@@ElizabethStHilaire I dearly love your style. Your videos always share a unique idea with excellent editing, clear and explicit directions, explanations for your choices, and close ups. My heart leaps when you post a new video.
Oftentimes when I am shopping, I see fabric on bolts or on furniture I really like. I will take a photo and place in my "art inspiration"file. Didn't think to check my own closet!
That was a great tutorial! I am always amazed that when I think you have lost the best print by adding more layers, it always turns out even better in the end. I have to get braver about adding more layers even when I kind of like what I already have. Thank you!
@@megperry5586 Thirded - I always panic about _hiding_ layers and it being a waste of the hidden materials underneath that no-one will ever se... 🥴 Yet everyone who does it - Elizabeth being one of course! - always gets fabulous results...
Well, THAT was FUN! And aren't you gorgeous in your turquoise jewelry and nails? 😊 Thank you for this wonderful inspiration, Elizabeth. I love it! I broke my left arm and sprained my right (dominant) hand & wrist. It has been weeks since I have been able to paint or use a brayer. It has been enormously frustrating for me. But the other day, I got brave. I wanted to gel print SO badly; it is my joy. So, I took Advil and hoped for the best 😊 It was totally worth having to ice for an hour after 😁 I got back a wee bit of my mojo and it made me very happy. I was excited to see this new vid from you. Love the colour combo! Thank you so much, my dear. So blessed and pleased that you are in the world ❤ Have a lovely vacation & be safe! Love & Bless xo
Why thank you Lindsey! Oh my goodness I hope you fell better soon and I am sure glad you got a little bit of gel printing in! Soon you’ll be on the mend I’m sure
I loved the final print. I've never been able to just pull the paint off my brayer. The last time I tried to clean one of my brayers, it took me four days to get it clean. I was sorry I ever started, and then I had the problem of how to dispose of the dissolved paint which was still partly solid.
Acrylic paint will not dissolve under any circumstances, it’s polymer based. If you have a Speedball deluxe brayer the paint peels right off especially once loosened by soaking.
@@ElizabethStHilaire Thanks. They weren't solid enough for that. I soaked the brayer in alcohol and I had used a lot of metallics, which seemed particularly stubborn and weren't coming off. It ended up coming off in like a stringy gooey mess, which I ended up flushing. I didn't feel good about flushing it. I think I should have put it in a container, liquid and all, and then put it in the trash. I'll know better next time.
@@teribroberg1719 your best bet is to let it dry out, and throw it in the trash as a solid. I would never recommend soaking it in alcohol, because disposing of alcohol is an environmental mess. Try soaking it in Murphy’s oil soap. And peeling it off, and throwing it away as a solid. Also I hope that you are working with a Speedball deluxe brayer so that this is an option. Cheaper, economical brayers, do not allow for this.
@@ElizabethStHilaire Yes, I'm using Speedball brayers. I also think that I complicated matters by using cheap paints and adding various liquid mediums to try to extend open times as my paints kept drying up too quickly and I was having limited success pulling prints. Which is why I'm going to take your course and follow your method exactly from now on. With my freshly cleaned brayer, and several new ones.
So much fun. When the video first came on I said 'Oh, look at her nails" Just beautiful, you are always dressed so artfully! Question for you - does that particular 9x12 rice paper flatten out once dry? I'm planning to order some. Have a great vacation. Your content on YT is a favorite, love your style, information and tips, ideas, and demos!
I never never paint my nails. LOL they were a mess on day one. BUT it was fun for a little while. Yes the paper flattens when dry. Since I tear mine up for collage I do not worry about super flat so much but yes it does. it's really great paper. So my vacation was great and we had a wonderful time. I almost didn't know what to do with so much free time. LOL Thanks so much for your compliments Kathy!
A mask has the design formed by the plastic Mylar, a positive. A stencil has the pattern formed by cutouts in the Mylar, a negative. Thanks for watching!
Hi Elizabeth, thanks for your great video. I had just ordered and received the 12x18 pad because another artist had recommended this paper. It is very smooth on the top - almost feels a bit waxy - and more textured on the bottom. You mentioned that this pad was different from the 9x12 but mine does seem like it is sized on the top. I will order the 9x12 but wanted to get your thoughts on what I already have. Thanks so much!

You have such colorful clothes! Your video is so informative and I always learn something when I watch you! You are a wonderful teacher!!!
Thank you so much! I do try to be very thorough :)
I never knew how to blend paint on the plate before. Swirling! Thanks for the hint!
My pleasure!
Wow, wow, wow!

Thank you so much! The blouse is fine, but it doesn’t even fit me :-) it was a good art project blouse
Wow wow wow! I love watching and learning from the inspiring way you create!

What a fabulous idea to be inspired from your clothing colors! Thanks for the inspiration.
My pleasure! I've got another video of the same idea, different clothing: th-cam.com/video/eubZBax0Y9E/w-d-xo.html

@@barbara-dj1uo thank you kindly for taking time to write such kind words Barbara!

Yes! It’s a lot of fun. I have done that with fabric st the store before too!
Well done! I discovered that some of my disappointing prints were just a result of not going back and forth with my colors more.
More layers! For sure.
That was a great tutorial! I am always amazed that when I think you have lost the best print by adding more layers, it always turns out even better in the end. I have to get braver about adding more layers even when I kind of like what I already have. Thank you!
My pleasure! It’s all about the layers, it really is
Absolutely true and my fears and goals as well.

Throw the paint solids in the trash.

I’m new. What is the difference between a mask and a stencil. Also, a friend recommended I check out your videos. I thank her, and you, very much. 💌
A mask has the design formed by the plastic Mylar, a positive. A stencil has the pattern formed by cutouts in the Mylar, a negative. Thanks for watching!
I loved the idea, but I would have worked from dark to light
You cannot work that way with translucent color.
Beautiful as always. Can I ask where you got the top you are wearing? I love the flowers on it!
Very very very old from Anthropologie. Thanks!
@@ElizabethStHilaire Thank you!
Loving this process😍Any chance there will be 5x7 versions of your large stencils available?
I have some 5x7’s with Joggles, yes.
@@ElizabethStHilaire , can we buy them in the uk?
Hi Elizabeth, thanks for your great video. I had just ordered and received the 12x18 pad because another artist had recommended this paper. It is very smooth on the top - almost feels a bit waxy - and more textured on the bottom. You mentioned that this pad was different from the 9x12 but mine does seem like it is sized on the top. I will order the 9x12 but wanted to get your thoughts on what I already have. Thanks so much!
This is my favorite pad, I don’t use anything else. Rice paper comes in many different weights, so I’m not sure what you have
Loved it -what kind of watch are you wearing
Thanks! Swatch MoMA collection
what do you do with the art that you create with your gel press?
I am a collage artist, I tear the paper into pieces and create paintings with them: www.paperpaintings.com
