Hello Jackie, nice to see you in your studio again. Hope you had an inspiring and happy time in Portugal. ✏✒📖 I like to do colourswatching whenever I purchased new colours. For example acrylic paints with metallic shimmer or pastel versions. That helps me to remember what I have and is a relaxing way to move a brush, or sponge or some printing tool. I like to combine it with mark making. I ´m afraid, I´m not always 😇 as systematical as you are. Which of course leaves me puzzled sometimes, how or from where this or that colour sprang onto my paper 🪅🌈👻☺ But in the end I don´t really mind. Late night greetings from Bavaria, Britta
Britta - swatching with brand new materials is so much fun, and I would imagine that combining it with mark-making takes the exercise to a new level. Thanks for the idea - I'll have to give it a try 😍
Hello Jackie, I found this absolutely fascinating. Brings back so many memories of art school producing colour wheels. I am really looking forward to the next videos.
Jackie, I found your channel yesterday and have obsessively watched about a dozen of your videos so far! You are so inspirational and uniquely creative! One question? Why do you use your Gelli plate for a palette? Did I miss your explanation somehow? I am obsessed with Gelli plates and own about 2 dozen of them in varying sizes, including 2 of the huge 16" x 20" size that I've never even taken out of their boxes due to feeling too much "preciousness" about using it! I need to get over myself and just use the darn thing!! I am also very encouraged (by you) to allow a few of my plates to get super grungy, too! Love those pulls you get from your very dirty plate! Thank you so much for your videos!!
Oh my goodness, Deanna, thank you for such kind words, and welcome! I have gel plate inventory envy right now - 2 dozen *swoon*!!! I could hang out with you all day getting those plates dirty and grungy 😂 But to answer your question about why I use the plates as palettes, it's because I see opportunity everywhere. When I use a plate this way, I always know that I can do pulls at the end and that those pulls will harmonize with whatever colors I used that day. The other reason is that I tend to use all the paint I put down that day, as opposed to a normal palette, where I don't feel bad walking away from it and letting it dry out (missed opportunities). Finally, use those giant plates - they feel lonely! 😂 So glad you're here. 🥰
Thank you, Jackie, for explaining your process in detail, although after watching every video you've posted to date, I have your process deeply embedded in my gray matter!! I have so many plates for a couple of reasosn, #1 being my iexcessive impatience! I can'r stand to wait for a split second once I've started printing, so I always have a clean plate to work on! Secondly, once I start a session I usually use a few different sizes, so I need a bunch of plates! Lastly,, I ordered some gel plates from Temu, 1 plate in each size, as I wanted to compare their less expensive plates with Gelli Art and Gel Press, and Temu accidently shipped 4 or 5 extra size 8" x 10's and a few 6" x 6", which weren't on my order, so happy freebies!!@@PaintedPaperStudio
Thank you Ginger! As for the channel's growth so far, I feel so lucky 😍 I think just showing up (and showing up as myself, quirks and all) is what is helping.
Thank you for your kind words, Donna. This one really is a bit hard to follow, and I do apologize for that. I think it works its way out during that series of videos, but I intend to create another color-mixing video soon that will (hopefully) be easier to follow. Thank you so much for being here 🥰
Hi Suzanne - I'm sorry that I did not do a better job of explaining the process. I hope to do another color mixing video where I spell out the process more concisely. Thank you for watching 🥰

Thank you Susi! I'm working on the next video right now 🥰
Love this concept! 0:23

OMGosh - Temu's loss is your gain! That is so cool Deanna 😍
This is cool but confusing for me. Thanks for sharing❤️
Susan - I agree; it can be confusing, and I rarely do it perfectly - it's just fun to explore a limited color range. 💜
I’m a patreon of Donnas I love her so much. I keep meaning to do this but I have never gotten around to it because I’m too lazy😂
Get around to it - it's really fun, Cindy (and a great way to spend your time when you're hiding from family members 😂) 😍
✨💖✨
TFS! I love color mixing But I am really impressed with how many subscribers you have already! 😮 I'd love to know your secret, lol 😉.

Jackie, I love your videos and found this interesting but a bit too fast to follow. I’m going to keep trying.

I don't understand the exercise. Maybe if you had explained it at the beginning I would have stayed with you longer.
Thanks for your input, Leslie - I'll try to explain it better another time. Thank you for watching.
This lost me completely
