Awesome Autumn!! Let's Make Some Art! #autumn #artdemo #botanicalpainting #leafprinting
Hey everyone!
I don’t know about all of you, but I absolutely love this time of year! 🎃
I know we’re not quite there yet, but it’s just days away, and I couldn’t wait to do an autumn inspired mixed media piece!
I combine a little bit of Gelli printing with some interesting background colors and fine-line work to get a different approach to using autumn leaves in a painting!
I hope you enjoy! ☺️

Ink Jet Printing on the Gelli Plate?! #mixedmedia #gelliplate #inkjetprinter #monoprinting #artdemo
มุมมอง 1K19 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
Hi, All! So if you watch the same amount of art videos that I do, I’m sure you have heard people talking about using inkjet prints on the gel plate. This was a definite no-no in the beginning, but seems to be gaining popularity. The procedure is a little bit different, but you actually CAN get a successful print from an ink jet printer! Stick with me through this video, and I will show you how ...
Mixed Media Collage With Two Birds! #mixedmedia #birdart #collage #abstractart #mixedmediart #art
มุมมอง 46114 วันที่ผ่านมา
Hello, all! Welcome to another art demo, this time using mixed media to make a collage with two birds! This technique of negative painting I have used before, and it's a really fun way to use up some of those Gelli prints that we all seem to have stacking up in our studios! I use a combination of hand-printed collage papers, stencils, and acrylic paints to create this piece! I hope you enjoy th...

Hello, everyone! In today's video, I decided to do some watercolor painting to use as a jumping-off point for a mixed-media piece! I LOVE the look of watercolor, and I also love painting with them. It's a completly different experience from acrylics, and you can get some really beautiful effects! I used several different techniques for this piece, and I had a lot of fun making it!

Let's Rework A Drawing! #art #artdemo #drawing #landscape

Hello, all! So, I was looking through one of the many stacks of papers and various pads of paper in my studio the other day, and I came across an old, partially finished ink drawing that I thought would be fun to rework with some mixed media! This was started with some micron pen on watercolor paper, and I added various acrylic paints and more ink drawing to get an aethereal, post-apocalyptic s...

I love fall as well, and this piece certainly says FALL. It’s gorgeous. Thank you for your very instructive videos. Love watching them!❤
Hallo Mellisa❤
Hello!
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing
Thank you! Cheers!
You added those roots. Made the whole painting❣️. Love it💙🦋
Thank you!!!
Yay! A lovely Fall piece of att, Melissa. Your line work is so fluid.
Thank you so much!☺️
Beautiful piece, love how you figured out how to make the whole thing connect and make sense. I struggle with the "piece of paper just glued down to the background" situation often. Thank you for sharing your process and your struggles, glad this one came together for you!
The minute I looked at it I wanted to name it “Fallen”. Feel free if you like it. 😊
Thank you! I ended up with “Tether.” Great suggestion, though!
Another excellent one. Love your tissue focals. Now I have a backlog of 3 to try. Can't wait for my bathroom reno and 50th hs class reunion to be done this month. I will have to watch the vids again to refresh my mind. MO, USA
Thank you for your kind words! There never seems to be enough time to make art, does there? Thank you for letting me know where you’re located, too! I love hearing that!
0oooo! Two great prints.
Thank you!!
Beautiful prints!
Thank you!☺️
I feel the same way about the titanium white when I knock things back or add it to my pieces! Love when others do it but just never feels right with me! I have started to use titanium buff that I really like! It’s softer and a bit warmer I feel like. I see myself using this in just about everything! Yes yes and yes to imposter syndrome and the wandering with each piece!
I’ll have to give the titanium buff a try! Thank you so much for watching!!☺️☺️

