Gel Printing and Mixed Media Video #8 Adding Paint

This last installment of the Gel Printing and Mixed Media series is quite a long one. As I got into the recording of the clips, I realised that this could have been a series of it’s own! Painting techniques I demonstrate in this video include Glazing, Negative Painting, Direct Painting and Indirect Painting. The colours that I use depend on the colours of the gel printed tissues. In this case, I used Titanium White, Indian Yellow, Quin Gold, Transparent Red Iron Oxide, Dioxazine Purple, Ultramarine Blue, Sap Green, Burnt Umber and Paynes Grey. These are mostly Golden Heavy Bodied acrylics rather than the Golden Open, which I use for gel printing. I don’t need the extra drying time for these techniques. If you have any questions please leave a comment! Thanks for watching!
