Oh hey, you mention that certain colors seem to pull prints better than others. Have you ever tried pulling with Folk Art brand paints? Their matte and multi-surface paints no matter the color, pull prints beautifully. Also the chalk paints. The chalk paints have incredible opacity, too. But I have yet to purchase a Folk Art brand paint I didn't like. And JoAnn's frequently has them at 4 for $5.00. It's a good way to get a color you love at a price where you can use the paint with wild abandon. I can't believe I never hear anyone talking about them. The Golden Fluid paints are good for applications that require no wait time, because they dry at the speed of light. I like using the heavy body with a little drop of hi-flow medium mixed in or some of the fluid and heavy body mixed. They are so pigmented that adding any of the mediums to them has very little effect on intensity of color and opacity.
These days I sticking with paints I also like to paint with. My favorites are still Golden Fluid for painting and gel printing. I'm limited with space so I don't want to go crazy and stock up on paints. Maybe someday I'll try them.
I use Paynes Grey a lot in my water colour paintings and just love it. I will have to get some acrylic now as well. Really liked your colour combinations today. Thank you for sharing.
The print at 10:35 just rocks my world! Thank you so very much for your channel. I am a newby. All this great instruction - wow! This particular monoprinting method is really speaking to me. Thanks again!
I thoroughly enjoyed this gel plate session! I've always loved Payne's Grey and your new color combinations made me go shopping for some new to me colors. I've had my eye on Titan Green Pale for a while now and this video just convinced me to get a bottle. I also ordered Primary Magenta, which is also new to me. Can't wait for my order so I can try out these for myself! Thanks bunches for your beautiful art, your generous heart in sharing techniques and your major efforts involved in making these videos! Hugs for now💖
❤ hello from British Columbia Canada ❤Payne's gray...prussian blue, alizarin crimson and yellow ochre. So that if you use one of these root colours, it will automatically relate together
Love your color combinations! So much fun. I do tons of botanicals, and have found vast differences in Paynes Grey paints. My all time fav Paynes Grey is Amsterdam (standard, not expert) and I have several brands. Have you ever tried dental floss on the gel plate? The dental tape (very thin) is so much fun!
I don't know why I never used it before. I've only been painting with acrylics for 50 years. LOL. It just never appealed to me before now. It's a beautiful color.
I love the way you mix the colors - combos I never would have thought of but look great! Thanks for listing all of them; time for me to do some shopping!
I liked all of these, even the ones you weren’t crazy about. That “grunge” look achieved when the plate accumulates layers of colors really sends me. 💛 My favorite was actually the last one you showed, with large areas of titan green pale with the little “fishes” of Quinacridone magenta. Beautiful!
Thanks so much! Yes, they did look like fishes. Usually the prints I'm so so on are the ones I like to use in collages. That's why I don't through anything away. There is always something there that can be used.
At the time I was using a piece of Plexi under my plate and it would slide all over. I hated that so I would tape down the plexi to the table. The plate sticks to the table naturally so I stopped doing that.
You will have better luck with your registration if you anchor your plate to something that doesn’t move. Both your plate and the paper need to stay in the same position.
Yes, I am aware. I shot this shortly after moving into my new studio and I was not very organized. Not set up as I usually am. I don't know why it is taking me so long to get settled into the new place. Thanks for watching and commenting. I really do appreciate it.

Thanks for the suggestion.
That was really interesting! Thanks so much for sharing. (Also beautiful colors you used!)
Thank you so much! It was a fun video to make.
Favorite colors are hard to leave behind. I try to use one or two of them and add challenge colors out of my comfort level ... with mixes results.
I agree. It's very hard. But this is turning out to be a good exercise for me. New Studio, new colors. LOL

Great idea! I'm sure I will like that.
I absolutely LOVE Payne's grey and it's one of my neutrals almost all the time!

another mixed media artist that i follow likes white sulphite paper. i haven't tried it yet, but i ordered fro, amazon.
Sounds interesting. I'm always looking for new papers.
beautiful combos -- you mentioned taping down your plate to keep is from moving. - how would you do that? THX
