Hope you enjoy the video, it was fun to make. If you'd like more videos then tell me in the comments.
Below are a few recent pages using pre-prepared backgrounds so you can see how that looks, and what the possibilities are. The F&W acrylic inks from the video were used along with some other types of acrylic paints , all of which were kept very thin.

this was excellent, Jan. By coincidence, I was introduced to acrylic inks yesterday for a whole different application which didn't personally interest me. Now, I see my excuse for buying them - oh, and a gelli plate. More videos please
Thank you for your video! I loved to watch it! It is less intimidating to work on a prepared background!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try this. I have a gelli plate I have never used! Thanks for the video.
