Day 15 30 in 30

I am finally getting a grip on painting in acrylics. I was in the habit of smearing the paint around on the palette like I do in oils, bad habit. They dry and form a film. Now I put each color in a small plastic cosmetic container (1" wide and 1/2+ deep) add a touch of retarder. Keeps them moist.

Collage pieces added to the layers of Gelli printing. This print was really ugly! What will this turn out to be? Now the hard part to choose the masks and try to imagine the negative spaces. Also placing them in the right place on the plate, If not surprise surprise. 

After the mask printing and before editing the image with paint, Better than that ugly above!
