A silent movie from Sally Hirst?! Funnily enough, my mind conjured up your voice anyway 😅. Great freebies - I've binged many today already. Now to the making part... Thanks, Sally. Anyone watching this and wondering - Sally's full courses are top-notch, packed with skills info and friendly, supportive artist forum chat. (Lesley)

Thanks for your ongoing generosity, Sally. I found your UA-cam channel by hearing about you and your work from other artists who I admire. So I had to check your work out and am so glad I did. Thanks again.

Hi Sally. I have been following your videoes and got so much out of them🥀😊 Thank you for posting. Recently I discovered, that I have developed a great sesitivity to acrylic mediums and get really sick when using them. Do you know of any other glue/medium/substance that can make tissue paper transparent/see through so I can used it in collage making ibteresting layers? Kind regards Nina

Hi Sally. Thanks for your great videos😊🥀 Unfortunately it turns out that I get really sick from using the acrylic mediums. I wonder if you know of an alternative glue that will make the tissue paper transparent/translucent when glued down? Best, Nina

The artist Jacki Bernardi recently did an experiment with papers just like this but also had physician's paper in the experiment. She found it becomes transparent when you wet it with water before laying it down on gloss medium and then covering it with gloss medium. You can later go over it with mat medium to stop the shine.

This was very informative and helpful. Thanks for the demo and practical hints. It’s great to hear from an experienced artist.

FYI Bristol board, also known as Bristol paper, originated in Bristol, England around 1800. It's named after Frederick Hervey, the 4th Earl of Bristol, who was an art collector and associated with visiting cards and the fine arts. Early Bristol boards were often made by local stationers.

Thanks for this. Saves me from buying lots new colours in printing inks/paints.

ua-cam.com/video/_CmZzR8slys/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared Hi Sally I am looking for something a bit bigger that my Xcut Xpress and have found your videos really useful...so a big thanks from me! I do not have a big budget, so I was pleased with your "battle" results. Have you tried the press mentioned in the youtube video above at all? Many thanks Sue

I wonder if parchment paper would work

I can't find wall art rice paper in the USA. I can recommend another paper that goes transparent quite well with gloss medium; medical exam paper. It's the stuff they cover the table with before you lie on it. It is inexpensive too!

Thank you very much for this video, Sally, it's really useful. There seem to be several Golden gloss mediums so please could you say which one you use, or would any of them work?

what was the conclusion on the pittura was it suitable for oils?

Like my personal guardian angel, Sally always appears with just the right course at just the right time. I’m signed up and looking to soak up more of your experience Sally. Thank you! 😊

I've taken 3 of Sally's online art courses and I *highly* recommend them to all my creative friends. Sally's course structures are well thought out and the content, the nuts and bolts, is impressive, generous and fun! I enjoy the chat with other students who are always so encouraging and inspiring. As is Sally! (Lesley 👋).

Hi Sally, I am wondering if an electric die cutter would work as I am some neck and shoulder issues? Many thanks for demo on various die cut machines.

Yeh, sounds perfect, New subby!!

Really useful thank you.

What a great tutorial on an unusual stencil technique. AND I loved learning all about the different pastes, gels, grounds etc. PLUS really cool ways to paint them and get a range of effects. This is a triple hitter tutorial! I’m off to try for myself! And great stencils! You go, Stencil Girls! And Sally.

This is super helpful! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Also enjoying the other comments and tips.

Thank you Sally…….loves

Thank you for precious information!

Can pouring acrylics be used on the plate?

Hi did you ever try the Intaglio Water-Based Ink, Opaque White and how was it for opacity? staying power if painting over? would it remix ?

Thanks Sally. I’ve been using different paints with my Gel plate and now I understand why I am getting the different results with each. Question- what are you using to wipe the plate between your pulls? I always have a tough time with paint getting stuck to the corners and edges. Also, have you ever mixed Golden fluid with retarder?

Very helpful to see how transparent the toddy and wall art papers were! Thank you for your demonstration.

Amazing! What is the benefit of using Gold Open paints? Thanks.

Ms Hirst thank you for the discussion of preparation of surfaces, both board and paper. As an old printmaker I get very irritated at terms used by folks who use terms, and suggest process which are not archieval. Especially if that individual has a traditional art education. I love your instruction and professional terms. It is wonderful. Thank you!

The mag mix is better if you have asthma or other health conditions were powders trouble you..😊

It's was a very good lesson about transparency. Learned a lot. Can you say what brand of gloss medium you use? The exact name because here where I live it's hardcto find products so I must order them online and it helps to have the exact name of the products. Thanks for those tips and the links in your site 😊

Sally, this has been *amazingly* helpful, answered so many of the questions I had! Thanks so much ❤

Thank you for so generously sharing you knowledge and experience. I’m learning a lot. Love your work and hope to take a class.

Thanks for the tutorial

Does it say "Cold Brew" on the package?

The Xcut Press is not available any where. Would love to have one. Where can I find it?

Tech question Sally just wondering what the blanket thickness is for the XCut that you are using here to print your collagraph and drypoint?

Quirky Queens Journals told me about your channel today. I have an Accuquilt Go machine and I'm going to try this soon. I think it should work well and since I don't quilt anymore, it's available to use for printing. Thanks for the videos!

Really useful info & demo, thank you very much

Thank you so much for sharing your talent! Inspiring!

Thank you for sharing this info you just answered 80% of my questions on printmaking with acrylics, and saved me many dollars. I am wondering still if the acrylics and mag mix would work for dry point ( plastic) etchings?

Amazing info! Thank you so much for sharing.

Hello Sally, did you ever tried a pastapress for printing a dry needleprint?

thanks a lot. was wondering about copy paper if it's safe to use if you want to sell the work. As you say it should be fine because its covered by matte medium and it shoud take a LOT of time to age..

Great video! Good information. Thanks

Hello from Beautiful British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦 ❤🎉😂😊

I'm so impressed! I have a Sizzix Big Shot which I'm going to try out . . . thank you Sally!

That was amazing for a beginner who would like to try printmaking. Found the sizzix and the Bira got the best clear results what do you think⁉️🤩

Thanks Sally. Another great video. What brand is the fibre paste?

Thank you Sally do you think this mix could be used on canvas as a ground for watercolours, instead of using watercolor ground

This is so helpful! I have been using Open Medium with my heavy body but may not be using enough. Are you cleaning the plates with a baby wipe or cloth dipped in soapy water? I have such a hard time cleaning my plates. Enough using Open Medium. Thanks!
