You applied good fairly idiotproof methodology and got the result. I was surprised at how much neutral paint stayed on the plate yet the lift worked. Letting the paint dry is clearly a big help.

Yes, it takes practice to figure out how much paint to use also. Overdo it and it sometimes doesn’t lift well.

It’s so weird-or serendipitous- that I tried the same kind of experiment today….but used a realistic drawing of a bird on a branch as my base……and thinking backwards in how one paints - and doing so successfully is by far the hardest part. I had transferred a graphite / charcoal pencil drawing of my subject on tracing paper to the plate first, then coloured it in with acrylics. I did the head area and branch area with glaze medium and acrylic and found those two areas held much more definition than heavier applied areas,so think I will use a lighter hand with paint in future. Let the plate dry 6 hours before I lifted with transparent white onto parchment paper,and,indeed, the heaviest applied paint stuck onto the plate…A learning curve …but fun!

Ooh parchment paper sounds cool. I will add that to my list of materials to try.

If your'e not comfortable drawing on the plate, you can put a line drawing or reference photo under the plate.

i think of it like an upside down pineapple cake. The first paint on the plate will be on the top of the pulled print.

Good way to think about it!

That is exactly how I tried to explain the process to a friend …but I said upside down apple cake instead of pineapple…and she immediately understood 🤗🤗
