I actually laughed at the grumpy person who tried to leave a negative comment about the background noise and ended up asking who ate them!! I for one really appreciate your videos!!💕💕💕

[@wendysinclairsart]

Thank you Mags, I appreciate your support 😊

[@barbriley583]

Just 🥰 lovely

[@wendysinclairsart]

Thank you 😊

[@DreamyBohemian]

Beautiful prints! I’ve been trying to copy a batik botanical but I was trying to mix the color in one pull. This was very helpful!

[@wendysinclairsart]

Thank you & glad you found it helpful 😊

[@jenniferwren76]

They look amazing!

[@wendysinclairsart]

Aussie Jen thank you so much 😊

[@bronwynfourie7571]

Just loved your botanicals as well as your teaching style....I learnt a lot so am hoping you might be back, I am trying to make muted and neutrals for my new mixed media classes and backgrounds.....no brights. Am a beginner and struggle somewhat. Thanks so much. xox

[@wendysinclairsart]

Thank you. With your muted & neutrals, try & work with a limited palette to start with. You’d be surprised how many colours/tints you can mix with 3-4 colours plus white/black 😊

[@susanlaskey7778]

Loved watching your process. I do, however, find the design on your tabletop a bit distracting. Can u put a white paper over it? Thanks. Sue

[@avanellehansen4525]

New viewer and subscriber. Beautifully done! I'm inspired;

[@wendysinclairsart]

Thank you 😊

[@zartist]

Interesting, but the flowered acrylic gelli press mount is very confusing. I have no idea how you work using it!

[@wendysinclairsart]

Sorry, I’m not sure what you mean.

[@maureensmith4993]

Wendy, I love your work, can you advise where to buy the deli paper from, I’m struggling to find a stockist. You sound Aussie, like I am. I love experimenting with my gelli plate.

[@wendysinclairsart]

Thank you Maureen. You can get 12” x 12” sheets from [e-mail] I got my boxes of deli paper from USA but can’t remember where.

[@63viet]

Thank you for your informative videos. Can you use watercolor paper to lift the paint off the gel mat?

[@wendysinclairsart]

I haven’t tried but can’t see why it wouldn’t work. Let me know if you do try it 😊

[@lindaspaulding1021]

Wondering what tool your using to go over the paper in the video.

[@wendysinclairsart]

It's called a Baron

[@pelican774]

Wonderful video, thank you so much! What are you using to rub the deli paper with?

[@donnacarraway9182]

I would love to know the process that you used for the blue and green fern print that you made before you started filming. It’s my favorite! I’ve been trying to get something like that for days! One thing that I just realized is that the acrylic paint that I have been using is too thick for ferns. I need to get some Golden or Atelier maybe. Lovely outcomes! Thank you!!

[@wendysinclairsart]

Thanks Donna. Unfortunately I can’t remember what I did but your paint should be ok if you just apply a thin layer.

[@paulinelittlewood1229]

What do you do with your prints?

[@wendysinclairsart]

I either add as collage to mixed media on canvas, or apply to wooden cradle, apply varnish and hang

[@roxannethompson9431]

I would love to do this. Looks like fun. Are you using the same roller to apply each color? Do you rinse the roller between each color?

[@wendysinclairsart]

Hi, I only use 1 roller. I roll it on paper to get rid of any excess paint. Seems to work fine. Have fun 😀

[@kathleenrobbins7544]

Beautiful prints! Do you have a video that shows how you create the collage on the canvas with the deli paper?

[@wendysinclairsart]

Thank you Kathleen. If you go to our short called “Adding collage to an abstract artwork” you can see the process. I use Gloss or Matte Medium to glue on and cover the top also. If you have any questions, let me know.

[@wendysinclairsart]

I might make a short video to show exactly what I do 😊

[@wendysinclairsart]

Hi Kathleen, just uploading a video showing how to collage now 😊

[@CraigsOverijse]

Hi Wendy first time viewing your channel enjoyed your process what tool did you use to take the detail print the thing you were rubbing over the back? thanks for the sharing

[@wendysinclairsart]

Hi, welcome. Glad you enjoyed our video. I think the tool you mean is a baron. Here’s a link to look at one type. Just google baron for gel printing 😊🎨 mixedmediastore.com.au/shop/gelli-printing/gel-plate-tools/speedball-red-baren/

[@CraigsOverijse]

@@wendysinclairsart thanks for this will have look and see if I can find something like that here Im in Japan

[@doodlebertdesigns]

@@CraigsOverijse any suppliers for woodblock printing should be able to help you...

[@donnacarraway9182]

I made a really nice smooth one from a furniture skid and super glued an old drawer pull to it and it is awesome! I saw it made on KZbin.💕

[@wendysinclairsart]

Great idea 😊

[@Engelhafen]

Who ate all the people making so much noise in the background / let them know you are trying to film

[@wendysinclairsart]

My apologies. My husband was on a conference call in the next room.

[@begosanchezfotografia9304]

I like the technique and colors used but you are lacking composition in those prints.

[@avanellehansen4525]

Beautiful prints but the filming makes me seasick.

[@wendysinclairsart]

Sorry about that - getting better with practice
