Faber Castell Gelatos for Mixed Media Collage: Part 2 Review
I got a lot of additional questions about these gelatos after my first product review video. (If you’d like to catch part 1, here it is: Using Faber Castell's Gelatos in Mixed Media Collage • Using Faber Castell's ... )
So I immediately wanted to do Part 2 so I could explore the behaviors and tendencies of this wonderful product in my mixed media collage as I typically use it.
The questions I was seeking answers to in this video were:
1. How do they behave and what do they look like in dry vs. wet mode?
2. How do they do on collage papers?
3. How do they interact with something like watercolors?
4. Do they reactivate once you apply a medium to them?
5. How do gelatos compare to Tempera Paint Sticks?
