Jelly art, also known as "crystal" art, has emerged as a captivating art form that combines the vibrant hues of jelly and the intricate techniques of painting. Its alluring, translucent quality creates a captivating visual experience, making it a favorite among artists and art enthusiasts alike.
Jelly art is a form of painting that utilizes gelatin as the primary medium. The gelatin is mixed with pigments to create vibrant colors and poured onto a canvas or other surface. As the gelatin sets, it creates a smooth, transparent layer that allows light to pass through, resulting in a stunning stained glass effect.
