In this week's Tutorial Tidbit I will show you my tips and tricks for creating complex layered gel prints. Really you have to consider color combinations and combinations of patterns. I am using my BIG Georgia O’Keeffe collection mask called Fanfare combined with Barb’s Bubble Blast design and layered with my Planes mask. All together these patterns really SING! Then add some opaque layers on top and a little bit of gold metallic and it’s a winner! Be sure to stay to the end to see my beautiful results!

Gorgeous prints Elizabeth! I have all the materials but not the courage to give it a go. I need to organise my brain to work out the order of printing. I guess I have to work backwards?

@ElizabethStHilaire Жыл бұрын

My pleasure Susan, just give yourself permission to PLAY that is how you learn and remember. I don't worry about the order of things when using translucent pigments because they all show through the layers like watercolor or stained glass. you just have to think about the order of things the using opaque pigments as they block out what's below them. Good luck!

This was such a great tutorial! I'd not thought of using ghost prints on the main print. So this helped me think more about the negative space. Not only did I learn a new technique, but also a new word. I'd always thought of linear as being lines, & curved as being, well, not lines lol. So I thought you were saying curvilinear sort of a a joke, but it's a real word. You guessed it, I'm not an art or geometry major lol. But it made me realize circles are lines, just not straight lines. I'll be 60 in July, bout time I learned that simple thing lol.

It’s never too late to learn something new. And the word for straight lines is actually rectilinear :-) there’s another new word for you!

@ElizabethStHilaire Жыл бұрын

The layering of translucent colors allows each stencil to show through the next, unless you use opaque paint. For translucent layers I don't worry so much about the order, for opaque I do use a small pattern on top, so as not to block out too much of the previous layers. Glad you enjoyed it!
