In this week's Tutorial Tidbit I will show you my tips and tricks for creating complex layered gel prints. Really you have to consider color combinations and combinations of patterns. I am using my BIG Georgia O’Keeffe collection mask called Fanfare combined with Barb’s Bubble Blast design and layered with my Planes mask. All together these patterns really SING! Then add some opaque layers on top and a little bit of gold metallic and it’s a winner! Be sure to stay to the end to see my beautiful results!

Perfect video! Your pacing, your voice, your language are so so clear and easy to follow. And you don't talk too much. Everything is just right. Thank you for the great video.
Thank you kindly for your compliments. I tried to be all of those things!
You explain this process so well. I always have to stop and think hard about what each step is going to produce along the way. It doesn't always work out. But you make this seem so straightforward.
@@donnashultz3937 thanks so much, I really appreciate that Donna
Excellent! Thank you for breaking down how this works (light to dark, curves and geometrics, paint opacity) I’ve gotten more adventurous with my layering.
My pleasure! That’s wonderful, I hope you are getting great results
So easy to follow, no wating for layers to dry, very simple and beautiful. Tomorrow is Day 3 of my gelli printing career. Loved the video!
Wonderful, you will love it. The fluid acrylics are the best for fast dry and translucency
You're so good at explaining art stuff, especially gel prints. I'm inspired to make some now!
Awe thanks so very much Lisa!! I’m glad
They both turned out great! I don't tend to layer my gel prints but think I will now! Have a lovely weekend. x
Layering them makes for fantastic collage paper, which is my end goal. Glad you enjoyed it!
Oh man, by far the best gel plate video I’ve ever watched! You’re incredible! Thanks for the fab inspiration!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching
Thank you for the detailed narrative as you worked! It helps to see how the different scaled stencil patterns work together.
My pleasure Cynthia! Thanks for being here.
Awesome!
Thanks!
Circles are curvilinear/curvelinear/curvalinear is my favourite phrase from this video! You have invented a totally new word ♥ I will definitely be trying this, thank you xxx Kathryn
LOL I didn’t make it up. Look it up.
Thanks I’m glad you enjoyed it!
I love how these turned out.

Fantastic and very helpful thank you!
I have loads of gelli prints but haven't used them for anything!
I know they can be used for cards and collaging. But I'd love ideas what to put on top to make them more of a finished product...framed for the wall for example.
I don’t do that with my gel prints so I’m not sure. Maybe just take to a framer?
Happy I was directed to your channel. I have been "experimenting" with gelli printing and was told you are using poscha pens so here I am. :) Looking forward to watching some videos on things we can do with the gelli plate. TFS Live Aloha 🤙
Occasionally I do use Posca paint markers, yes. Thanks for being here!!
My pleasure! Thanks so much for being here
Thank you.. very helpful as I have been struggling with layering that gives me a desired result.
Oh great! Good luck. I also have online courses and Patreon with in-depth focus on gel printing
@@ElizabethStHilaire What is your Patreon?
@@EmilyBlitzer So easy.... Elizabeth St Hilaire! Also ALL my links are always below the videos in that info box. :)
This was such a great tutorial! I'd not thought of using ghost prints on the main print. So this helped me think more about the negative space. Not only did I learn a new technique, but also a new word. I'd always thought of linear as being lines, & curved as being, well, not lines lol. So I thought you were saying curvilinear sort of a a joke, but it's a real word. You guessed it, I'm not an art or geometry major lol. But it made me realize circles are lines, just not straight lines. I'll be 60 in July, bout time I learned that simple thing lol.
It’s never too late to learn something new. And the word for straight lines is actually rectilinear :-) there’s another new word for you!
You’re so young!
Very cool!
Thanks!!
Your videos are great. What kind of paper do you suggest when using the larger sized plates. I love the rice paper you use by it doesn't come very large.
I rarely use the large plates honestly. You can but the same rice paper in oversized sheets at the art supply store. It also comes in a roll. Or use multiple sheets? Some ideas.
Thank you, very informative….
My pleasure
Thank you !
My pleasure Bonnie
thanks. however...smooth side UP or smooth side DOWN?
Smooth side down on the plate
Thank you for an Amazing video packed with MUCH Interesting layers of prints. 👌‼️💐♥️ Toom@CapeTown
Thank you for watching! And for being here all the way from Cape Town. :-)
Hehehe reminds me of lizard skin the first two layers together ...I love lizards 😍😍😍😍😍
awesome!
PERFECT! I purchased the O'KEEFE set of stencils with the plan if making faux Turkish marbled papers. I just couldn't figure out the chess game if the order to layer them. Thanks so much!
