To make it easier for you to remember the techniques I have broken down the video into bite sized chunks of 3 texture techniques each week in shorts. Your paintings will never look better!

Today Iāve been deep cleaning the art studio... Iām playing around with artefacts to lay on the gel plate. Much as I love printing leaves, I think artefacts tell a story. Keys, jewellery, sewing threads, old cassette tapes, crystal vases, all tell of a personal journey. Old pieces of lace, and even favourite clothes make interesting prints too. Whatās your favourite artefact?

If youāre looking for watercolor recommendations, I really enjoy the Gansai Tambi sets by Kuretake. They perform like watercolor when plenty of water is added, but act like gouache when less water is used. I have an in depth video coming soon showing you how I made these swatch cards for inside the lids.

Have you tried gel printing with rubber bands ? I love the release papers made from recycled tissue paper almost as much as the final print. Try using coloured card stock like this soft pink, so there is no white paper showing through. Cut around your tissue paper circles and paste them into your art journal or notebook ! Such fun . š
