Sunday is and is bringing the beach to YOU - no matter where you are in the world!🏖️

A natural sponge is the perfect tool for creating the look of a sandy beach. Choose two sand-coloured acrylic paints. Use the darkest for the first layer and the lightest for the pick-up layer.

The hexagon Gelli Arts® Mini Printing Plate is super fun to use as a jumping-off point for creating beach umbrellas.

Design your parasol patterns using your favorite pencils, pens and markers!

I didn’t expect gel plate monoprinting to become such a big part of my creative practice. But more than a decade after first trying it, I’m still learning from the process. I’ve been thinking about why it has held my attention for so many years - not just as a technique, but as a way of workin...

💡🎨 Artist Tip: Soft Pastel Sticks Aren’t Just for Drawing!

By Birgit's Studio - Mixed Media Workshops and Product Design

Did you know that you can use soft pastel sticks to transfer texture to your gel plate?

Just take a textured item like a wooden block stamp (as Birgit is using), or try a piece of lace, textured cardboard, leaves, and more.

Rub the surface with a soft pastel stick, making sure to cover all the details. Tap off any loose powder, then “stamp” your texture onto the gel plate. This creates beautiful blended colors with a soft, dreamy feel.

Roll out a thin layer of acrylic paint and use any paper you like to pull the print.

✨ Note: Pastel stains left on the gel plate can be cleaned with a bit of (baby) oil.

Products used:
• Gelli Arts® 5x7 Gel Printing Plate
• Gelli Arts® Mini Placement Tool
• Speedball soft rubber brayer
• Acrylic paints
• Any type of paper
