Come join me for an experimental art session in my new studio. You'll see me creating collage papers using my gel press and then using those papers to add texture and dimension to my larger canvas work. Along the way, I share other new art supplies that I'm loving, from mediums to mark-making supplies, and even the joy of a fantastic pair of scissors!
It's an in-depth, art-filled video with hands-on demonstrations to spark up your excitement to create. All the supplies mentioned are linked below.

You are very talented. And, you are a good teacher. Over the past 20 years, little by little, I have purchased most of the mediums you are using. lol. I never got good at using them. But now I’m going to go for it. Thanks, treen 💕💕💕

Have you thought of tearing your collage papers instead of cutting them, it gives a different look and the torn edges blend into the paper or canvas so you don't even see the edges as much. Just a thought.

Thank you. I'm delighted that you said that, as sometimes I worry that there should be more talking or noise, but sometimes it's lovely to just watch a process unfold. There's a lot that can be taken in without the need for words. It's a balance. Glad you enjoyed!

@isobelmoore7025 7 ай бұрын

@@LauraHornArt honestly think it’s the perfect balance. I find KZfaq hard bc so many people create really hyped up, incessant chatter and noisy videos and I find myself either not watching, or skipping through so I can get the bit of information I want but don’t have to put up with them. But yours I can watch all the way through and enjoy. After watching I made 19 gel plate prints in a proper flow state 😍🙌

Oh my goodness...I just purchased my first Gel Press and was thinkng about getting the stabilo woody pencils. I'm so excited to learn how to use the Gel Plate, and you just made it seem so much less intimidating. Love your studio, love those huge canvases! Thank you for sharing today!

@LauraHornArt 7 ай бұрын

Lovely to see you here Sheila! You really can just get stuck in and learn as you go with a gel press. I probably could do better prints, but if the process is enjoyable and they are going into a mixed media painting anyway, I figure I may as well just have fun and see what results curiosity and experimentation brings! Just avoid using sharp things on the plate and keep some baby wipes around to clean the plate. And you can print on anything. So fun!

@sheilaschmid7768 7 ай бұрын

@@LauraHornArt all the while I was watching your video I kept thinking “I hope she demonstrates how she uses those printings on a painting” and then, you did!!! So you actually just applied the deli paper directly to your canvas!!??!! I suspect then the medium you used to apply it with puts a protective coating over the deli paper ?? I love love love how you’re using the Gel prints on your canvas paintings!!! You are amazing!

@LauraHornArt 7 ай бұрын

@@sheilaschmid7768 so glad I covered teh part that you were hoping for. And yes, I just add them straight to the canvas and the gel medium puts a lovely protective coating over the print and then you can keep layering other supplies. In the next layer of the canvas I will add back in more paint and start to incorporate the collage into an overall design. I also use glazes to help bring it together. The deli paper is nice because it is very thin and keeps the surface very workable.

Thanks so much for always sharing so much with us. The single most helpful lesson I learned from this class was the use of either clear gesso or the golden pastel ground. I’ve often experienced the problem of my crayons not being effective on an acrylic painting so I’ve literally just tried your suggestion with some clear gesso I had. It’s a eureka moment! The crayons now have such impact on my piece 😊
