Well, actually two prints!
I went out and bought some transparent acrylic paint. The colours are far too strong for me so I was thrilled to find the Liquitex Transparent Mixing White paint. White paint is usually opaque so when you mix it with transparent paint the colour becomes opaque.
I tried out mixing the white with the colours to see if it genuinely didn't make the colours opaque.
Then I did layers of the tramsparent paint - leaving each layer to dry before the next layer. The next two photos show the layers on the gel plate from either side, whilst holding the plate so the light sone through.
I have two gel plates so I worked on the two at the same time with the same colours and same stencils. As before the next two photos show the layers on the gel plate from either side, whilst holding the plate so the light sone through.
The back of the plate is dirty and that show through as well!!!!
Here's the last transparent layer. Because I rarely clean my palette there's a lot of dried-on acrylic paint which caused some really great texture on my roller.
Here are the two prints I pulled. One from each plate.
The colours are not as pastel as I would like but there you go!
Thanks for joining me today
