Gel printing with transparent paints. In this video, I discuss how to use transparent paints on the gel plate. Using transparency on the gel plate takes some practice, but gel printing with transparency is a skill that will help unlock your art making genius!
I’m Jennifer Akkermans, a mixed media visual artist who specializes in Intuitive Printmaking with acrylics on a gel plate. I’m known for bright, bold colors, playful patterns, and a love of happy accidents. I design my own stencils, and I can’t resist using found objects to add unexpected texture.
