I have mixed gel medium with Brushos amd have them in little pots, however, I want those tubes! I will take your suggestion and Google empty tubes. Very clever and fun way to play with the gelli plate! I have enjoyed all your videos on ways to play with our plates.
Thank you, Birgit! I tried it with regular acrylics and had a nice result, too! Less transparency, but still nice. Thank you, too, for showing what you can do with the prints! That's very helpful ;)
I want to try this for sure. I love metal tubes (reminds me of those upscale European toiletries from days gone by) but will probably try with those "clear-ish" silicone travel tubes (I've seen them at Target). I love the transparency of the colours you created and when you had the shapes going off the edges of the paper! Thanks for sharing, Birgit! :-)
wat toch weer een mooi idee van jou Birgit! Weet je nog waar je die kleine tubetjes vandaan hebt? De meeste die ik vond waren 50ml..Ik zou dit graag eens proberen...groetjes en bedankt voor weer een leuk en inspirerend filmpje!
I think 🤔 this is absolutely stunning and fantastic and awesome.......thank you so much. It’s really really awesome 😎 I’ve learnt such a lot from you. You’re so talented and clever and amazing xxx Mags
Supplies: Liquitex Matte Gel, Brusho powdered pigments (wonder how other brands of pigment would work?), fillable aluminum tubes (I saw some on Amazon and Blicks - not great prices though). May try silicone travel tubes or needleless syringes. Admittedly, I love the idea of mixing my own paints and glazes.
One of my fav Gelli Print videos so far! I love printmaking and Watercolour and the finished look reminded me of the transparency of watercolour. Wondering if you could use pigment (powdered) instead of Brusho? Also, are Brushos lightfast? Love the tubes by the way!
Can someone please explain to me the purpose of creating art journals by the dozen? Or the fervor and effort put into such things? I honestly don’t understand!
I so much enjoyed this video! I wonder if Pearlex powders would work in the same way? Maybe i will have a little experiment and try. Not sure id mess about with the tubes though, a bit messy but still, a good idea. Id maybe use a syringe, thats a thought! Keep these great videos coming Birgit, you are an asset to Geli Arts!

Hi Birgit How about creating more detailed instruction and putting these lessons on “Blueprint” or “Skill Share”. Etc. Your wonderful talent should be shared. I would sign up immediately.
Help! I don’t have any Matte gel medium. I have modeling paste, transfer gel from deco foil and distressed collage medium matte. Will any of those work and make the image a little more see-through like the gel does?
It is very translucent. When you print with regular paint, especially darker colors, you will not see as much of the under laying layers unless you use only the translucent colors and keep away from the semi transparent and the opaque colors.
Awesome. Love making homemade art supplies. I'm not familiar with Brushos. I wonder, are they the same as Magicals? .... Love your journal pages, Bridget.
Interesting but filling the tube thing has "big mess" and wasted product written all over it...at least in my budget-minded hands.Plus, I'd never use up what's in the tubes. I would mix much smaller portions on a palette & transfer to plate.

Hmm....just mixed my paints up using the EXACT measurements - some colours have gone very grainy after a few minutes? I used Liquitex matt medium like in the video but some colours mixed and others don't so be careful! I looked up BRUSHO THICKENER and that is for monoprinting and mixing up with Brusho. It's been a real waste of expensive ingredients. Does anyone have any ideas as to why ? I mixed them up in the right order too. It's a really strange texture.
Brigitte is an artistic genius ❤❤❤
My goodness! Absolutely beautiful!

You always come up with such innovative ideas, and this is no exception. And it looks like so much fun!
Birgit, that was amazing! Your finished pieces are incredible!
What a great technique and beautiful work shown at the end of the video! 💕💕
Great to discover new ways of using brusho paints too! Thank you for the inspiration! Kate x
Wonderful! I enjoyed your use of transparent paints. And the Simon & Garfunkel :)
Spectacular results. Have to experiment with this technique one day. Thank you so very much. 🙏🏼❤️👌
Thank you for these brilliant ideas. I have many Gelli Arts videos and I love using my gelli plate. It's very addictive. xx
thank you for teaching this new technique to us - very pretty results
Thank you, Birgit! I tried it with regular acrylics and had a nice result, too! Less transparency, but still nice. Thank you, too, for showing what you can do with the prints! That's very helpful ;)
love love love your technique & results. thanks so much for all the ideas, especially for using the stencils in collage. XO
That was so fun and loved how they all came out. Thank you.
Wow! I love that! I'm going to find out where I can get some of those tubes. What a great idea! 😍
Thanks! You will find the tubes at any well assorted art supply store. Just google empty paint tubes and you will find plenty :)
Once again, you have given me so many ideas. Thanks!
Gorgeous work!

Birgit, thanks so much! I've got so many ideas running through my head, it might explode! :-D
So clever and with beautiful results, as usual. :)

Revisiting this video. Such fun! If only I can find my Brushos - I'm sure they're in the studio somewhere ;--) Thanks, Birgit!

Brush is dye based so not lightfast..
Beautiful
Awesome , awesome .................
Wow so cool.
Top rate, only wish you had included a list of the supplies. Also the music selected was great.
I thought the same thing and then rewatched and saw that the supplies were demonstrated at the beginning of the video! ;-)
Can someone please explain to me the purpose of creating art journals by the dozen? Or the fervor and effort put into such things? I honestly don’t understand!
Amazing!!

Thank you so much! And yes!! Do some experimenting! It is fun and sometimes you discover the most awesome stuff! :)
Very very clever
I would love to know where to get the tubes also.... Thanks for the cool ideas
At any well assorted art supply store. Just google empty paint tubes and you will find plenty :)
Great! Empty paint tubes? I did not know about that 😊
Inspiring!
This looks great!
Could you please print out a specific list of products used or alternatives?
What are "Brushos?"
Thanks!
Brushos (brand and product name) are watercolour powders (pigments). Color Burst (Ken Oliver) or Magicals (Lindy's Stamp Gang) are similar.

SUPER!
HOw is this paint different from regular paint? Perhaps I missed that part.
It is very translucent. When you print with regular paint, especially darker colors, you will not see as much of the under laying layers unless you use only the translucent colors and keep away from the semi transparent and the opaque colors.
Not sure if I could get the paint in the tubes without using a syringe but, where do we buy the tubes please? Thanks!

Awesome. Love making homemade art supplies. I'm not familiar with Brushos. I wonder, are they the same as Magicals? .... Love your journal pages, Bridget.
Thanks! I'm not sure if they are the same but I have tried some and they work but need a bit more water. Just have fun experimenting :)

Yes, why not? Whatever works best for you :)
i should find out what is a glaze paint?
Joanna Recine glaze paint just means it’s a transparent color. The brusho powder and matte medium makes a transparent paint
Sorry to misspell your name... Birgit.
no worries :)
Birgit Koopsen hallo Birgit.. in Germany gel medium is Acryl Binder? Love your Work.
Birgit Koopsen brushos? Is Acryl Farbe? Oder tousche Farben ?