I love this! It’s just a happy piece!! It would be great to hang in a bathroom and get a burst of happiness and energy first thing in the morning!
Love this!!!
Il va falloir que je m'y mette Déjà j'ai commandé la plaque à Amazon... mais j'ai oublié le rouleau... 😊
I hope you have so much fun with it!☺️
Quelle bonne idée Très joli rendu 🤩
Thank you so much!☺️
So pretty..it’s gold for the win! Wonder if this would work with loose leafing flakes? Thanks, Melissa
I think that it would work, I would probably just try to press the flakes more carefully into the crevices of the stencil, but I can’t see why it wouldn’t work!
@@ArtworkByMelissaReed I’ll give it a go when I can get back to my art space and let you know. Thx!
Great experiment ❤
Thank you! Cheers!☺️
The fresh print looks a lot lighter to the 😮
What is Matt gel medium? Thank you.
You can think of it like acrylic paint but without the pigment. It’s not exactly the same thing, but it functions in much the same way. Many collage artists use it as an adhesive to glue down their collage papers. It can also be used as an additive to acrylic paint to make the paint more transparent!
I love this technique! They all turned out great, but I liked the first one you did the best. I think it came out the clearest.
Thank you so much!
What kind of paper are you using for the first prints? It looks like rice paper.
Hello! It’s actually just regular printer paper!☺️
Love this one…so many helpful techniques-awesome job❤
Thanks so much 😊
Hi, could you please add the link to the free photo source site, I don't see it in the description, thanks
Oh, no! I totally forgot! Here it is, and I’ll add it to the description! Thank you for letting me know! unsplash.com/
Thank you Melissa, good to know that I can use my old inkjet printer. You made my day :)
You are so welcome!🤗
LOVE LOVE LOVE!
Thank you so much!!!☺️
wouahh that is so cool! Thank you so much for this great demonstration!
You are so welcome! Thank you so much for watching!☺️
What kind of paper are you printing the ink jet on?
I’m just using regular copy paper here.
@@ArtworkByMelissaReed Thank you! I will try this today.
What type of ink did your inkjet printer use? Dye or pigment?
@@juliekbrooks I have an HP printer and I buy the HP 63 ink. I Google searched it, and it says that it is a pigment based ink.
@@ArtworkByMelissaReed I think pigment inks work because they won't be reactivated. I have watched so many videos I can't remember. I have a Canon that is pigment and an old HP laser I am going to try.. I want to transfer my own photos.
Such a great video- I've not seen this technique of image transfer. So cool! I have a laser printer myself and still don't have consistent success with transfers. I think I will try this method with it. Thanks so much for the share and for trying it out so many ways- gives us so many great ideas of ways to play!
You are so welcome! My success rate with the laser prints is honestly about 50-50. It doesn’t seem to matter what I do, sometimes they just don’t want to work. Obviously there’s something that I’m missing, but I have no idea what it is, lol. I’m so glad you enjoyed the video! ☺️
I got home from running errands and said, “Ooh! Melissa will have posted her video by now!” I couldn’t wait to watch! Thank you so much for doing this video. I had heard the exact same things that you did, and hadn’t had the energy to do this experiment myself! Knowing that we can do an inkjet transfer, it also tells me I can photocopy a magazine page on an inkjet, when that magazine page doesn’t have the right ink to transfer on its own. I’ve been running into that lately as well. Older mags transfer great but many newer ones don’t.
Wow, thank you so much for saying that! It made my day! Yes, this opens up so many possibilities! I was thinking about doing a photocopy of a newspaper, and then transferring that onto tissue paper to use. There are just so many ideas!☺️
Awesome technique - thank you😍
You are so welcome!🤗
I will look forward to your Friday uploads! ❤
Thank you so much!☺️
Fun to watch you experiment, Melissa. Thank you. The papers came out great! (love the cat art on the wall in your introduction and the little meows during the video)
Thank you so much! Yes, Gomez is bound and determined to get onto these videos anyway he can, lol!🐈⬛
Finally, great techniques and I'll get back with you when I try this. Thanks Melissa!
Yes, definitely let me know how it works out for you!☺️
Excellent share, thx
Thank you so much for watching!☺️
thanks for the cool music reccomendation and cool art :O
Hey! thanks so much!!☺️
Lots of fun prints from that one, Melissa.
Why did you put so much space between the dark figure and the two light figure? Is there an artistic reason or something else? The far left white figure has a hood reminiscent of the KKK.
Finally someone shows me from start to finish how to use my papers. I have not made a collage yet b/c I’m in the process of moving. Thank you. I love your style. JJ
Thank you for the kind words! The first couple of collages that I did were honestly terrible, lol. It takes a little bit of playing around with, but it’s so much fun to do!
I love this piece. It almost reminds me of the birds being quilted, and their heads give me a turkey vulture vibe. Great work!❤
Thank you very much!☺️
Very enjoyable video.
Many thanks!☺️
The final piece just glows. I love it!
Thank you!!😊
Birdie goodness is definitely the best!💜
I can’t get enough birds!!☺️
I really liked that background.
I really did too, and it hurt me a little bit to cover so much of it up, but being as it was such a busy visual pattern, I felt like it needed to have some kind of a break.☺️
Love all the colors and patterns,,
Thank you!!☺️
I love stencils…can’t stope buying them. This is a good one.
I am beginning to love them! I have seen so many really great ones out there that I would love to buy!
So I keep thinking that your blue nails are a part of the work...interesting 😮❤
🤣🤣🤣 maybe I should have added a little bit of blue to this one!
I love the flower technique! This piece turned out awesome. Love it!❤️
Thank you so much!😊
I learned a lot watching this. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much for watching!☺️
Yip English is on back of each pan of all the Kuretake pan sets. Enjoy.
I must have a different set… I just tore my entire box apart, but unfortunately there was no English there. Oh well. I will just have to keep making up names, lol!🤣🤣🤣
