Hi, acrylic paint. The brand is sennelier abstract…but any acrylic paint will do.

Aw Chris, thank you!!!!!!! That is so brilliant to hear.

Hi sparklie, always let them dry. I have a better version of this technique too. A bit of baby oil on the cotton bud, the dried paint just glides off.

Hi Emma, thank you!!!!! I have a newer version of this which works better. In my last 5 videos I’m sure. A bit of baby oil on the cotton bud helps it glide.

Thank you amber!!! Me too…it feels like I shouldn’t be a fan of pink, but I am!!!! 😂🥰

Hi cass, thank you!!!! I’ve got a more recent video where adding baby oil to the cotton bud gives a smoother glide. Which is very relaxing to do!!!

Hi Jen, thank you!! I loved these too. They really look good in a simple pocket etc. 🥰

Lots of hugs to you too Britta. I hope you’re well. I’m on the bus to college as we speak. I’m excited to see what arty surprises today brings. You can keep me right if I go off in the wrong direction 😂❤️❤️❤️

Yes!! 2 weeks on Friday. Small family only affair. I’m loving learning about the art. So different to nursing as guidelines much more ambiguous. So much more me Machteld!!! ❤️🌺❤️🌼

Thanks apple!! It’s been a shock to the system rejoining the world, but it was the right time. I think that’s why my back went, lazy muscles 😂🤣😂

Thanks Lydia. I hope you’re well. I wish I could stream it live for you all to join in. That’s the future…I’m not a fan of these online pay for art schools. I’ll be using cool lingo soon hanging about with these youngsters 😂🤣

Hi Jojo, the insurance acts in their own interests but at end of day they are paying. Definitely better my parents had it, I’m just trying to campaign for reform in how they work. Lack of transparency and ownership. I’m so glad you like the video, hopefully it’ll flow better when I’ve done a few. But I would’ve liked this. I watch a lot of museum and university lectures on art on RUclips. One of my favourites is Amy sillman, who is an art teacher but also a famous abstract artist. She makes you think.

Hi ameedah, it’s an embossing tool but I’ve discovered a better method. Cotton buds with baby oil. There is a recent video with black and white thumbnail picture. The embossing tool dragged, but the cotton bud with baby oil glides.

Hi Dorothy, it is. It’s difficult getting my head around the lack of ending. It’s ongoing projects with what I assume will be a different perspective each week. I will keep sharing, I will find a way to do it that is helpful and as clear as I can 🤪😂😊

Never experienced anything like it before Darcy. I couldn’t move!!! Much better now. College is amazing, just trying to work out a way to share on video as it’s kinda ongoing projects, but I’m itching to gel plate 😂 I was watching you this morning to motivate me!! ❤️

Salut Simone, 🌺🌼🌺🌼

Salut simone, tu es le bienvenu 🌼🌼🌼🌼🥰

Hi B, thank you soooo much!!! This has made my day!!!!!!! 😍🥰😍🌼🌺🌼🌺🌼🌺🌼🌺🌷

@@quirkyqueens good, I really enjoyed it and learnt a lot, kind of gave up on it as couldn't get it right after a while so I shall work my way through your video and hope for the best...think the timing of paint and paper is my problem 🤣🤣🥰🥰💐💐💐

@@Truthfully7 that’s the hardest part!!! Temperature, humidity, brand everything plays a part. You do get used to it….promise 😂🤣😂🥰

Hey Barbara, hope you’re good. My back seized last week, I don’t know how you handle it!!!! 🥰

@@quirkyqueens Screaming doesn't help!!! LOL

Hi groovy, this is an old video edited from a full video. I will find the title and reply again. 🌼

@@quirkyqueens Oh thank you! Appreciate that!

@@DeA-ln1vu ruclips.net/video/i4YbH42WETI/видео.htmlsi=E_JvHI21VEI2M95p Making gelli print art with junk mail booklets. I used ikea information leaflets as I like the black lines and the thin paper. I may have used other junk mail. I used a lot of junk mail and book pages when I started gel printing as it gets you used to different papers, the opaque and transparent paints. Plus it’s cheaper as gel printing uses a lot of paper!!!!! 🌺😍

Hi Francesca, this makes me soooooooo happy!!!! Thank you ❤️😁

Hi Christine, thank you!! 😁😁😁

Thanks Machteld, it’s been some week. Definitely no regrets. It’s wonderful to have guidance and structure 🥰🌻🥰

Thanks sherry 😁

Ditto 😊!!

Than you cyber!!! It’s been a brilliant first week, I could sleep for the next week now 😂😁

Hi Dolores, sorry my reply is so late. I love your profile painting. It inspires me!!! I’ve done so much more than I expected to in week 1. It’s been very interesting. We did work with skewers and ink. You can write a lot with them without continually reinking. 😊

Hi Kristine, sorry I’m so late. It’s been an interesting first week. Very tiring but I love it so much. It’s so good to have some guidance and structure. It opens up so much ideas. I’m hoping to do a video this weekend on week 1. The paisley big art show opens tonight. It has a 1000 artworks from the public (3 of them are mine!! 😂). I really liked the cut paper too. I’ve always struggled with collage but it’s because I was overthinking. Random shapes made it do much easier. ❤️

@@quirkyqueens No worries about time - none of us are driven by a phone-shaped remote control, I hope. More art, less interruption is a good goal. Your random shape prints/stamps inspired me to take a brave breath and have a go at making my own from foam and cardboard. It’s great - so freeing. In more ways than one - ink and paint over the place. Thanks so much for that, for replying, and for all of your videos.

