Crayon Resist Gel Printing

Create beautiful distressed textures on the gel plate using stencils and wax crayons. Gelli Arts® artist Birgit Koopsen loves this technique because of the lovely distressed textures it makes and you can combine as many stencils together as you like. Birgit is using Gelli Arts® stencils. You can find them in our shop at www.GelliArts.com. Letting the first layer dry before adding the next/pick-up layer is crucial. Birgit used wax crayons but any wax or oil-based crayons will work. #gelliarts #gelplate #printingplate #monoprinting #printmaking #gelprinting #gelliplate #artteacher
