I spent a bit more time playing with a gel plate at Swansea Print Workshop this afternoon, using a round gel plate, a few pieces of used bubble wrap, Cranfield Safe-Wash Process Cyan relief ink and Extender onto HoSho paper. I overprinted the pieces I’ve done in the last two weeks, mixing very little of the blue pigment into the Extender, to give the red and yellow underneath a chance to shine through. The translucency of the colours allows the colours to mix, so there’s a range of secondary as well as primary colours.
The yellow and red layers were textured with plastic nets (that onions are sold in) and the final blue layer was textured with bubble wrap.
