Описание: I built an app for artists who want real critique and advice - see it here - https://apps.apple.com/eg/app/art-cri... This video demonstrates the technique of using masks in printmaking for creating contrast. We'll use a gelli plate for varied textures, yupo paper for durable backgrounds, and an acetate sheet as a precise mask. We'll cover setting up materials, applying the mask, and finalizing the print, offering practical tips for each step.
