Gelli Arts ® - 3 ways of printing with leaves by Birgit Koopsen

Watch Birgit as she demonstrates how to print with leaves with a Gelli Arts® printing plate. She demonstrates three different techniques. First she creates a bunch of colorful backgrounds with the new Gelli Arts® premium acrylic paints. Then using darker colors, she covers the plate with paint, lays leaves on top of the paint and covers with paper and presses with her hands. She then removes the leaves and places one of her printed backgrounds on top of the leaf prints and pulls the print. In her second technique she applies darker colors to the plate, then places her leaves on top and covers and presses with her hands over the leaves. She then removes the leaves and prints on the same background she just removed. In her third technique she applies bright colors to the plate, places leaves on top of the paint, then pulls a print by pressing with her hands. She removes the leaves and then applies a thin layer of white paint to the plate and pulls the entire print. It's gorgeous!! We can't wait for the leaves to come back so we can keep printing leaves!!

Hello from Australia 🥰🍁🍂🦘🦘🦘Autumn leaves are everywhere here in Adelaide & I just purchased my first Gel plate yesterday! Can't wait to get my paints, brayer, papers & leaves, stencils, textured ribbons, corrugated cardboard etc. & create amazing prints to use as backgrounds on some card fronts. Thank you so much for sharing!🥰🙏👍

[@christinesmith989]

Fabulous results! I have leaves I have collected, my Gelli plate and paints - after watching this I am inspired to give it a try! Cool video, thank you! xxx

[@kellihull7600]

My goodness! Your color combinations are STUNNING!!!!!! This is where novices drools

[@ianbertram2081]

I love the subtle combinations of colours on the prints in this video. I've made leaf prints on a press before and found you can also take prints from the ink on the ;eaves after you remove them or you can even ink them up as if they were the plate.

Wow, so many ways to print leaves. I use leaves to print a resist on silk, then dye the leaves, then the background and sprinkle it with salt, as you can see. I've never seen it done on a Gelli plate.
