Wow wow wow!!!! I've never seen anyone break down opacity like this, very useful!!!!! Thanks so much for doing this for us, wow!!!

Wow!! Just this short informative video I learned soooooo much!! Thank you! Tomorrow is a new day with my Gelli plate!

This is such a clear and inspiring video. Thank you.

This is one of the best explanations of how to get the effects you want using transparent or opaque.

Wow. I honestly never really paid much attention to the opacity of the paints I was printing with. Learned a lot from your video. Thank you!

Thank you for your advice and teachings. Just starting and you inspired me thank you

Wow. I’ve got to rewatch this and take lots of mental notes. Love it.

Thank you so much!!! I have been watching videos about gel printing for weeks... I have spent HOURS... and this is the first time anyone has explained opacity vs transparency such that it makes TOTAL sense. Many, many thanks!!!

This is the best explanation of how to get the results you want using transparent and opaque colors. Thank you!!

Thank you for being so clear about which colors are opaque, translucent, etc. in each example. Very helpful!

That was the right information for me ! My prints would be much better if i used the transparency and opacity of the paint, but als the possibility of repositioning the masks or stencils gives huge possibillities. Thanks for this great video.

Beautiful little treasures, Marsha. Thanks for sharing your process.

Great video, as per usual. I really like the way Marsha used the differing opacities of the paints and simple masks to create abstract landscapes.

Thanks so much for this video! I found it extremely helpful to see examples of the different ways to use transparent/opaque paints together. It also explained why my prints may not have turned out the way I thought they would! 🤓

I just find you, and this video is fantastic! I need to save it to watch it again, so useful! I’m a beginner to gel prints and this helps so much. Thank you.

Fantastic tutorial, really enjoyed the video.

Great ideas and prints. Love your masks shapes! You make it look so easy. TFS!

I love this channel! So cool.

Great video!

Really great video, thank you so much for this clear info on paints and viscosity! 👏

So inspiring, I just love them all but the black paper makes such interesting prints! I just can’t get over how many things you can do on a gelli plate, I am new to this tool and I love it! Thanks for an awesome video!💕🇨🇦

Belle démonstration, ludique et pédagogique! Merci pour votre partage!

Very clear, very gifted. A video to go back to and study. Dank U wel.

Thank y9u Marsha for this. Lovely prints. I really appreciated the info about transparent and opaque paints. I wish someone would have mentioned it before.

Thank you so much that’s really really helpful and useful and the prints are really really stunning. Stay safe and well too xxx Mags

Great information. I've been trying to figure out which paint brands offer the widest selections in viscosity and transparency. I bought acrylic high viscosity paint recently from Michael's, Artists Loft, since they had a couple of transparent colors that I wanted. Unfortunately I'm finding it to be very difficult to work with no matter if I water it down a bit or add matte medium. It just doesn't roll out on the plate very well. I might be spoiled since I previously purchased Golden brand Phthalo Blue which is very easy to work with but expensive. I'm also finding the inexpensive craft paints at Michael's such as FolkArt to be surprisingly easy to work with on gel plates.

Love these!

Love your process! I’m curious what you used to tack your masks to your paper?

Love this. What was the "tape" you used to adhere the masks? Thx.

Great !!! Voice-over would be more easy, because you can't watch and read at the same time. Greetings from Germany :-)

You pull a print @5:57 that appears to have a large pair of slightly opened lips just below & to the right of the top circle mask & just above yet parallel to the bottom mask. This is the 2nd time today I watched a video & could CLEARLY make out an image that was so organic on production that those who produced them had no idea lol I hope other ppl can see what I see otherwise I may legit be losing my mind lol

wow toll

Great video, came for the opacity part because I want to partially cover an old drawing, just really wondering what brand that adhesive is and where you get it... (Hihi... Recept voor raapstelen 🤭🤭🤣)

Beautiful. What is your favorite paints to work with. Do you think dylusions will work?

So, judging by the “opaque” colors you use here, there are no completely opaque paint colors, although Titan Green Pale and Teal (both Golden) may be as close as you can get. And by the “squares” on the paint tubes, do you mean the rectangles? One tube had a square and a rectangle, so … ?

heel interessant dan U

Wow❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

Totally nails the conundrum...why some of the consequences of a pull bring joy and sorrow.! Read the label. Learn about the tube of paint first!
