Warning, There is a Nude Figure Being depicted on this video for Fine Art reasons.
After a long period away from printmaking, Artist Mary Vasquez got out her ink and gel plate and started a monotype with an expressionistic dark field figure drawing. It was fun experimenting using different materials for textural effects

Wow thanks. Literally every single gelli plate video is using acrylic paints and stencils. Your is the only reductive printing with ink I've come across using a gelli plate. And speedball inks. There's a couple others using akua inks but like I said the vast majority of gelli plate monoprinting techniques involve acrylic paint and stencils or stamps. Thank you for this video

Thank you for watching. I couldn’t find any either so I decided to make one. The speedball gel plates are designed for ink. This larger one I was using didn’t work as well with the ink. I use Caligo relief inks as well as akua and speedball for gelli plates.

Yea. No acrylics. I’m so grateful. I’ve used Caligo Safe Wash with good results. Just use a wet wipe to clean off

Lose the background music and turn the volume up on the vocals to make it easier to hear what you are saying. May sound like a complaint, but it's not, it's just advice.

I’ve had bad experiences using printing ink of different types on gel plates. The oil-based ink sticks incredibly well to the gel plate, and essentially glues the paper down to the plate, then needing to be ripped away, destroying whatever the print may have been. Cleaning the gel plate afterward was quite difficult, requiring several passes with baby oil to release the ink and residual paper. I’m presuming this ink must be water-based, like the Akua brand?

I am sorry you had that experience with oil based ink. What you are describing reminds me of using acrylic paint on a gel plate. For this plate, I used an oil based ink by Speedball, Speedball Professional relief ink, its a safe wash ink and only requires a little oil or even soap and water for clean up. Since monotype is s relief method, this ink worked very well. What was the brand you used when you were having difficulty?

13:55 Did you intend to have a man’s face & shoulders next to your focal nude? He’s almost the same size as the subject & just appeared out of the shadows with his eyes closed and a hand falling over his face. It’s amazing how many faces appear in gel prints. Almost like ghosts

Haha, I didn’t even notice. That’s crazy. Thanks for pointing that out. That definitely was not intentional.
