08 Printmaking (Part 2) Capturing a Ghost Print

This is my early journey into printing on a large gel plate (16x20). I've been gel printing for many years but never this large, until I went through a hard season losing my husband to brain injuries. I came across Fulton Sim at @artwhisperer88 who inspires many of us with his minimalist printmaking sometimes inspired from other art masters.

I'm inspired by Fulton, but going my own way of exploration with printmaking. I hope I inspire you in some small way, too. If I can do this creative life, so can you.

Beautiful ghost print! I suggest having a piece of stiff board about the same size as the Somerset paper to put underneath the paper so you can hold it up to the camera easily. I also use a board if I want to keep the moist paint on the plate from smearing the back of the print. Keep on rolling!

I applaud your openness to learning always new things. I find it tiring and invigorating at the same time! I wouldn’t know where to begin with creating videos, and here you are improving yours one impressive step at a time! It’s encouraging to watch. ☺️

Composition is so challenging with abstract work (IMO).

Huge fan of your work!! Thank you!

Lovely Kate! - look forward to seeing what you do with it 😊 Did you make your own gelli plate? And what weight of paper do you use? Your acrylic paints seem to stay open for a longer period of time than mine 🤔
