thank you so much for this, one question ( probably someone already asked but cannot go through all 200 comments) how about drying? that’s the thing I struggle with oil bars 🥹

Lovely piece!!! This squares collage technique is so beautiful! Please check out my art channel as well. Hope you like it! Thanks and have a wonderful weekend!

You should photocopy those sketchbook painted grids and then you can just print them off and stick them down for sketching on. You definitely need to make a copy of the larger one because it’s beautiful❤

❤❤❤❤❤

Hi, I made a gelli plate and after one use it kinda melted. So I melted it, strained it added more gelatine and then actually got about 6 prints out of it. When I started using it, it was still cool from the fridge. Then it broke down again. Layers of it were coming off with the paper......it's about 82 degrees in my art room, warm but I didn't think hot. If there's help out there, I'd sure like to save it. Thanks so much!

Hello! ty so much for the tutorial, can i use linseed oil instead of saffflower?

❤

Magnificent!!! I love how happy you are ❤

That’s what I need right now , a coffee a candle and do some art ! Where are you that’s it’s so cold at this time of year ? 116 F here today lol

it's amazing 👏 🤩 😍 love it ❤

It’s fabulous!❤ I could see your determination not to be trifled with when you first laid down that blue 😂❤ the brush stroke texture really conveys the turbulence of the storm clouds! The contrast between the blue and the pastels is great IMO Love it!❤ We’ll done you!

❤❤❤

I just made one but a little different recipe but only one side is hard and the other has little fissures in it when I move it because it's not cured all the way. it has been 36 hours and I have no idea what I did wrong!

PRETTY :0

O my, this is beautiful! Thank you for taking us through the whole process from the start. You are an exeptional artist!

A Pixelated pastel patchwork! I love it! About half way through I was thinking of an abstracted landscape, like if you had cut up your original piece and placed it randomly on the canvas and it seemed you may have had the same idea because it looked like you were exploring a fractured horizon line and broken clouds? Very interesting and beautiful result and I’m excited to see where you go with this❤

Thank you so much for this! You've inspired me to start using my stacks of gelli papers! Would love to see what you are going to do with these...

Beautiful

These turned out so lovely. I really loved the one on linen. Making papers is so addictive and it’s really fun playing around with how to use them. I’ve been lightly sanding the bubbles and wrinkles out once my papers are dry. It does remove a little of the colour of the paper but it creates some nice pale lines and spots, which gives me the aged door look I’m going for.

Thank you for this very informative video.

My understanding if you have bubbles in it will come out in your artwork.

What's the recipe to make this amount of gel.

Beautiful

Beautiful idea❤❤❤

Beautiful 👏 thanks Selina

Use your heavy body paint to pick up

Wow your voice is so relaxing. You should try ASMR. ❤❤

I’m glad you like it! I have both sorts and I prefer the Gelli plate to the other one. I find the Gelli one has more give but I’ve been way from my main art supplies for 4 months. I’m going home this week, finally! so will check them out for you, and will start your new course! It’s possible I prefer it because it’s softer and I started printing on a homemade one.

hi selina! i recently subsxribed, so it's good to be a member of your group, although i have been lurking for a while now. i like your content. well done, you..keep it up, girl! michele

I love art supplies. Watching this was satisfying for me. It help me not to buy and just watch!

hi. i liked some aspects of your video. however, you have given out some false information, which disappointed me somewhat. for example, there is no way oil sticks take 6 months to dry! duh. a few other bits of advice are also incorrect but i can't be bothered mentioning them. good sketch, but. i love joan eardley's art. michele

❤❤❤ I am so happy you got the graphite power - it truly will last forever. I've had mine for over 20 years, and it's not even half gone. Your color palette swatching has my head spinning it's so beautiful! Thank you so much for the mention Selina🥰

Lovely haul Selina! Jackie makes me buy things too 😂❤ I find my commercial gel plate much hardier than the one I made so I just use the bought ones now.

Hi Selina, fellow Australian here. Excellent tutorial and good to see it made in real time. Thank you. I made a gel plate about 5 years ago and used it for quite some time. Unfortunately I live in the sub-tropics and our summer heat and humidity start to melt it and it goes a bit gooey. I should dig the paint out of the dents and re-melt it. Then keep it in the fridge in the summer I guess. I admit though that I do not keep it sandwiched with acetate sheets. Would that make a difference? Thanks for sharing this process with us. ❤

Good

Hi Selina your paintings are beautiful and your video with the mobile phone is perfect

So happy to find this video! I'm an oil painter that is switching to pigment/oil sticks, and I have a lot of paint in tubes I can now make sticks out of. Thank you!

Where's a good type of mica for real red? I keep finding powders to be hot pink. Besides the cochineal big red I don't know if I want to even use that. Thanks always for your help!

Beautiful, Selina!❤

What kind of paint are you using for the white, every one of mine comes out looking silver or pearly looking

Thank you Selina!

I mix mine outdoors, using an old electric frying pan....much safer than indoors, and whip the mix with an old whisk to cool down quicker, then seal in jars with lids.

Your work and techniques are so original and inspiring. Thank you

Colours are just divine. Lovely lovely work

Feel better soon!😊

Watch out for part 2 tomorrow 😊🥰

I added a bit if white pigment. Not much and one shade deeper from what shade I want. It adds a little more opacity to the pastel. Sheers are nice but so are very opaque colors.

I love to see you painting ❤🙏👍
