Opaque vs Transparent Layers in Gel Printing–Tutorial Tidbits

Looking for PRODUCTS USED in this video? Click "SHOW MORE" below! For this week’s Tidbit Barb and I are back in Sedona playing with the gel plate. Successful gel printing is all about the layering. Barb works with Amsterdam acrylic paints, so she did some research on the symbols they use on their tubes to indicate each color's level of transparency, which she explains very clearly and completely. I will show you how and why this information (of any paint brand) matters when you are creating layered gel prints. ❤️ SUPPORT THE ARTIST MAKE A ONE TIME DONATION– https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/PaperPaintings ⭐️ SUPPLIES THAT SUPPORT A SMALL BUSINESS– MY Stencil designs: https://bit.ly/3JSI2cB My Foam Stamp designs: https://bit.ly/3vvJDzZ Speedball 6-inch Brayer: https://shrsl.com/3cm7i Speedball 2-inch Brayer: https://shrsl.com/3ll3q Gel Plate: https://shrsl.com/3vcn7 Gel Plate Storage Tin: https://shrsl.com/3dffv 9x12 Rice Paper Pad: https://shrsl.com/3c7o8 Amsterdam Paints: https://shrsl.com/3s9o4 Nonstick Table Covering: http://shrsl.com/23tux ⭐️ SUPPLIES FROM AMAZON – Golden Fluid Acrylic Paints: https://amzn.to/38bPemV Fredrix Cradled Canvas Panel: https://amzn.to/3OTsWYe ⭐️ JOIN MY MAILING LIST– http://eepurl.com/KkA-L ⭐️ AVAILABLE ORIGINAL ART– MERCH: https://www.paperpaintings.com/shop ORIGINALS: https://www.paperpaintings.com/available-artwork ⭐️ JOIN MY PATREON COMMUNITY– Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ElizabethStHilaire For MORE in-depth content, gel printing, collage, watercolor, painting, videos check out my inspiring Patreon community.
