Comparing Pan Pastels and Makeup on the Gelli Plate 

Thanks so much Becky! I appreciate you watching and your kind comment! 😄

Thanks Dar, it was a challenge to edit but I did learn a few things. I probably should have done my final thoughts with the images placed towards the corresponding side that I placed them in for the split screen 📺 😆

Thanks Von! I think my image transfers were it a bit better (and better explained) in my video from about a year ago (link is in the description). I appreciate your kind comment! 😄

My pleasure! Thanks for watching!

Thanks Shelly! I am so glad you found this video useful! 😄

I am glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching and for your comment 😄

When I have tried to crush up my fairly firm faberCastel “soft pastels” it didn’t seem to get much pigment adhered to the gelliplate. I find the pan pastels so creamy they go on “like butter”. Did you apply to a gelliplate or directly to paper? Did you apply to a gelliplate or directly to paper?

Thanks so much for watching Kathy! I really appreciate it 😄💙

thanks you so much for watching and for your kind comment!

Thanks Michelle! Yes, they are so pigmented and you don’t need to use much. I don’t imagine I will ever run out of the colors I have 😉

I use an app on my Mac called In Shot. I can shrink the main image and then add a Pip (picture in picture). I pre-edit the video for the pip and then edit the main video once I see how the PIP is working. I can also edit the pip video once it is in there. Probably sounds more complicated than it is. There is likely a more professional way to do it but this worked ok.

Thanks so much Christine! I have been wanting to do a video like this for awhile, I was very excited when I found this makeup palette at Shopper’s Drugmart 😉

Thanks so much for watching Joan! Have fun! 😃

Thanks so much Janet! I hope you found the information useful 💖

@@devonrex4 yes - very inspiring xx

Thanks Christy! I hope creators will find it helpful. 😄

Thanks Judy, I am very glad you found this helpful. I have heard the Jane Davenport ones were pretty good (sounds like you don’t have them anymore though).

Thanks for watching Barbara! My pastel sticks didn’t work (they were too hard) but I think there are very soft ones that might. Have fun experimenting!

Thanks for watching! I am glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for watching! 💖

Awesome, let me know how it goes 😄👍 Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching Ana! 😄

Thanks Shannon! 😄

I have tried grinding a bit of the “soft pastel” sticks I have (which are actually pretty hard and would be too sharp to use directly on the gelli plate) and it didn’t work very well, the make up actually worked better. I think there are some softer “stick” pastels that might work ok. I guess you would just have to try it and see how it goes. Thanks for watching!

Yes, the rose pink was opaque and the portrait pink was semi-opaque. I feel your final pull layer can be opaque because it will be on the bottom (closest to the paper) when you pull your print. Sometimes you want it to be a thin layer though (even with opaque paint) if you are trying to pick up everything from the plate. But if you want your paper color to show through you would not use an opaque color generally, for example, if you are using a black paper to pick up then you wouldn’t want to use an opaque white paint as your pick up layer (you may as well just use white paper). I will do pickups with opaque or translucent paint (just depends on what is already on the plate, what paper I am picking up with and the effect I want to achieve and often I just go by feel). I think you need to consider not just the opacity but the contrast in terms of colors and how they interact in layers. I hope that has answered your question. If you want a more technical and comprehensive explanation I would recommend you watch @P.M. Artist Studio (if you don’t already), they are great at explaining their paint choices. Thanks so much for watching Sheila!

Thank you so much, Devon, for this very helpful and comprehensive reply ! I have learned a great deal from your response and greatly appreciate it . Your explanation definitely makes sense . Yes….straight after I watched some of your tutorials, I went on to visit P.M Artist Studio. It was my first visit to their channel and agree it was brilliant ! They definitely do go into everything so thoroughly and I have not watched anyone else quite like them before on RU-vid ! Mariah really does go into the nitty gritty and it is very educational listening to her. Such a lovely Mother and daughter team …very down to earth and humorous. Their website is also excellent with all sorts of extra info. I look forward to watching more of your demonstrations, etc. and also wish you continued success with your channel….it is certainly growing 🥳🥳🎉🎉💕💕

💖💖💖 Have fun on your creative journey!
