    These are great tips ❤❤ I tried to do last year's jjj but I fell into the perfectionist mindset. I started watching what everyone else was doing and trying to do what they were doing and I lost my own ideas. You have given me so many reasons to do this years challenge! Thank you

  • @theresapalmer7892
    @theresapalmer7892 5 днів тому

    Your gel prints are really beautiful. I have watched you teach them but have not had the courage because I feel like the mess needed to make them is just out of my comfort zone. I'm not that free in my art yet. I may give it a try when I finished destashing my art space and make room to do this. I'm excited to watch your July/ Gely videos.

    • @leighcreates
      @leighcreates 4 дні тому

      Thanks Theresa, one of the greatest tips I can give you is to not use a lot of paint. It makes for a messy printing session and the prints take longer to dry. Use thin layers to build up your prints and you will enjoy it more. I put my prints on the floor to dry (and any other free surface) and my working space is probably about a meter by 1.5 meters. You need a place for the gel plate, your pile of paper and a clean-off sheet, and the paints too. Cheers

I have a special built filter for my water like you said I can smell the chlorine and bleach when I run the cold water tap my dog doesn't even drink tap water.

    • @leighcreates
      @leighcreates 4 дні тому

      Thank you Teresa. A brayer, gel plate and some paints are the 3 vital things. You need paper to print on and somewhere to make your prints & lay them out to dry. I have a couple of videos for beginners in a playlist if you want to have a look. Good luck and have fun. ua-cam.com/play/PLLi2yzB7tqeCu29mWr2vrqz3FKEB0njly.html

    Janet, for some reason I can't add an answer to your question, so I'm hoping you see this. A tip-in is something that wasn't part of the original construction of the book that provides extra real estate for journaling etc. Is generally hinged to a page. It can flip out, up or down. This is from Sharon of Mad Paper Crush 'Tip-ins are basically something attached to a journal page on one side that allows it to “flip” - revealing more of the page. They are a way to add more journaling space to your journals - or even to add a whole new page to a completed journal.'

      Thank you very much and welcome. This style of painting is very basic, it's really the way the colours work together that make it look 'clever'. I'll be doing more of these after I get through the July challenges.

    What great tips! I think I needed this little reminder to just have fun. I’m going at a very slow pace with Maggie May 😂. But I am excited to do more. I get so worried that my paintings are looking very child like. As a beginner I just need to embrace that and keep going. Thank you for sharing these valuable tips! Hugs 🤗❤️🎨

      You got this Tamara, to coin a phrase. Don't worry about how long it is taking you to complete Maggie May, be proud that you are still going with it, and learning along the way. Happy you like my 'advice'. Hugs & cheers
