Thank you, Cam for watching and for sharing this with me - it means so much to me 🥰

LOL - I might be better over coffee 😂 Thank you so much for powering through so many of the videos - you're a champ! 🥰

@@PaintedPaperStudio I only found you recently. I'm enjoying your videos.

Awwwww - thank you Andrea 🥰

You're very welcome! 🥰

You're welcome, Deb! Have fun with the color study. 🥰

I have to admit, Bee - these colors together have been my favorite color combo this year. Why didn't I know how wonderful Diarylide Yellow is before now?! 🥰

Sherry! Thank you so much for being here and taking the time to let me know that you enjoyed the color study. I bet a bracelet made of the colors would be just gorgeous! 🥰

Thank you, Catherine - these colors have me revved up for sure. I can't wait to start a larger piece with them. Thank you so much for always being so supportive. 🥰

Thank you, Dave! I haven't played with printer's inks but have always wanted to try - do you have a recommended brand that you use? I love the idea of getting 2-3 impressions!

Awesome, Joy! 🥰

If some purple finds its way in celebrate it 😜. I'm so happy you're here and thank you for your kind words. 🥰

You're welcome Susan! I love that you're willing to try something that might stretch you creatively...you may love it, or hate it, but for sure you'll learn something new. Have fun with it. 🥰

Thank you, Kelly! I'm so happy this color study worked for you 🥰

Jackie - thank you so much for your very kind words! I adore your Glitter Grandma handle - - my grandson calls me "Gammy" - it makes my heart melt every time 🥰

You're welcome! 🥰

Thank you very much, Happy! These colors have me so revved up - I'm not sure how I'm ever going to use others...but this is how I am...I'm a serial color lover 🤣😂🤣 Thank you for coming back 🥰

Hi Cindy - it's so much fun, right?! So happy to see you here again 🥰

Really nice to see you, Britta! I love the color apricot too and was so surprised that we got there with these colors. Great idea about the easel - I've given it a lot of thought, but I'm still trying to see if someone can figure out a wall system that's sturdier. What I'm really trying to do is get everything off the floor in the studio. Between the work table, camera and lighting equipment and supplies - the floor of my studio has become somewhat dangerous. Hopefully I'll have it all figured out soon. Now go and let your inner child play with some paint! 🥰

I am so happy the colors are connecting with your Aloha spirit, Queen! 🥰

You're welcome, and thank you so much for watching. 🥰

You're welcome, Nathalie. I can't wait to see what you do with it 🥰

Thank you, Lynn - that means so much to me 🥰

Dede - thank you. I have so much fun when I'm "working" it's really hard to stop myself. Thank you for being here. 🥰

You're welcome, Karen - I hope you jump right on it 🥰

You're welcome and thank you for always having such kind words, Fran! 🥰

And I hope you caught it, Jo! Seriously though, I get so excited when creating - it's like it tickles a part of my brain that creates joy. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to reach out. 🥰

Fantastic Julie - I hope the template serves you well. 🥰

Heather - this makes me SO happy to hear! GO and have some fun 🥰

Great way to put it, Annie! And that is a trip that would be fun to make 😍

Thank you, Brittany! 🥰

Thank you for being here, Clarise. 🥰

Wonderful Gina - thank you for watching!

Fantastic tip, Carol! If it's ok with you, I'd like to share it. Thank you for taking the time to watch the video and comment here.

Thank you, Fernanda. It get's so interesting when you start playing with colors. 🥰

Hi Cindy - great to see you again! I was just so surprised by the neutral palette. Thanks for taking the time to tell me what you thought 🥰

@@PaintedPaperStudio my pleasure!😄

Thank you, Sonja. 🥰

I love it! Take action explore new things, but also take your blues and golds as far as they can go. Thank you for your kind words, and for being here. 🥰

Thank you very much, Ana Paula! 🥰

Hi Ivy - I think I will do a large piece with them, but I'm going to sit with them for a couple of weeks first. I need to let the colors and possibilities marinate in my brain first 😂. Thanks so much for being here and taking the time to reach out. 🥰

Thank you, Lindsey - I feel exactly the same way. The gel plate is a stress reducer (Doctor's should prescribe it!). 🥰

My physician of 30 years is also an artist. So, in a way he HAS prescribed art for me! I am dealing with the loss of my husband of 30 years. It was just the 2 of us, plus loads of animals. Such a big loud life we had! Art is healing me slowly. It is so enormously important to me. Thank you for showing us how beautiful it can really be. Bless xo@@PaintedPaperStudio

@@lindseywarren44 Lindsey, I am so so sorry for your loss. I'm glad that the art is helping you to heal and maybe even revive old memories that have been in hiding. Wishing you peace. 🥰

How kind! Thank you, darling. I wish you peace also! Bless@@PaintedPaperStudio

Oh Susan, I'm sorry you're not feeling well, but I've got just the thing to cheer you up 😍 I just posted a new video a couple of minutes ago 🥰

@@PaintedPaperStudio Thank you for the note. I will check out the new video this evening. How nice to have something to look forward to. I haven't made collage papers for ages and am excited to get to work. I'm feeling better already. Thank you. 🎉

Fantastic, Judy! I bet the watercolor grids are amazing - I need to dig out my neocolors and start using them again. Thanks for inspiring me 🥰

Thank you so much @Kreativbienchen - I wish everyone knew how fun it is to paint papers 🥰

YESSSSSSSS! That's it exactly, Tera! Thank you 🥰

@@PaintedPaperStudio 🥰 I love your videos, very inspirational. I’m a mixed media artist and I love love making painty papers and collage papers. I especially loved this video. Thank you so much for sharing your gift.

