Once I discovered them, they became my favorites for backgrounds, instead of using soft pastels, colors are amazing, you can apply them wet or dry and the iridescent collections are just perfect
Well, you can say your white background’s are all uniform, and that’s the element that links them together on your walls! Seriously I love your gelatos background, they are so much fun to use and easy.
Hi, Kori. Your background turned out beautifully. I started using these types of gel crayons like Gelatos, the Shuttle Art, and Silky crayons from watching Emma at Emmacolours 2020. I absolutely love how easy they are to use, and I like the soft effect they provide. I think we are all afraid of backgrounds. Erica is so amazing at figuring out her backgrounds and doing them first, but I am kind of like you. I can’t usually picture how it will turn out. I enjoyed watching you play with these. ❤️
GM, I love the way your background turned out. While I was watching you I used my gelatos for the first time and was pretty impressed on how easy it was . Thanks for sharing.
Looks like this video is a year old now but I've just found it, yay! One thing I wanted to mention that I heard on another video and it's taken all of my background fear away. Make a couple photo copies of your finished, pre-background work and use the copies to practice on. When you get the technique and colors you like, go for the original!
thanks you for the idea of use a blender for gelato because ithey sleep in a box, i buy them eight years ago when there is loss possibility in mixmedia in france and they are not easy to use, there is so many little pigment out of the stick etc.
This one is definitely less on the messy side haha. But, I bet the heat of your hands would help it spread really nicely and possibly get a more intense color since you're not going with the brush.
Haha yeah, sad I had purchased TWO different packs of them and hadn't used the first, but it's okay. I have now used them. I have some KingArt Gel Crayons I still need to use too.
It looks beautiful and so soft! Fits perfectly into your color scheme there with the violet hair. Yes, it can be quite exhausting to bring the gelatos down on the paper in a dry way. But I think it is worth the effort. They blend out so softly.
I have gelatos, but I rarely use them. I honestly don't know why either. I love the way your picture is turning out. I need to find some time to color, but between kids and work, I haven't had any. So I live vicariously through my favorite streamers. LOL
I had purchased 2 sets of them, so I felt I should probably get on with using them lol. Awe, I'm sorry you have such little time! I completely understand though. Work and kids suck up a lot of our free time!
Can you rub the gelato stick right onto your coloring page and then rub the brush in instead of putting it onto the pallet first? Also, could you do a tutorial how to do them with a wet brush? Basically using water to activate them.
I think I have a WIP and chat where I activated them. Yes, technically you could apply to paper but you wouldn't get an even spread because you'd constantly be rubbing the pigment while picking up the brush into that area.
I'm glad you did this video. I too have a few sets of gelatos and thet have sit untouched. Im not a good background colorist either I feel like I'm going to ruin my pic also, like you said😊
That worked out beautifully, and so easy! Definitely will be trying this myself. Backgrounds leave me baffled too, and I have a set of Gelatos still unused.
This is a day to write ✍️ on the calendar 🗓️!!! 💕 I was trying to be quiet because my husband is asleep. But no! You had me laughing out loud 📢😂😂😂📢 Love the background, btw.
I’m going to give this a shot. Do you have to use a fixative over any coloring pages you use the gelatos? Kind of like you do with the pastels. When the book is closed on the shelf is color going to rub onto the page on top of it or does it get on your fingers off the page?
So satisfying to watch! Still watching (so you might answer this later) but do you have to ‘fix’/spray’ the page like a pastel needs it or once down, they don’t move? 🌺
The background looks really great, I think I need to try some gelatos. I am curious though, how long did they take to dry and did you need to use it fixative?
thanks so much for sharing.. I have the same fear and I'm so glad you shared this video because this looks beautiful! I've ruined so many pages 😊 it would be really nice for you to do a whole segment of different types of backgrounds.. what do you think?
That is a mighty fine background. No reason to be chicken anymore, right? Throw the brushes in the DW with the pallet! (maybe not). Great job, Kori. So pretty. Cas
Hello Kori. I am Mocha. I am new to the adult coloring community. I have been watching several of your videos for about two weeks now. I just subscribe today. I love the Whimsy Mermaids and other girls' books. I have several of them. I have been scared to mess them up, so I haven't colored in them yet. I love the way you color their hair. I am going to try to color one of the girls' hair by coloring along with you. How long does it take to color the girls hair? And do you color their skin also? And oh yeah, I love their outfits. I have been having a problem with backgrounds, also. I did a search, and this video popped up. I have Gelatos and never used them. Will try them for a background now. Question: Where you not afraid to get the Gelatos on your image? I know some people color the background first. Which is really cool. But, like you, I don't know the color of my images. 😂 You are super talented, and I am so glad that I found your channel. God bless and tfs
Once I discovered them, they became my favorites for backgrounds, instead of using soft pastels, colors are amazing, you can apply them wet or dry and the iridescent collections are just perfect
I totally agree!
This video definitely qualifies as a tutorial! I've never used Gelatos for a background! Thanks for doing this!
Glad it was helpful!
Well, you can say your white background’s are all uniform, and that’s the element that links them together on your walls! Seriously I love your gelatos background, they are so much fun to use and easy.
Yeah they really are quite simple! It was a lot easier to pull off than I thought haha.
Morning Kori, very nice. TFS
Good morning! Thank you so much for watching :)

