I am excited to watch this. I bought all the Dr PH Martin sets because the packaging showing off all the delicious colours at once in that lovely circle just got my juices flowing. I have had them for years and never opened a single bottle. Now I know what to do with them. They have settled a lot so it will take a bit of mixing to restore them but I can’t wait to use them. The transparency of the colours without mixing together is amazing. Thanks so much for this.

Some utube channels where the artists are so skilled make me feel inadequate. But you and Betty Franks make me feel confident as its a technique that is easy to follow and anybody can do so thanking you.

Jackie your enthusiasm is contagious! Great session

I think I enjoy watching your facial expressions as much as I enjoy watching you make art! I haven't used my acrylic inks a lot, but I do like to make collages of mountain landscapes using my gel plate made papers. Looking at your transparencies gave me the idea of doing the same thing with my landscapes. It will be a great effect to have so many translucent layers. I like to add water to the inks then use them as a glaze. Thanks for these lessons!

You. Need. A. Happy. Dance. Those prints are ALL the rage. Here in my heart…😂😂😂😂😂

I just love how you show us the experiments in real time! All such fantastic ideas. Thank you Jackie!🤩

Oh my! I think this is one of my favorites of your videos! I have TONS of acrylic ink but I haven’t played with them. I’m so inspired!

What fun! Thanks for sharing your creative talents.

Very cool seeing how the transparency worked on this one!

Love using my ink on the gel plate! Love this video! Can't wait for the workshops!!!!

Oh my a lot of goodness going on 😊 I’m definitely going to try this. Thank you!

Oh my dear! You were serving a colorful meal today 🍉🫐🍑 - or a bath. I was so excited watching your process and smiling and laughing with you and your smile and joy 🥳. I loved the result of the layering in your artjournal. An explosion 🌋 of color - but in a subtle way though. Great job, my dear. Pity, that the quality of the giant print was not transported so clearly to my laptop. Nevertheless: You inspired me to use my inks and I know the feeling, when material I hoarded "looks" at me and even "screams" at me to finally use it. I think many of your viewers know that too. So thank you so much for supporting my inks in their wish to come alive 😇 . Have a nice weekend, Jackie 🦋. Britta

Very inspiring and fun to watch!

LOVE!!! Especially the layering section. So inspirational.

Hello, Painted Paper Queen 👑! So lovely watching you having an exciting play date with your acrylic inks! I'm as happy as you to see that you could layer all your papers without creating a hot mess. What a delight that the patterns underneath multiple layers were still visible. Visually exciting & creating such an amount of depth 👌! Aloha from Berlin & happy weekend ❤🧡💛💚💜

Inspiring as ever with gorgeous effects Jackie 😍 I’m in the process of ordering a mini and round gel plate to add to my A4 size and have been playing with acrylic inks and fountain pen inks as I love the watery effects they create. Looking forward to your workshop release too.😊 Thank you Jackie 🙏🏻🤗🙏🏻

You’re so playful and talented! I love this. So inspiring. ❤

That was seriously fun Jackie! I can't wait to try.

When I retired and started my foray into color, texture, etc acrylic inks were an early favorite and I still love them. One way is mixed in liquid matte medium.

Love, love, love - really gave me some great ideas. Hope an in-person workshop is in your future

Haven’t played much with the inks but AGAIN, you have spurred me on!

Yummy results❤

I have always worked with opaque created papers so your emphasis on transparency is very helpful... I do my layering before I put it on canvas....

Wow! This was amazing! I'll have to try this.

Thank you sooo much for this experimentation video. I bought some acrylic inks and have been hesitant to use them. I will break out my Gelli plate tomorrow and get inking…….can’t wait!❣️

I have one of those huge gel plates too...and rarely use it. You've inspired me to get it out soon!

These were beautiful. Interesting to know that the medical exam paper turns out so transparent. I took an art course years ago and we were taught to make monoprints, which is basically the same thing you are doing with a gel plate. We just taped some plastic (we probably used plastic bags, because we were taught how we could do things inexpensively) down to our table and laid paint down like you did on the glassine, and then laid art paper on top to pick up the print. So perhaps you could try plastic instead of the glassine when you don't want it to buckle. There are so many cool ways to do art, and I love what you showed us here. Art can be so much fun, and can be done without a huge cost outlay. My very favourite tissue came in some packaging. I have no idea what it is, but I have had so much fun using it! Thanks, Jackie!

If you roll out gel medium over your gel plate before you apply the acrylic ink it won’t bead up at all. I like using matte medium but it works with gloss too. I usually use acrylic inks on tissue paper. I lay it out onto plastic sheets or even parchment paper, then I spray it with water or even tea for a vintage look and then I drip and splatter ink from the dropper. Or sometimes I add air brush medium or pouring medium to the ink and then drizzle and drip it onto the dry tissue paper to give it a different texture and look. I’ve also used gel prints (also in tissue) to do these techniques so that I could have a partially obscured pattern or image underneath the layers of acrylic ink. It’s really endless what you can do. I haven’t access to wet strength tissue paper, so I have only ever done these techniques using the plastic sheets behind the tissue paper to support it while it’s wet, and I think that the tea bag paper would be really fun to try this technique with next time I try it.

