In this art class, we are going to create a beautiful abstract landscape mono print and during this process you will enjoy learning many different techniques for creating texture.

 The Gelli printing technique is a fun and easy application that can achieve great results fast! That's one of the reason why I love it so much!

You will first learn how to print simple backgrounds, then we will explore with painting directly onto the gel plate. You will gain courage by experimenting with ordinary items from around your house to create texture, and then I will show you the possibilities of using stencils.

We will create shapes with overlay techniques and then we will use different images to gain inspiring perspectives. As you experience these simple printing techniques, you will be amazed at how easily you can gain the confidence to create an abstract landscape that will be ready to frame.

Of course, I just had to add a bonus lesson! We will use parts of our prints to create a mixed media collage and I can’t wait to show you this fabulous technique.

After finishing this art class you will know how to use the Gelli plate to create unique prints and how to use those prints to create beautiful collages. You can create artworks in an art journal, on paper or even make a finished collage on canvas. You will have the skills to continue your creative development and I really hope that you do. You can make beautiful artworks as gifts for your friends & family or you could even sell your art. 

This art class is not just about creating techniques, it's about allowing yourself the freedom to really explore your creativity in a fun & friendly environment. Making art and allowing yourself the freedom to express your creativity from the core of who you are, can be liberating and affirming to your sense of self.

I would love to see what you create, so please post a photo in the project section, of your favourite print, your finished collage, or even a photo of the most interesting texture you found to print with.
