I love your masks. I'm still cutting mine by hand. They will be helpful in the winter when the vegetation is gone. Thanks for this excellent comparison video.
Thank you for this. I was in Michale's today in the acrylic paint section. I read all the various labels...I was SO confused ( I'm new to Gelli printing). I left telling my self I needed more information. This video was perfectly timed, for me. Your videos are exceptional
I'm waiting right now for a Golden Open order. LOL! I took advantage of a sale at Cheap Joe's. I thought about trying the Golden Open medium, but didn't. Good to know it helps. Especially for the more expensive colors. Thank you for this comparison. It shows what was happening to me with multiple pulls using non open paint.
I do love the Golden Opens but if I don't have the colour I want, I use my regular paint and add the Open Gel. If you decide to try it, make sure you get the Open Gel and not the Open Medium. The Gel retains the working characteristics of heavy bodied paint.
i use liquitex basis or amsterdam paints for printing with fab results but you have to work faster. there is no rolling it out and then waiting! i get two negatives and two positives most times. another trick for extending paint is using wallpaper paste as an extender. its super cheap but its not archival, great for practicing. thanks for your videos!
thanks Kit. very informative. i wonder what would happen if you mixed the golden open gel with the Amsterdam or Blick acrylic paint.--would it also extend the drying time and number of postive and negative pulls?
It would! The Blick acrylic paint is very similar to the Opus paint I used to compare so take a look at that chapter of the video. Most of the Amsterdam colours are quite opaque so I use them when I need that.

Cutting masks by hand is a tried and true method! And they are handy in the winter!

@@KitBellArtist Thanks! I was wondering which was better.
Very interesting comparisons. Helps a lot when using the paints I have in my stash. Thank you for sharing.
You are so welcome!
