Using another gesture drawing as a #monoprint painting prompt.

I tucked it into a clear plastic sleeve and then popped the #gelliprint plate over it, and did a lines paint over.

Trying to use smaller lines and more saturation first, and when that dries, hit it with wider brushes and less saturated color.
In progress monoprint painting; with acrylic colors. A lot of orange and blue and yellow visible.In progress painting with broad palette knife strokes in green and yellow and purple.The painting smooshed to paper under a stack of books

The marks and color came out nice, but the cars are flattened by the photo graphics’ mid tones. Next time I might try drawing over with acrylic markers to do fine detail in the foreground.

The finished print framed in a glass sandwich style floater frame. The print is off register / not perfectly aligned in the center of the paper, and also at a slight angle.The first layer of the gelli print laser printer photo transfer in dark green. The gelli plate is on a cutting mat, itself taped to a workbench

Voting was pretty strong for this Havana street for the #monoprint for my spouse, here’s a #WIPWednesday from photo to transfer to foreground paintover so far.

#gelliprint

The source material / inspiration is this 2003 travel photo of a couple of cars driving past some chatting neighbors on a Havana, Cuba streetThe gelliplate after having pulled a green/black print of the photo. I scraped back the sky and some other places with a stiff dry brushThe gelli plate with an inverted color photo laser print of the image tucked behind it.

The cars and street have been painted over and foreground items like the lamppost are getting developed tooMore progress including a solid street paint over the details

It came out pretty good, I think.

I went back and touched up a couple of small peel flecks. No big tears tho.