@@myartsymindteracolleen5649 Awwww, thank you - I keep trying to tell anyone who will listen just how fun painting papers can be. I'm glad you agree! 🥰

Thank you so much, Candace - clearly I have no poker face - I can't seem to contain my surprise/wonder when a paper comes out so unexpectedly. Have a wonderful day in the studio. 🥰

Thanks, Alice!

Yes, Deanna - that green is a cross of celadon and chartreuse - shall we call it "celatreuse?" 😍 I have not used mighty board, but this is the second time I've heard about it this week. I guess that's the universe telling me it's time to get some. Thank you for always being so awesome 🥰

I love "celatreuse"!! ANd I'm going to try to mix that color myself, I'm sure I have all of the colors you used in your video! I forgot to tell you, I really think you should do a large scale painting or two using this color palette, as I looked at some pf the papers your created in the video, I thought to myself "That would be a gorgeous large paitning!" If only we had the time to create of the things we envision in our minds!!@@PaintedPaperStudio

Right?! It's just such a good color - PS - it's making a small-but-mighty appearance in the next video coming out 😍

Thank you very much Rich & Lisa! The pin board is made of regular cork, painted white - however, a magnetic board is a genius idea! Thank you for being here 🥰

Thant's a great idea! 🥰

@@PaintedPaperStudio You've shared so many wonderful tips and idea in your videos that I'm happy to share a few of my own ☺ I also use baking paper when I'm doing collage work. It's great when you want to out pieces that have just been glued. Place a piece of baking paper over the piece, rub with your fingers and peel back gently. It also makes a cool collage paper :)

And now you've inspired me to bake bread (I can smell it already!) I'm so happy the video helped to motivate you back into the studio, Lisa 🥰

@@PaintedPaperStudio happy baking! 🖤

Hi Kate - thank you for your very kind words. My table is a beast 😂 she's 36" x 72". 🥰

Hi Jean! Usually I do not let the paint dry before I pull (I'm too impatient 😂). However, if I have many many dry layers built up, and I want to pull them all, I'll let the paint dry for a day before I pull. On the prints that I pull quickly, they appear dry because they (mostly) are. When you use a brayer to move the paint around you can usually get it very thin and it dries super fast on the paper. If your paint application on the plate is thick, it will pull up wet, and likely will not produce a result you love. It takes practice to get the feel for it, but it's really fun practice 😍 I'm so happy you're here and that you took the time to ask. 🥰

Hi Kim! Thank you for your kind words, and I'm thrilled that you're getting hooked on gel printing. This is a link to the free video guide I created for gel printing. It's basic but has some really helpful tips and ideas. I hope you enjoy it. 🥰 painted-paper-studio.ck.page/gel-print-guide

Hi Julie, great question! Either would work - I'm partial to the fluid acrylics, but it might depend more on your environment. If you live and create in an area that's very dry, you might want to go with fluid acrylics - they just stay wet a little bit longer. Having said that, for the past several weeks I've been using the heavy body acrylics on my gel plates and been incredibly happy with the results. Regardless of which type you buy, I think you are going to be enthralled using these colors! 🥰

@@PaintedPaperStudio In researching not all of the colors come in the fluid acrylics.

Hi Joy! It is "artist's tape" which means it's low-tack. Usually I can just pull it back without ripping the paper. Sometimes (if it gets stuck or starts to rip) I put a little heat on it with a blow dryer, and it comes right off. Here's a link to the brand I use amzn.to/46udvgw

I know that noise, Kate - for me it's a combination of "Mmmmmmmmm" and "Ohhhhhhh" 😍 You are absolutely right, there is no clear relationship between the colors, but the week before I had a paper painting session that included these colors and more, and I discovered that they surprised me. The paper painting session inspired me to explore what these colors could do together, and that's how I picked the colors for the study this time. Other times I just pick colors randomly. I think that you can't go wrong with the colors you pick so long as you approach it from a place of "what if." I hope that helps. 🥰

@@PaintedPaperStudio thankyou :)

Hi Nancy - here is the link to the grid. 🥰 painted-paper-studio.ck.page/grid-template

Yes, it is pronounced, "thaylo." I had a wonderful viewer point it out and correct me, so now we both know 😀

Thank you, Jo! I hate it when I pronounce things incorrectly, and I'm not going to lie - I've butchered Phthalo too many times. I appreciate you helping me out. 🥰
