Painting a Flamingo in Acrylic on a Gelli Plate Print!

I recently tried gelli plate printing and it was a blast! I came home with a stack of prints from that day and one of them was this small book page. It was the result of my messy palette I was using to dab my stamps on and my friend’s genius idea to put some red over it and print the palette onto a book page. I had been hemming and hauling over what I wanted to paint on this little print ever since I brought it home. I woke up this morning and it hit me… a flamingo! This is a time lapse of the painting process with an added voice over and soothing music. I really loved this project and hopefully you will, too. I bought a BUNCH of gelli plate supplies (Of course I did!) so I look forward to sharing that with you as I learn that new medium. I can already tell I might want to make an art journal for that, too. (Of course I do!) Find me on social media and follow along as I continue along with this art journey of mine. On my blog, I also mix in a some DIY home projects, a little gardening, some exploring around Maine, and random thoughts and musings from an Artsy Introvert’s mind. blissful-karenclarkcreations.wordpress.com/ www.facebook.com/karenclarkcreations www.instagram.com/karenclarkcreations I’m sharing my personal reference photos here: blissful-karenclarkcreations.wordpress.com/my-refe… Materials I am using: **Liquitex heavy body acrylic paint: White **Golden acrylic pant: Mars Black, Cadmium Red Medium Hue, Alizarin Crimson Hue, Cadmium Yellow Medium Hue **Ruby Satin Silver brushes: ¼” and 3/8” angular and #2 bright **A gelli print on a book page that I think has a plethora of Arteza acrylic iridescent and metallic paints. **5x5 wooden shadow box from Michael’s. **Reference Photo is from Gislane Dijkstra on Unsplash: unsplash.com/photos/flamingo-on-body-of-water-duri… **Music by Pixellicious on Pixabay: pixabay.com/music/modern-classical-soft-piano-musi… **Intro Music is an excerpt of “Unrequited” by Asher Fuler: linktr.ee/asherfulero I do not currently have affiliate links.
