Gel Printing and Mixed Media Video #8 Adding Paint
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 кві 2024
- This last installment of the Gel Printing and Mixed Media series is quite a long one. As I got into the recording of the clips, I realised that this could have been a series of it's own!
Painting techniques I demonstrate in this video include Glazing, Negative Painting, Direct Painting and Indirect Painting.
The colours that I use depend on the colours of the gel printed tissues. In this case, I used Titanium White, Indian Yellow, Quin Gold, Transparent Red Iron Oxide, Dioxazine Purple, Ultramarine Blue, Sap Green, Burnt Umber and Paynes Grey. These are mostly Golden Heavy Bodied acrylics rather than the Golden Open, which I use for gel printing. I don't need the extra drying time for these techniques.
If you have any questions please leave a comment! Thanks for watching!
If you ever want to have your tissue paper smooth when adhering to any surface first mist (with water) both sides of the tissue paper just before gluing onto surface. This technique will work with any paper as it allows the paper fibers to expand before adhering therefore no wrinkles. Hope that helps .
I just tried that but my Art Spectra tissue isn't strong enough. At some point I want to try Carnival's Wet Strength tissue. From what I have seen on UA-cam, it would create some new possibilities. Honestly, though, I rather like the slight wrinkles that I get. They create some interesting texture when I glaze.
@@KitBellArtist it is a delicate process and I have seen other artist use plastic sheets to support the tissue so it is less likely to tear. I would love to find a retailer in Australia that sells the Carnival's Wet Strength tissue at a reasonable price. I agree wrinkles make for an interest surface.
Watched all 8 videos, a really fresh approach to Gelli printing and how to use the prints to create such beautiful work. Thank you.
@@veronicadrillsma738 You are welcome!
Absolutely gorgeous! I’ve truly enjoyed this series. Thank you!
Inspiring series. Thank you!!
You are so welcome! 🤗
Will you please do more of these videos? I like the way you explain the process while doing it. I have stashes of beautiful prints but struggle to put them together!
I will doing more videos. Is there a particular part of the process you would like to see more of?
Kit, you’re an excellent teacher and so generous with your time and talent. It was so interesting to learn abt your process, it’s fascinating. I was also intrigued with your “opaque” 3 step series prints. They, like all your others, are so special and inviting. Thank you for letting us watch as you create your beautiful artwork.
I agree!
Thank you so much!
Delighted to have just stumbled across your channel, Kit! I love your friendly and helpful demeanor, how you explain your thought processes so well, all your amazing techniques, your in-depth knowledge of different media, and so much more. I am teaching my first mixed media class to 16 arts & crafts society members in one week ... eeeek! But watching you helped confirm to myself to just relax, be myself, be helpful, share what I know, enjoy the process... and all will be well.😊 With mixed media, there's just no shortage of things to try. Right?!
Thanks so much...that is one really beautiful piece you're creating!!
Thank you so much! And glad to hear that you are passing your knowledge along as well. And you nailed with the "just relax, be myself, be helpful, share what I know, enjoy the process" part. That is exactly what it is all about!
I’ve been watching your videos and I am mesmerized by your work. Do you have any classes online of all the artists that I watched you’re my favorite. I’d love to learn from you.
I am doing a couple of in person workshop in the next month but I don't have anything planned for online. Perhaps in the fall.
I just discovered your stream, your work is fabulous. Your process makes me want to work with my ecoprints again
Ecoprints are very interesting! I love the random nature of things created indirectly, like ecoprints and gel prints. Things "happen" that are quite unique and very beautiful
@@KitBellArtist I agree, I feel exactly the same way about the beautiful random effects that just appear. I have worked a lot with ecoprints, but I always found it difficult to add paint to them without it looking out of place, that's why it fascinated me how you enhanced your piece by carefully glazing
@@brigitteshantieaglemeare4350 I had to overcome the same hurdle when trying to take my gel prints further. Glazing lets you sneak up sideways on an idea!
@@KitBellArtist thanks for that Kit
Excellent series! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
So glad I came across your channel!! Absolutely fantastic 👏, inspirational...great explanations. Thank you 😊

You are so welcome!
The algorithm suggested this after I watched you 😂🎉
Just discovered your series and love your work! Great demos! Thank you
Awesome, thank you!
Oh! I love your work!❤
Thank you! 😊
So right up my alley….you do similar to my work and you explain everything so well. Thank you for sharing your ideas and your process!!! ❤
You are so welcome!
wonderful !!!
Thank you!
Beautifully done. New subscriber.
Thanks for the sub!
Why are your brayer handles SO clean??? I noticed a couple of people commenting that they watched all 8 of your videos. I subscribed but I still only see three.
If you go to my channel, I have set up a playlist with all 8 videos in the right order. One of the side benefits with the Golden Open paint is that the brayer is really easy to clean at the end of a session.
Das ist so so schön, genau mein Ding - Vielen Dank. Brauche mehr von Deiner Art zu arbeiten, hab gleich mal abonniert, dann verpass ich kein Video . Mit besten Grüßen Rahasya
Thank you so much! Glad you are finding the series helpful.
@@KitBellArtist not only helpful they are so inspiring and beauty, they touch my heart and make me happy thank You so much
New Sub, Love your work and your explanation of what you are doing and why. TFS 🤙❤
Thanks and welcome
Me too 🎉❤
thanks for the sub!
Excellent , Kit ! What about preparing the canvas? Thanks for sharing
I use artist quality canvas that is already primed. I use cradled panel for smaller works. Once complete, I apply a coat of Golden Isolation Coat and then a Satin varnish with UV protection.
This is great, so detailed. Are you using watercolour?
i am using Golden Open Acrylics for the printing on tissue part and regular Golden heavy bodied acrylic for the painting part. For the glazing, i mix the acrylic with medium to make it transparent which looks like watercolour.
@@KitBellArtist thanks Kate. The background is wonderful. I hope to see how you did it.
If you visit my channel there is a playlist which will show you the process from start to finish😊
@@claresmith9545 I am planning some more videos and that will be one of them!
Do you do anything to prepare your canvas before you start with the collage?
I use an artist quality, primed canvas. I don't add anything before collaging my layers. For smaller work, I use a cradled panel but I find them too heavy once you get up to 20x20. Once I am done with a piece, I apply Goldens Isolation Coat and then a satin varnish with UV protection.
Was the large botanical all one piece? How did you apply it?
Very carefully ha ha! It was all one piece. I usually start at the top and apply matte medium to the canvas in a strip a few inches wide. Then I line it up and put it down. I then apply matte medium over the tissue along that strip. Then I lift the tissue, apply medium to the next strip, put it down and put medium over it. I just work my way down the canvas. There will be wrinkles but to me that is part of the aesthetic.
@@KitBellArtist Thank you! I so admire your work!
What do you do with your art work, do you sell them?
Yes I do. I submit them to Federation of Canadian Artists juried shows. One of my new pieces just won 1st Place at a regional art show in Kamloops!
Wonderful teaching style, articulation, and intriguing techniques. Thank you for sharing! I have subscribed and hope to enjoy more of your videos.
I am working on some more videos!
