What a plot twist! I love how they both turned out 💕 i enjoy watching you so much...painting, collaging, gel printing... i realise how much i can learn. I've always been able to draw ,but never explored other mediums, and I need to be braver with colour. So, thank you, for all of your inspiration 🥰

Wow, this is absolutely beautiful! In the beginning of your process, I saw a cat sitting on the back of the woman's chair, vs an owl, but that's probably because my cat does this to me in real life! However, the owl is so intriguing, and I love that you added both of their faces in the plot twist! Thank you for sharing your amazing process with us! It was delightful to watch and learn! ❤❤❤

Thank you, I'm so glad it was helpful...I often wish I knew what I was doing and where I was going from the beginning, but that is the exception for me and often, I'm having to sand things down and regroup, as in this case after the varnish incident, but it really worked in my favor!

WOW - So glad I tuned in !!! LOVED watching your process :-). Am wondering why, in the beginning, you didn’t turn the sample copies in different directions to see what images might pop? THANK You SO MUCH for sharing your work - truly inspiring!
@VikkiReed 8 ай бұрын
Hi, thank you, GREAT question! I did turn them different ways to find the images, but for the sake of my own organization, I "titled" what I saw at the top of the page so I could quickly sketch out what was there on camera (if you look at it again, you will see the different orientation of the copies). You definitely have the right idea about rotating the image to keep exploring!
@maryfellows4159 8 ай бұрын
Wow! Such a cool finish to your piece! Brilliant idea to add inks to your sprays….I have several TH sprays I almost never use. If you have a moment, can you tell me how much ink you add to make them permanent? Thank you for sharing your process….I really enjoyed it!
@VikkiReed 8 ай бұрын
Hi Mary, yes, I find that the TH spray bottles are great, but the spray itself "moves around" in subsequent layers which is problematic for me. So what I'm saying is almost no TH spray, and Amsterdam or Daler Rowney acrylic inks in high proportion should get the job done for you!

Woo-hoo! Janice, you're on a roll now! This piece was created on masonite, but that is unusual for me. My current favorite is birchwood panel...btw I did not go to art school and choose my supplies by trial and error and preference...I do have a mixed media bird course coming up (I believe within the next month, the videos are still being edited) if you want to be on the email list to be notified about the course, you can join here...gelliplatefun.com/mixed-media-bird-course/ also, all the videos show ALL the supplies used in the information below the video, if you click on "more..." it will open up

Hi, thus is a general question about gelli printing. I enjoy your videos and hope you can help. I'm finding the areas where I first put the paint show blobs even when I've evened out the paint, and if it takes me a few rows with the brayer then the paintings off in spots and I can't get it to take more paint?? Don't know what I'm doing wrong. Please help if you can. Sandra-Kay
@VikkiReed 7 ай бұрын
Sandra-Kay, I'm sure that is so frustrating! Without seeing it, from the sound of it, I suspect you are using heavy body acrylic. I use Golden Fluid Acrylics almost exclusively when I am Gelli Printing. The exceptions are when I'm seeking an image transfer. But for your purposes, try some Golden Fluid Acrylics (minimal investment to start!) Brayer pressure can be an issue as well, light touch is the best for gelli printing. Humidity levels are another variable that will affect your gelli printing a great deal, too low and the paint sticks on the plate and you can't pull it, too high and the paint won't dry and prints are squishy and unsatisfactory. If none of what I've shared gets you any closer to your goal, I do offer one hour private sessions over Zoom, here's the link vikkireed.com/buy-acrylic-paintings/ols/products/gelli-plate-printing-instruction---1-hour-over-zoom You can also ask more questions after you've tried what I suggested...good luck! You'll feel fantastic when you get it!

Beautiful. I like seeing the whole process like this. And was that some sort of spatula that you used to apply matte medum?
@VikkiReed 5 ай бұрын
Thank you! Yes, I prefer it for two very specific reasons, 1) it is easier to smooth out bubbles... 2) it doesn't need to be cleaned like a brush. If matte medium dries on your brush it is ruined, unless you soak it in alcohol and detergent and work the matte medium out of the bristles. When matte medium dries on the silicone spatula, you can simply peel it off!

@VikkiReed 6 ай бұрын
Hi Christine, thank you for your question, this piece was created on gessoed masonite, a somewhat unusual surface for me, I prefer cradled birchwood, which holds up well to sanding and is quite easy to apply collage to, a sturdier surface than canvas.
