Nice prints Joan.! Hard to see the name of the colors though. Maybe if you can mention it at the beginning of video or put them in the description box will be helpful. .
Thank you for your message, I really appreciate it. I have added the product names and the colours to the description, apologies for missing that out when I first posted the video. Thank's once again 😊
Hi, rhanks so much for trying to help us with layering. I watched your video re tips for layering - can i clarify tho, are u saying to start with opaque colour, then add semi transparents from light to dark? Yoy seemed to say that adding an opaque colour at the end made for duller prints, so do u think we shud use semi transparent as final layer, or is it about thw colour u choose, or both😮😂 thanks!!!
Thanks for the question, I'll try my best to answer it LOL. The more I use the Gelli Plate the more I discover new ways to produce textured paper..... sometimes things work, other times I end up with a disaster. I don't have any hard and fast rules I follow and each time I use the Gelli Plate I change the order of things to see what results I get. I try not to follow any particular rules (I was always known as a rule breaker in the photographic world LOL). I think what I am saying is..... follow your intuition and go with the Gelli Plate flow. Find out what works for you, be careful when mixing paints so that you don't get mud... unless you want to make mud of course !!!! Adding an opaque colour as your final colour could/will "dull" the textured paper down, but sometimes a small opaque pattern is just what the final print needs, it really all depends on what YOU want. Change your order of paints/transparencies and work through any problems and don't ever EVER give up, it's so much fun,....... and soooooooo frustrating LOL.
I watched this video earlier, you’ve created some beautiful prints, enjoyed watching you😊
Thank you that’s extremely kind. I’m thrilled that you like the videos and have made many more. Thanks again 😊
