Description

The French artist Denise Crolle-Terzaghi shows us how she works and how her colourful prints are made. She uses only Schmincke Aqua Linoprint inks. Gelatin printing is a versatile way to print with linoprint inks or slow-drying acrylic paints. Besides a gelatin plate (ready to buy Gelli plates made of synthetic gel or self-made plates made with real gelatin – recipe below) and the mentioned colours you will need a selection of materials for creating texture and pattern on your plate: stencils, textiles, dried plant material, cardboard and so on. Printing with several colour layers leads to a unique building-up of colour and depth and every print, of course, is one of a kind, a monotype. This printing technique requires some experimenting and learning and the results are surprising and fun. Schmincke Aqua Linoprint Ink Colours are great for this technique because they are watercolour inks and so can be reactivated with water and will not dry on the gel plate and ruin it.
