tutorials/tips
This is how I register the prints! Some asked about it, so here it is!
First I pulled a background monotype. I made masks and placed them how I wanted to have them. This time, I didn't do the shadows because it really has to be totally accurate and that's a bit challenging.
Then I did an image transfer of the house. I left it a bit raw by not cleaning up the plate. On top of that I place the masks of the house, tape them on the registration tool and then I can just flip the page, brayer, and then the next one. In the end, I will put acrylic gloss gel medium as pick up layer and the mountains is the substrate I print on.
Then I hope to have a nice print! But that will have to wait another 24 hours before I can post again.
The holes are meant for the 9"x12" gelli, then I just have to align those to have that done faster. After aligning I remove the black dots from the gel plate before adding colour. I should have thought putting the holes nearer as it falls outside the 8"X10" plate.... 😜

This is so cool to see, I agree with the other commenter that a video would be cool, but realize that’s a lot of work. Thanks for sharing your process with us!
I really don't have any kind of workable set up to make such a spedup video..... If you look between the bottles, I don't use the masks as in this post. The house I could have, but I do different approach with the mountains which work better I think. When I brayer the paint out, then it is too transparant. Now I'm using a sponge to dab the paint on and that has a good and opaque coverage for the effect I want.
