Just found this video. Love it. You are very through. Everytime I thought of question you had just answered it. Can't wait to try this method.

[@naysworld]

Awesome! Let me know how it turns out.

[@secondhandrose6214]

I love what you've done here, how innovative of you! You go girl!

[@angie9430]

Thank-you for a great demonstration x from the UK

[@saundrayork767]

I love what you're doing here-- its very similar to something I do. I use water soluble crayons and build a medium thick layer which I then allow to dry completely. I use very wet but not dripping paper and transfer with a large brayer, aka: rolling pin. Sometimes I rework the plate for multiple prints. Thanks for sharing this!

[@naysworld]

Saundra York thanks so much. I would love to see your process. It's so satisfying to pull that print, isn't it?

[@saundrayork767]

I have a couple projects to finish; but then I'll have time to do this and I will try to record it. Yes it is satisfying!! When I finish, I put them up on the wall to stare at for a few days/weeks

@saundra york im glad im not the only one 😊

[@HopskotchBunny]

This is so Amazing, Thanks for the Inspiration.x💕🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@susanthatcher126]

Wow what a awesome technique. Great job it looked amazing.

[@wisecracker1294]

Very impressive - the only thing I wonder about is the use of detergent. Detergents break down and degrade paint. Couldn't you use acrylic gel medium instead? Also - I wonder how clay carving tools, made of rubber, would work for subtracting watercolor away to create highlights? Great video and you've made me want to try this. I actually have pieces of Plexiglass laying around.

[@reneecochran7563]

Yes, this is a very cool technique! It gives me lots of ideas, thank you so much for sharing your talent.

[@jolleystamper]

This is great! Good job, thanks for posting.

[@dudleydugoode2491]

Great stuff very impressed with that, I really liked how it looked before you went to print it on paper... I was like no way that is gonna look as good on paper especially when you said it dried up. Thanks.

[@dianestedman1789]

Very cool

[@evepaludan7713]

Wonderful technique and outcome.

[@juliagoulding6253]

Just found this and I'm impressed!

[@naysworld]

Julia Goulding thank you so much!

[@marilynnarnold811]

wow. I was about to rush out and buy a gelli plate etc. Now I can't wait to try this plexiglass thing. What kind of dishwashing liquid do I need?

[@seahorse5689]

Very cool technique! Thanks for sharing this.

[@naysworld]

Judy Mason appreciate you watching.

[@valu1827]

Beautiful print

[@kisiwa82]

[@Bully4oru]

Cool! ... and less messy than the knox gel!

[@jeanettegibbs9148]

Excellent ,I love it,thank you!!

[@naysworld]

Jeanette Gibbs I appreciate you watching Jeanette!

[@Take5Geri]

Enjoyed watching your process using the plexiglass and Speedball paper. Could you tell me where you purchased the paper ? Really nice print! Thanks for sharing.

[@Take5Geri]

Appreciate your help thanks so much! :)

[@LonitaFraser]

I would be leery of using the soap myself, just being worried about how it would affect the archivalness of the paper, but I'm going to try the same thing with Golden Open Acrylic paints (which have a much longer drying time than other acrylics). This is a very nifty idea. I've been looking for a simpler way to posterise photographs for art purposes. :)

[@evelynabston7137]

it looks really great can't wait to try this technique. did you use the paint full strength or did you add some water. What colors did you use?

[@MsRobineggs]

Awesome and looks easy!!!

[@margeryciambra7344]

Excellent technique- thanks for this video however I have a question regarding the ink jet transfer -I’m hoping you will answer me. Did you print out on the dollar tree thin vinyl your adorable picture , in black ink ( I have one black cartridge & one color cartridge) is it a must to print only with black cartridges or can I print out with what I have?

[@naysworld]

@margery Ciambra Thank you, i printed with an ink jet printer in color. I don't think it matters, black vs color, just as long as the contrast is good. Have fun!!

[@karindw6384]

Just found this video. Are you using watercolour paints right from the tube - ie adding almost no water? Thx.

[@naysworld]

Yes, it's watercolor. Thanks for watching!! Happy new year

[@bpmac123]

Wow, nice one! Why didn't I think of that??

[@wisecracker1294]

(To add to my comment below) At the printing stage, I wonder if you couldn't put a blank sheet of paper over the back of the print to protect it and then rub it with a spoon.

[@janetsmith9380]

great video and tips. thank you for doing that!

[@naysworld]

Janet smith thank you, i appreciate your visit!

[@kimroman4059]

I wonder of glycerine instead of dish soap would work?

[@wandasnow2348]

good job... I love it

[@duanduban4978]

[@naysworld]

Mary Bradford thanks Mary. The only other paper was regular copy paper, cant use too much water with that.
