Looks great Mark 👍 pinks, purple and gold fab colours lovely Mandala 😍 I was holding my breath during the mandala bit......even forgot to eat my bedtime KitKat!!! 😄
Mark number one I love pink and brown together I think they're beautiful in that touch of gold just adds up to it I love it I think it turned out stunning. Kudos to you for an awesome job.
Mark, you're brave. It took me a few ruined paintings to get it done. Now, I love doing it. I finally got the 3D effect that Olga showed us. Great job. I absolutely love it.
A beautiful painting to begin with and i wasn't sure about the stencil but i think because you blended the colours it has turned out really lovely with a natural look to it. Can't wait to see some more stencil work xxxxx
Mark my dear.....I love it ! I as well have been working with mandalas per Olga and am in love with them. I just never thought to use as an embellishment on a Dutch pour. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent. Get back to you when I get one done. 💜
Mark, this is a real knock-out. The colors of the mandala stencil compliments your chaos dutch pour so well. I’m embarking on my own embellishment adventure, so I hope that mine look equally as amazing as yours. Great work. 🐻
Thank you Tracy. Tip from me if it helps. Make sure your stencil is securely taped down so it minimises any smudging. I found it’s not as easy as it can look x
Great job... Olga does such amazing work.. I watched her as well doing the embellishment and I have the bug to do it myself.. Great job, this is so beautiful.
Oh that's amazing! I once tried to use a stencil but with just paint not gel and I ended up ruining the painting and having to paint something completely new over the top of it to hide the disaster. 😳
Hey Mark, you did a great job. It looks absolutely gorgeous. I love the colour palette and the mandala flower came out so beautiful. Maybe I would have placed it a little bit more towards the corner, but it's great the way it is. Oh and in the right lower corner I can see the head of a chinese dragon. I am hoping for more pieces with this colour palette (even though it has not a drop of my favourite colour in it LOL) 🖒💖
Hi, Mark! Marvelous piece with the embelishment, it gives to the whole composition a meaning despite the small negative space. I keep asking myself, I intended to ask Olga Soby, also, why do you not use the coloured paste/gel for stencils? It's much easier to work with it ?! Love your ideas, very inspiring. Thank you a lot! :)
Thank you so much- I think for me, the reason I don’t use coloured paste/gel is because I can then tailor it using the Color’s I’ve used in a creation to match my color palette 🎨- thank you so much for your kind words
It is much easier to do a stencil on a solid surface. I would recommend that you place books underneath the canvas where you are pressing down to apply the stencil paint/gel.
If u try mixing some paint with impasto the stenciled embellishment comes out perfectly gives a deep 3d look the gel is good too but impasto is used to create more Texture, I have also tried paper embellishments u can go Nuts with those if u have space that’s empty or u just want to create something different.
Different in a good way I feel that the colours, blowout, and embellishment would look great on their own. Together, they look good but may be fighting each other for attention Which are our eyes drawn to first? But I'm just a rookie. What do I know 😂😂😂
I don’t understand the purpose of the gel. How can you see the design so you know where to put the colored paint? Why can’t the stencil be painted directly onto the canvas, which is already painted pink as your base coat?
I use gel to get a 3D effect; you wouldn’t get with just paint. The gel also helps create good definition. The gel also helps create a seamless combination of the paint mix but gel isn’t mandatory just use paint if you wish 👍🏻

Thank you Tracy. Tip from me if it helps. Make sure your stencil is securely taped down so it minimises any smudging. I found it’s not as easy as it can look x
Great job... Olga does such amazing work.. I watched her as well doing the embellishment and I have the bug to do it myself.. Great job, this is so beautiful.
Thank you so much Robin. Ok so I’ll admit…. It’s addictive! Haha hope you enjoy doing the embellishment yourself 😊
@@MarkJRatcliffeArt Looking forward to seeing you do more with the stencils.. like this one, i'm sure you will knock it out of the park. :)
Beautiful
Thank you Betina 🙏😊
Oh my goodness YES!! Taping down the stencil is, well, Olga makes it look so east 🤣
She makes it look soooo easy 😂😂😂 but as I found out, it’s not 😂
Great job! It’s a beautiful piece❤
Thank you so much 😊
Bellissimo 😊
Thank you so much ☺️
Very cool
Thank you 🙏

If u try mixing some paint with impasto the stenciled embellishment comes out perfectly gives a deep 3d look the gel is good too but impasto is used to create more
Texture, I have also tried paper embellishments u can go
Nuts with those if u have space that’s empty or u just want to create something different.
Thank you so much for sharing your info. Defo something more for me to explore 🙏😊
What kind of gel is that will gloss jell medium work its thick dries clear and shiny
Yes absolutely this one is gloss gel by Pebeo
❤❤❤
What is the name of the gel before the paint ❤
It’s called a Gloss Gel - it’s a mixing medium that you can mix with paint. The brand I’ve used is Pebeo.
Thank you so much
Different in a good way
I feel that the colours, blowout, and embellishment would look great on their own.
Together, they look good but may be fighting each other for attention
Which are our eyes drawn to first?
But I'm just a rookie.
What do I know 😂😂😂
Thanks Dave! Appreciate your input 👍🏻
