Thank you, thank you, thank you Marsha!!! I've never understood colour theory as I never took art in school & have never thought I had an artistic bone in my body. A friend who is an artist gave me a colour wheel but it's been like Greek to me. I recently bought a gel plate & an art journal as I want to just play & not have to judge if what I end up with is "good enough". Now I get it! I'm 65 & now I get it. I know I'll be referring back to your video many times.
This is a great demo. In a triad, choose 2 colors. Apply the 3rd layer over the first 2. That is the technique that avoids mud. Printing order makes the difference.
So appreciated, this is by far the best explanation of the colour wheel that I have ever seen.You made it so easy to understand Thank you so much Hugs and Smiles
Beautiful prints! I just taught a gel printing basics workshop and used the same color wheel. I'm in the process of revising the workshop now and was sorto stuck about how to combine the stencil portion with something else. Was thinking ghost prints, but color theory could work, too.
Fantastic! You've explained everything so clearly and easy to understand. Thanks so much for sharing this. Please could you tell me Marsha, what is the best kind of paper for gelli printing? A matt surface or glossy? The weight? Just ordinary copier paper or something else? I really want to get started with gelli printing. I have everything I need but just unsure about paper. Many thanks 😊🌻🧡
Hi Clari! I print on all types of paper. However, my favourite all purpose paper is white medium weight drawing paper. Bristol paper is awesome too, however not as readily available to me locally. For collage I love tissue paper or just plain printer/computer paper. I suggest starting out with what you have at home and see what you like. Even coloured paper can be super fun to print on! Have lots of fun!
I agree with the lady above me, April. It is a keeper this video, collecting all the ones that will most help me...ermmm, thats all of them actually! lol Great job, keep 'em coming. I always look forward to the next instalment. Cant get enough of these videos! XTIBBYX
Hi Carmen! In the video I use plain printer/computer paper because I intend to use these prints for collage work. However, my favourite printing paper is a nice medium weight white drawing paper.