It’s a lot is fun layering them. I hope you’ll give it a try and practice, practice!
I will. I'm re watching your video and taking notes ; )
@@avanellehansen4525 great!
Dot from UK
Simply gorgeous love from the UK, Dot x.
Hello from Mexico Dot! Thanks so much!
I feel your pain. My green thumb is brown. I live in the south and I could kill kudzu. Did I mention nothing kills that? I once had a silk plant look like it was on its last leg. I feel your pain
Exactly! We are the same
Gorgeous prints Elizabeth! I have all the materials but not the courage to give it a go. I need to organise my brain to work out the order of printing. I guess I have to work backwards? Not sure if I can get the rice paper sketch pad in the UK but I do have plenty of wet strength tissue that I can use .Thank you so much for this tutorial.xx
My pleasure Susan, just give yourself permission to PLAY that is how you learn and remember. I don't worry about the order of things when using translucent pigments because they all show through the layers like watercolor or stained glass. you just have to think about the order of things the using opaque pigments as they block out what's below them. Good luck!
Beautiful ! I was stressed during the whole video ! Your white sleeves !!! How can you not stain them through the whole process ?
Sometimes I do. I have paint on everything I own. LOL
Only plant I can keep is faux 😂 love your videos thank you beautiful work
Right??? Me too! Thanks Tracey
Right??? Me too! Thanks Tracey
For the initial plan for ordering the stencils, were you purposely going from small to large spaces? The results are glorious.
The layering of translucent colors allows each stencil to show through the next, unless you use opaque paint. For translucent layers I don't worry so much about the order, for opaque I do use a small pattern on top, so as not to block out too much of the previous layers. Glad you enjoyed it!
This was absolutely so gorgeous...watched it several times....just unpacked a couple of orders of your stencils from Joggles....as you do new examples I buy the supplies needed. I would love to do this in reds,oranges and magenta....how would I go about arranging my cols to produce this design. Just love you so much and am learning a LOTT🥰
Thanks for the support! Perhaps next week I’ll feature magenta!
Beautiful and very inspiring work. It is the first time i see one of your video. I 'll follow you from now for sure.
Actualy I have a gel plate but I haven't made anything yet.
I'm buying stuff like different color paint, papers of all sort etc...What I dont have yet is interesting stencils such as those you 've got. Can you please give some links from where I could find some?
Excuse my english, I'm french and i guess my english grammar is quite messy.
Your English is great! Thanks for taking the time to come in. The links to purchase all products are always below the video. But I can tell you that the center manufacturer will not ship to France. They will not ship to the EU because of taxes and excessive paperwork requirements. :-)
@@ElizabethStHilaire thanks for your Quick answer Elisabeth. So Joggles for exemple won't ship to France?
@@virginiedemozland4987
@@virginiedemozland4987 no. They do not.
Hi ,loved your video,just starting with gel printing and was wondering how you adhere the rice paper to card.Thanks
I’m making this for collage paper :)
How well does the rice paper work for making card panels with for cards?
I don’t know, I don’t make card panels. When I gel print for greeting cards, I print directly on the card blanks. But it is highly absorbent, it glues down, nice and flat without much effort, so I think it would be perfect.
@@ElizabethStHilaire cool! I was loving those prints and I like how the paper soaked up all the paint.
can you use these acrylic prints with encaustic?
Not sure, I do not work in encaustic
A fellow plant killer … I’m more a dead thumb, than a green thumb 😂
Lol. Awwww I’ve found my people! Unless it’s weeds, I apologise to plants when I buy them because it’s definitely survival against all odds (or me anyway). They’re just so fussy about water - not enough & “aaaaggghhh look how sad & floppy I am. Oops too late 🪦” or “gurgle gurgle stop drowning me” 🤷♀️ Never happy 🪴 (wouldn’t be surprised if the emoji turns brown!)
That’s so funny! Me too.
Hahahaha 😂
Like the botanical grim reaper. I have some attractive and realistic plastic succulents that I haven’t killed yet.
Golden liquid acrylic?
Golden Fluid Acryilcs, yes.
I could spend five thousand dollars on Golden Paints❤.
They are so so amazing!
🤩
I thought those were cucumbers in the thumbnail! 😂
You never know! :)
WIsh you make the stencils to fit cards Eudice
I have many 5x7 stencils.
@@ElizabethStHilaire I only see birds and women. I would love Okeef, apeacock other sets as I would think others would as well
@@euvid1 thank you Eudice
💕💕🤗
Who’s in charge of ordering paint? Snarky! Hard to get good help these days?
Terrible!! Very under staffed. LOLOLO
