s like a gateway to all things print. Plus, it’s one of my favorite ways to warm up in the studio. . What type of printmaking are you excited to work on at @printclublansing ? . #printmaking #printclublansing #queerswhoprint #monotype #gelatinmonotype (at Lansing, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ6R9gzB8XI/?utm_medium=tumblr

Morning studio time. Gelatin monotype prints with Speedball professional relief ink on top of sketches. . Working out some layers and really excited to play with this. Instead of drawing, might switch it up with some litho in the mix. . #printmaking #monotype #gelatinprint #riverbedseries https://www.instagram.com/p/CPA3r0Vhcey/?utm_medium=tumblr
