Description
This image uses a resist technique involving oil pastel, which I apply to the print paper before introducing on to the gel plate. Because the oil pastel is oil based the paint in between the oil pastel and the gel plate resists the absorption into the paper, and remains on the plate. I then placed one of my medium gel plates over the portrait portion of this image, and then peeled it away after a minute or so. Once the paint is dry I then scrape away the excess paint covering the oil pastel, revealing the image. The teal aspect of the image against the foreground ultramarine blue gives rise to this pieces title.
Sold Framed.