Jackie I would love for you to do some minimal prints on the large gel plate❤️❤️

Loved this video Jackie, great experiment, I must get some medical exam paper and have a go ❤

Your pull looks amazing! Love that. I’ve set aside my gel plate goodies for your direction. It’s Exciting. I’ve joined your mailing list so look forward to that.

I have been using painted tissue paper to create landscapes for quite a while-May add sewing machine lines once in awhile too. I can send some photos-but what do hit to send them? Love your posts-even though I’ve been doing it for a long time-I learn new things every time.

I'm off to buy some more inks as I only have a few and was not sure if I would use them. Now I know, I will!

Hi Jackie! Have you experimented like this with alcohol inks? I'm eager to explore their use!

"I just really love to paint paper." I'm with you there! So meditative and therapeutic. Question: Do you wipe off or set in water your brayers after each application? Or do you let it build up? Thanks!

The Concord and 9th white ink is a pigment ink rather than a dye ink. That's why it acted differently. I enjoyed this video very much thank you !

Better late than never for me to see this one, Jackie! I am just now able to watch this fun, fantastic and highly informative video! As usual, your joy and enthusiasm make my day, or night, as it were. : )). I saw an ocean scene with lots of orange Koi-like fishies enjoying all the floating yellow sea "stuff" around them! Also, I have always wondered why you have a studio "uniform", and it finally dawned on me that we viewers can never tell what day you are creating since you always have the same thing on!! Brilliant idea, bravo ~ bravo ~ bravo ~ my dear one! xoxoxoxo

This looks like SO MUCH fun!!❤ Do you have links for wet strength tissue paper AND the medical exam paper??? Thanks for this visual delight Jackie!!

have you ever tried alcohol ink on the gel plate?

It seems to me that if you didn't have glassine (so?) paper or a gelli plate that you could use your palette paper as the base and get the same or similar effect?

I was so excited to see this week’s video as I have been debating between buying more acrylic inks vs acrylic paints for some colors missing in my palette…the one factor was how I could use the inks (which I prefer in general) on the gel plate. The air brush medium is a game changer….wow! Do you think it would have the same impact with Golden high flow paints on the gel plate? Do you have any idea if Pouring Medium would work in place of the AirBrush medium?

Have you tried giving it a quick wash with a tiny bit of dawn?

That ink is really beautiful when it’s layered! I can’t wait to try this. I love your happy expressions and obvious joy! Have you used rice paper? If so, how does it compare to the medical exam paper? It looks like it behaves the same but I bet it’s way cheaper. I have Acrylic Inks and used them once but didn’t really know how.

Is medical exam paper similar to deli paper, with one waxy side? Thanks for answering all these questions!

Ordered airbrush medium. I have a slew (& I mean a skew) of deli paper. Can I try using them in place of wet strength tissue paper until I’m all out? I also have tracing paper, regular tissue paper & medical exam paper too so I’ll try it all! So excited. (Its almost midnight EST & all I want to do is sneak out of the bed, go into my studio and produce! Best to wait until morning coffee is up😁)

Wowee!! Gorgeous textures! Love how free and experimental this session is. I’ve wanted a gel plate forever I just don’t have the space for it. Perhaps I need to move furniture around to fix that because it looks like you are having so much fun. The plates are expensive too, I think. Do they last long?

Do you have videos on what you do with the beautuful papers you create? I saw the 3 veggie one.

Great workshop Jackie! I have ink sprays…is that the same? Also liquid watercolours …..hmmmmm😊

The air brush medium! I would never of thought! What else do you use it for?

Do you prefer the crepe or smooth surface Medical Exam Paper?

So many great ideas! I keep buying acrylic ink but hardly ever use it. Great idea to wet the paper between the gel medium. I was curious how you made the paper so transparent. Just ordered some exam paper so I can give this a try. BTW, love the “flair” when that alcohol popped off 😍 5:55

Have you tried toilet seat covers. The paper to cover seats in public restrooms 👍

Jackie, wonderful video! I used your link to the medical paper and noticed that it is “crepe” texture, not smooth. Amazon does carry the smooth textured one too. Do you prefer the crepe for some reason?

Wonderful inspiration! I’ll have to give my acrylic inks a whirl. BTW is that plastic needlepoint canvas under your gel plate? Doesn’t it leave grid marks on the plate? Always looking for something to put under mine that helps it become more mobile…

Is there a reason fluid gloss medium is better than fluid matte medium? I'm trying not to buy too many mediums, like I did in my early days, and now have containers of EVERYthing laying around for years with no idea what's better, best, and what's unnecessary. Thanks!

I JUST NOW in today’s mail received’Amazing Gel Prints’ by Elizabeth St. Hilaire. Great book for beginners. It does not however include Acrylic ink as a medium so thanks Jackie for sharing! One thing though, I heard the inks stain your plate? If so, having one designated plate for inks may be a good idea. Can you or anyone discuss this issue?

Where do you get all these papers from?? And where can you buy a big gelli plate from?? As I live in Oz and cant find a place to buy them. Or they are sold out.

Jackie have you ever tried Mica Powders on the gel.plate

👍❤️🤗

Hi Jackie, there was a video of yours that I watched a long time ago that had a unique paint that looked like rust when you used it. I cannot find that video for the life of me! Can you either direct me to the video, or remind me the name of the product please?? Thanks!

the hungry caterpiller is there

Jackie, you went black.

You can’t be serious
