Negative and Positive Mark Making on the gelplate

Today we started with some base prints (some were prints sent to me by others in happy mail) which we added layers to. We made “negative marks” on the gel plate by using silicone scrapers to and various tools to remove paint. Then we made “positive marks” using foam stamps, 3D paint pens and other objects to add marks to the gel plate or directly to the prints.
