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 my large gel plate over the portrait portion of this image, and then peeled it away after a minute or so. This reveals an image on the gel plate, where the oil pastel has resisted the paint absorption into the paper. I then scrape away the residual paint from the oil pastel to reveal the final image.
Sold Framed.
