Botanical Prints That Work In Collage: 3 Problems (and Fixes)
If your botanical prints look good on their own—but don’t seem to work once you bring them into a collage—you’re not alone. In this video, I’m focusing on one simple idea: better prints make better collages. I’ll walk you through three common problems I see with botanical gel prints, and how to fix them so your prints are easier to use, easier to layer, and much more effective in your collage work. We’ll look at: • how to get stronger contrast so your prints don’t disappear • how to create larger botanical images using a small plate • how to simplify busy prints so they’re easier to work with These are small shifts in how you approach your printing—but they can make a big difference in how your collage comes together. ________________________________________ If you’d like to go further with tissue prints, you might also enjoy these videos: Tissue Prints: 5 Ways to Improve Your Collage • Tissue Prints: 5 Ways to Improve Your Collage Tissue Prints: Why They Are a Game Changer • Tissue Prints: Why They Are a Game Changer ________________________________________ I also share more ideas, tips, and what I’m exploring in my own studio in my newsletter.