Backgrounds are def my nemesis. I just can't picture one to do before the picture is done - but wish I could.
I think we need t-shirts that say smoosh and wiggle 😂
I love how the background turned out
OMG I need that in my life. In a mug too. Maybe when I hit 10k I can create it as my merch. Smoosh and wiggle, smoosh and wiggle lol
Beautiful! Thanks for the video.
Thank you for watching!

Yes, that is a good idea. If I'm just stumped on color, I take a picture, add it to my iPad and use Procreate to test different background colors
welcome to the world of easy gel crayon backgrounds hehe
It is a fun world to visit!
I have used these with a baby wipe to apply, the moisture helps move the pigment. Very soft background. Very brave of you.
Oh a baby wipe - very interesting. Does it change the effect?
Very nice muted background. I think gelato is a good medium to use for background from looking at this. U did good job 😊
Yea they really are! So simple
thanks you for the idea of use a blender for gelato because ithey sleep in a box, i buy them eight years ago when there is loss possibility in mixmedia in france and they are not easy to use, there is so many little pigment out of the stick etc.
Oh the blender brushes make them so much easier! Also, have you tried activating them with water? They are very pretty that way as well!
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Lori,
Great background, l have only done the wet version or smooshing on the page with my finger. So good to see another method
This one is definitely less on the messy side haha. But, I bet the heat of your hands would help it spread really nicely and possibly get a more intense color since you're not going with the brush.
I love all your videos are always amazing
Thank you so much 😀
Well done! I love your honesty!, I too have gelatos and....distress inks, silky crayons....untouched.....from fear. 🥴
Haha yeah, sad I had purchased TWO different packs of them and hadn't used the first, but it's okay. I have now used them. I have some KingArt Gel Crayons I still need to use too.
@@ColorfullyOptimistic also have not used the kingart as well!! I will use my gelatos thou!!!
Love it
Thank you!
👏👏👏👏👏
Looks so easy ty kori
It actually was easy. Surprisingly so!
Hey Kori love her hair and it’s an amazing background. It looks really good with the hair . 💜
Thank you so much
Your background looks great. I hate doing backgrounds too. I need to pick some of these up
Haha yeah they are definitely not something I go rushing to finish.
It looks beautiful and so soft! Fits perfectly into your color scheme there with the violet hair. Yes, it can be quite exhausting to bring the gelatos down on the paper in a dry way. But I think it is worth the effort. They blend out so softly.
Oh yeah. I mean my hand cramped, but it was worth it in the end lol
I have gelatos, but I rarely use them. I honestly don't know why either. I love the way your picture is turning out. I need to find some time to color, but between kids and work, I haven't had any. So I live vicariously through my favorite streamers. LOL

Yay! Looks great!
Yay, thank you!
Yay, a pretty background! 👍💜
Awe thank you. Need to face my fears and start doing more of them lol

