Monotype printing with a gel press

[@sherrydee]

I just love how you apply subtle layer after layer with the painting becoming lovelier and lovelier with each pull! This is WAY harder than it looks and I really enjoy watching your process. Very inspiring.

Thank you! It really is harder than it looks. I've thrown away more pieces than I've created learning how!!!

[@otteroid2]

The way you build up color and depth is wonderful.

Hi, what paper do you use? Thanks.

[@HeartstoneArt]

Hi Virginie! I use 140lb watercolor paper. I think this image was done on Arches Hot Press, but recently I've been using Blick's own watercolor paper. Here's the link (it's an affiliate link, which won't cost you any more but does earn me a small reward) bit.ly/3rJf0nL

do you spray your prints to seal them?

[@HeartstoneArt]

I don’t.

[@kimjolleymixed-mediaartist7357]

This! I love your work! Would you mind telling me the exact paper you are using?

[@HeartstoneArt]

Thanks! I think this is Canson XL, but I would recommend using Blick’s own watercolor paper instead.

Did you complete this all in one sitting? Or can you work do some one day and come back to it?

[@HeartstoneArt]

These are all done in one sitting.

[@edgardorozcocampos]

It’s will be good… but anybody knows the kind of things that you are using

[@HeartstoneArt]

Does that matter?