Hi Allison, sorry my reply is so late. This was my first week of art college…after living like a hermit for 3 years 😱 This is the best description I’ve read yet and it’s such a compliment. I really like it, it’s fitting 😊🥰

Hi Apple 👋🏻 thank you!! It’s an HNC, live first year of a degree, although may need to repeat first year at university. I love Helen wells too. She’s unashamedly herself. I need some of those giant sketchbooks she uses…they’re definitely bigger than a3 I think, maybe not 🤔 Printmaker festival was great. It was strange to meet social media people 😱😎😂

Hi Jennifer, thank you sooooooooooooooo much!!! 😁😍 I’m looking forward to sharing what we’ve done as I would’ve liked that over the last 2 years I’ve been trying to learn. Im sure it’s out there, it’s just finding the right words to search 😁

Thank you Lydia!!!!! I’m hoping to share so folk can get an idea and maybe help with their own self taught progress. 🩵❤️🩵

Hi Britta!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Yes, I will try be on more frequently. I did get into art college…I start in 5 days 😱🥳 I’m aiming for at least once a week, even if it’s just a round up of what we learned that week. I would’ve liked that when I was trying to teach myself. I hope you’re well dear Britta ❤️❤️❤️

@@quirkyqueens Congratulations, my dear!🥳 These are really good news! I hope you´ll find, what you are looking for 😎 And of course I am looking forward to hear from you more frequently - how you feel, what you´re busy with and so on. / I am as well, as I can be with a 72year old back and knees 🙃

Hi Mel, rarely, I tend to just keep layering and adding. Even with the oil pastels, I’ll pop a layer of mod podge or clear gesso on top so I can add to it.

Hi Maria, thank you!!!!!!!!! I always thought I sounded harsh before RUclips, but I love it now. It’s encouraging to hear it’s liked!! 😁😁😁

Aw Brooke…thank you!! They did the job as I got into the college I wanted. I start a week on Monday 😱🥳 I’ve grew really attached to them too, I love working in them.

Hi Josh, thank you!!!!!! That’s so good to hear. I’ve been adding to the pages over and over the last few days. I’m getting very attached to them, it’s kinda nice to be liking unpolished work.

Aw Vivian thank you, apologies I missed your comment!!! The art whisperer inspired me…it’s great the cycle continues 😍

Thank you, sorry I missed your comment 🫣😍

Hi Veronique, thank you!! You will be a pro at it in no time, it’s a bit addictive!!

Hi Jennifer, thank you!!! I’m glad you have too. I like sharing as I get a lot of ideas and advice back too.

Hi Patti, exactly my thoughts too!!! I like trying everything on it. I love the sliced bread phrase, I use it all the time!!!

Hi Kelly, you are amazing. I’m sorry I took so long to reply, but I didn’t want to give you a generic reply!! I’m so happy to talk to you. I have an interview tomorrow for an hnc that is affiliated to an art school degree. So keep everything crossed for me. I tried to find you on instagram using your profile name here but it’s hard to find. I’d love to follow you on IG. You have given me so much info (I’ve screenshot to keep a record). You sound just as excited about art as I am. I had a look at your channel, but you don’t have arty videos. You’d probably get about 50 out of what you’ve told me. I do plan to continue with RUclips when I’m at college but probably in a more chat and show way, like a vlog with sketchbook tours type. Kelly, please let me know your IG or fb or TikTok (I’ve ran out of social media I know). I really like masks, I’ve got a few books (just cheap on eBay) so I can be inspired. Also Charles rennie mackintosh, Glasgow school of art, which is what I’m aiming for next year!! Anyway, hope to chat soon and thank you so much again ❤️

To share your expert knowledge in the way you have was a generous thing to do ..thank you. Curious Beginner 😊

I knew you’d said about the similarities, I was looking in the other comment, thinking she definitely said that!! I found a cleaner version of this using cotton bud and a bit of baby oil. Less raggedy though. I’ve recently done some paper pulp making on top of linocuts. Unfortunately it dried more like an egg carton…more blending and water needed. I love colourful big rough art, I’m currently obsessing over Amy sillman. 😁😁😁😁

I really hope you’re on IG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Mara, 13 days and I’ll officially be a student. The excitement is like Christmas as a kid. I reckon at least a pound for the rime 😂😎). If I lose the playful spirit I will stop. I can’t let art become a chore 😢 And my parents appreciate all the love they’ve received. I think the kindness of people has been the silver lining in all this for them. ❤️

Hi Mike, sorry for the late reply. I hate generic replies. I set time aside to properly reply, so it can be a bit delayed sometimes. I’m in East Kilbride. My husband to be (in a month) is from Bathgate. I love the gel plate, I found painting and drawing quite daunting as it always felt like I was failing. I also think the gel plate has given me much more insight into abstract art (which is my preference to realism). I’m starting an HNC in art this month and hope to get to Glasgow art school next year. We shall see….im nearly 50 trying to prove dreams can come true 😂🩵💛