Beautiful!! 😊✌
Thank you! 😊
This turned out beautiful.
Awe thank you so much my dear!
This turned out lovely. Thank you for sharing ❤️
Thank you! 😊 I was pleasantly surprised myself lol
💛💛💛💛
What kind of soap are you talking about. Please. I loved your tutorial .
Pink Soap! amzn.to/4crX5bD
Turned out so delicate and beautiful 💕
Thank you so much!
I'm glad you did this video. I too have a few sets of gelatos and thet have sit untouched. Im not a good background colorist either I feel like I'm going to ruin my pic also, like you said😊
You are so welcome! Yeah sometimes we just have to go for it and hope for the best haha
Great job! Very pretty💜
Thank you!
That worked out beautifully, and so easy! Definitely will be trying this myself. Backgrounds leave me baffled too, and I have a set of Gelatos still unused.
Backgrounds scare me. Wish I could do them first lol
This is a day to write ✍️ on the calendar 🗓️!!! 💕 I was trying to be quiet because my husband is asleep. But no! You had me laughing out loud 📢😂😂😂📢 Love the background, btw.
Haha, I was having a bit of fun that's for sure.
What paper are you putting the gelatos on Kori?
This is my usual Neenah 110lb cardstock. It should be in the description, but if not, here is the link: amzn.to/3LRldZ2
That was awesome. I have only markers, eye shadow and pastel pencils for backgrounds. I love how your background turned out!
Oooh pastel pencils I like using, but the noise (the scratchies) gets me lol
Oh I understand that!! GIves me the willies every time I use them. hahaha!! So I use the markers and eye shadow more. :P
I’m going to give this a shot. Do you have to use a fixative over any coloring pages you use the gelatos? Kind of like you do with the pastels. When the book is closed on the shelf is color going to rub onto the page on top of it or does it get on your fingers off the page?
Nah, no fixative. As long as you let it dry, usually overnight, it isn't even tacky
It looks great! I'm going to have to get some gelatos now 😊
They are incredibly easy to use. Dunno why I've just been hiding them away
@@ColorfullyOptimistic that's what I like.....easy to use LOL
So satisfying to watch! Still watching (so you might answer this later) but do you have to ‘fix’/spray’ the page like a pastel needs it or once down, they don’t move? 🌺
Nope! After an hour it dried and doesn't move!
Oh man. See, now I want them. Lol. Ty Kori 🌺
Looks beautiful Kori, backgrounds terrify me, I need to get some of these definitely ♥️♥️♥️ TFS , Btw, I love how you say hair, I'm from Alabama lol
Haha some people catch my pronunciation. These were really great for the background
The background looks really great, I think I need to try some gelatos. I am curious though, how long did they take to dry and did you need to use it fixative?
Took about an hour or 2 to dry but no fixative needed!
I love the colors, I have come to enjoy using gelatos for backgrounds too. What kind of soap do you use to clean the brushes?
I use the Pink Soap. Have you ever tried it? amzn.to/3tJGGuJ
@@ColorfullyOptimistic No, I might have to. Thank you.
How do you guys wash the makeup brushes you use for the backgrounds? I use alcohol and paper wipes.
I actually use pink soap (for paint brushes) and under the faucet
thanks so much for sharing.. I have the same fear and I'm so glad you shared this video because this looks beautiful! I've ruined so many pages 😊 it would be really nice for you to do a whole segment of different types of backgrounds.. what do you think?
Haha, well backgrounds scare me, so maybe when I'm feeling better about them :)
Who is the artist of this coloring page?
Mystic Art Mirrors
That is a mighty fine background. No reason to be chicken anymore, right? Throw the brushes in the DW with the pallet! (maybe not). Great job, Kori. So pretty. Cas
Haha, no reason to fear these I suppose.
The back ground came out really nice.. back grounds are not my thing 🤣
They aren't my thing either, but I need to get over it lol
I need to get over it to its only paper but I have ruined a few nice pages because of the back ground. So im pretty shy 🤭

Beautiful do you have to set these on your background or do they set on their own? I have always been curious about these 💜💜
They set on their own. After an hour they were totally dry!
@@ColorfullyOptimistic awesome thanks I will have to look into getting some of these 💜
