I have been painting on and adding medium texture to my prints for nearly ten years - I just happened upon this video. Thank you so much for sharing. For me digital painting is the first step - I like the added embellishments.
Good on ya for being so thoroughly sharing. We digital artists sometimes struggle to keep the momentum going, and any knowledge we can share towards creating marketable artwork is a great gift. You are obviously dedicated to succeeding and I admire that.
I'd love to try this! Do you still use these products & this method? I only ask because the video is at least 3 years old, and I really couldn't find a sample of this through your Etsy link. Thanks for all the awesome tutorials. I'm a traditional artist, but switched to digital 3 years ago. I've learned a tremendous amount from you! Keep up the great work! - JR
I also use this technique on canvas (ink-jet) prints. For canvas, there is a coating that you use to essentially seal the pigment/ink to the canvas so that the gel sits on top of it. I really need to know how to embellish additionally with acrylic paints and mixed media. Do you have any videos that cover painting on top of the print?
I'm wondering how this would go with an inkjet print if fixative and a sealing spray was used first... hmmm... you're giving me ideas... :-D Thanks for doing what you do.
Hey, this was great and very informative. I was wondering if this could work on canvas prints? I'm a photographer and I take portraits. I have been able to turn my photo's into digital oil paintings... once I print on canvas, i want to add this to give it that real oil painting feel. Would it work with canvas?
So when you put the acrylic get medium on it, how do you sell that digital art on etsy? Do you have to make another listing? Or same listing just add a photo with the medium? Or would that be too confusing for the shopper?
+Hol ly Would It takes time to dry. A week to a month or longer depending on how thick you applied it. The other reason could be that you chose a Matte gel or a gel that is Semi-Opaque rather than fully transparent. Gloss is typically more transparent.
Fascinating and looks pretty easy. But can't believe we didn't get to see the finished product after it dried!!
I am a digital artist and I'vd been wondering what to do with it and this video has really broadened my horizons, thanks.

Would have loved to have seen the finished product.
I have seen this done with large prints. I wanted to see how they did it and i found this video, thank you!
This was great! Exactly what I learned years ago in photography school but had forgotten about it. I will definitely be using this technique.

thank you- this is EXACTLY what I have been looking for. My only difference is my print is on a huge canvas.

What is the coating? I have ink-jet prints on which I would like to use this technique.
So what do you call this coating, please?
Do you dip the brush in water first before you mix with the gel? thanks!
In other videos, they do dip the brush in some water before the gel.

Can we Varnish with a roller after the embellishing on the Giclée Print?
Where do we buy these embellished acrylic gel Art?
what is the fine brush made of? Nice brush.
We need to see final product!
I wanted to see the end result.

Yes. It works on canvas as well. Just about any surface.
You don't have to spray something on the canvas? Thanks :)
Mark A I think from what I've read, you need archival canvas. I think it's coated first but I could be wrong.
Very good but did I miss something? Did you show us what it looked like after it dried?
+G. Celentano there are examples on my etsy page. There's a link in the description.
Can we just check the result somewhere?

What about copy wrights on photos?
You should of used double sided tape for underneath the picture.
Have you ever embellished a print on canvas?
Yes. It works well
@@aaronrutten Do you need a protective coating, to prep before adding the gel? And if so, what is it called, please?
Looking for the end result....not shown, really?
Dried???
Eternal
It is almost like cheating when you didn't use actual paint. lol
Why wouldn't you show us a shot of the piece after it's dried? Then we can get a better appreciation for the effect.
I applied this (a very thin coat) to a photo printed on slate and it did not dry clear :(((
Any ideas why??
