Design Texture: Shellac 2

Video Transcript

"But that is what you know, it's the quick way to make a, a linear kind of design. Again I remind you that ink comes in different colors so you're not restricted to black by any means. This is permanent, you can't lift it up or anything but it is a fun way to go. Now if you work on, you can get a stronger separation if you work on a smoother surface. This is foam core and it comes with a very shiny plastic sort of surface and so I'm going to put Shellac on that. This will see on, on the more plastic the surface of course the less that, the, the more the Shellac is going to stay. It's not going to soak in and it's not going to get dry quite as fast. And it's going to sit on the surface and sometimes that works better for your ink and you can try putting it in thick. You know there's nothing to say that you can't start designing you know by how you put this on. Look what that's doing there, that's really kind of cool. Let me see if I can you know, I might not be able to get that to happen again because this is all you know it's how dry the Shellac is and Shellac does dry very quickly It's dry in like five, five minutes or so. So these are ways you know to again work very loosely with, with ink and start to you know create textures that can then work you know as a basis for other work."
