I found that the best way to use gelatos for backgrounds in my artwork is to scribble them onto a palette (mine is a white cutting board from the dollar store that has a bit of texture), then pick up color with a damp brush. I have the two Iridescents sets, they're beautiful! For regular colors, find the cheapest kids set of gel crayons (Hippies from Amazon, 48 for under $10) They act exactly like the more expensive sets. Someone on KZbin did a comparison of gel crayons and found they all worked the same regardless of price. I agree. But Faber Castell has unique and beautiful colors. If you apply them directly to the paper, It's hard to blend away the lines. Have fun, they're a great medium to use. And I found that you can add a little colored pencil on top after they are dry.

Beautiful colouring Karen! I had to hold my breath when I saw you going over the coloured parts, but luckily it did not affect the pencils, which I was not aware of, so thank you so much for this tip. Love how it turned out, even the little scratch on the side disappeared! Excellent! 💜💙💚💛🧡

Karen if you use a baby wipe and take the color straight from the tube and then apply it to your page it gives a smooth texture. Also you can mix it with on a palette like you do watercolors and then apply it. It work best with water. I have all of these and love them. Take care🤗🤗🤗🤩🤩🤩

Hi Karen, as always your pictures and colors are beautiful. Really laughed at the sponge part,😅

The picture looks lovely Karen . The gelatos look like they are very versatile for many art projects and the fact you can blend the colours together is a bonus, plus they don’t appear to affect the oily crayons. Thanks for showing this product. 🇬🇧🦋🐇🦩

You can cut small pieces off with the spatula, put them in warm water in a spray bottle and make a pretty spray.

You can also press your crumb on the Fine palette with the spatula 😂

I really enjoyed watching you use them in your colouring books. I also have them and I’ve only ever used them in my art Journalling book. It was nice to see both mediums cross over. I agree as well I hate the crumbling pieces. I love the distress inks and hope to use them in my colour books soon. Thanks for another great tutorial. 👍🏻💖🎨🖌📚

Lol Karen 💖 when you tried the gelato the first time you reacted just like I did...I said, wow that’s creamy lol, I didn’t expect it to be so creamy but it was delightful...you sure found the right colors as this picture with the gelato is stunning absolutely gorgeous...It makes my eyes happy lol I know it’s silly but it’s just so pleasing to look at. Thank you so much for another gorgeous picture and wonderful video 💖💖.

Hi Karen, Lovely picture. I have a couple of suggestions. If you cut the bristles shorter on the 3 set of brushes it may make them more manageable. I also tried using a eye shadow wand with a palatte to apply the Gelato and it worked beautifully. Thanx for a great video

[@yazosoyo]

Gelatos are on my list! Still trying to figure out the logistics to get the distress inks you use. The only gelatos I can find are bright, primary colors 😒

These look so much fun. Wet or dry. Karen Valentine uses them in several videos.
