Get an amazing result regardless of your skill level with this gel plate mono print workshop. The clear gel plate acts as a transparency over the image allowing you to extract the subject using rich layers of color. You will learn the process and color application in an encouraging atmosphere while being introduced to new products and techniques. We will be using landscapes as references. Students will walk away with a completed project. All skill levels welcomed. We will be using Gel Press gel plates, Ampersand Claybord panels and GOLDEN OPEN acrylics. We will provide 2 choices for you to use as a reference. You can choose the one image that resonates most. Email micahgoguenart@gmail.com with questions or concerns
