Black white and gray gel prints | A neutral session

[@patticriss2238]

I’m learning so much. I’m very thankful that you share with us. I’m kind of stuck since quitting quilting. Kind of a muscle memory thing, I think. I’m gonna keep plodding along. I have an end goal!!!!

[@jam4441]

Love these prints. Maybe you could shift the waste paper across to the right to be out of frame therefore allowing you space on the left to have the registered print in frame for us to see as you progress?

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

Great Idea! I'll do that next time. Thanks for watching.

[@donnaterrell938]

I enjoyed this gel printing session, great prints. I love the neutral tones. Black and yellow make green.

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

Thanks for watching.

Just wanted to say, if you put your brayer into a container of water after you roll off, then roll off onto a paper towel to dry off, you never have to worry about residue affecting your next roll.

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

I could probably do that if I wasn't also shooting video. You have no idea of all the things I have to multi-task. I'm amazed that I do it as well as I do. Plus my table is small. I'm in a really small studio. Bigger things to come. One step at a time. Thanks for watching and commenting.

If you want a really dark impression of the mask/host on the plate, ink it up first, before you put it onto the plate. Linda Germain does this to add color to her prints. It's a bit messy, but it works. I use another gel plate but you could just use a piece of freezer or palette paper.

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

Yes that does sound messy. LOL. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@NessaWolfeMuller]

The one you said was too busy… I loved that one 😂

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

Thanks. I will probably love it at some point and use it in a collage.

[@NessaWolfeMuller]

Beautiful prints, thank you

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

You’re welcome 😊

[@staceface4303]

So glad this popped up. I've been wanting black and white ideas for a project. This was perfect! Would love to see how you use these. Thanks for sharing.

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

I'm planning a collage video where I use these. I'll post probably in a couple of weeks. Thanks for watching.

[@Cathy7816-u4v]

Hi Susan. I also love black and white. I recently printed some of my own drawings and paintings to use . I am new to collage but really enjoying it thanks to you. Thank you for sharing your work.

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

Thanks for watching.

[@bilbobwn]

I did a few black and white today too. With more to do tomorrow I’m excited to try these ideas. Thank you so much.😊

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

Fantastic!

[@laurienye7514]

That was very interesting and I love that love knot ring on your right hand.

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

Thanks. It's a puzzle ring. I've had it for many years and couldn't remember how to put it back together. I finally figured it out. LOL

[@catherinelefort]

Hello and thank you for your very inspiring videos… I have a question What papers do you use…?

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

I think I forget to put it in the description. It's this one. ❤️ 120 Sheets Deli Paper Sheets Transparent Paper Translucent Clear Paper Tracing Paper for Drawing, White (9 x 13 Inch) amzn.to/498i17b

[@PaulaMion]

Some of the prettiest greens are made with black and yellow.... Love the video and thank you for sharing!!

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

Seems that way. I guess it depends on which black you use. Thanks for watching.

[@teresarhoad2952]

What deli paper are you using? I've looked in several of your videos for the link but cannot find it .thanks

@@SusanCliftonArtist thank you for such a fast response, I ordered 2 using your link! I'm loving your channel and learning so much , TFS.

[@katiehanrahan5293]

Wouldn’t it make more sense to put the paint you want a very small amount of (like the black) on a separate palette and then you can transfer the right amount to the plate. That way you will get the right mix and you won’t waste any paint!

[@cidk59]

you can also mix the color you want on a palate and use that if you're looking for a specific color.

[@katiehanrahan5293]

@@cidk59 Yes, that as well.

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

I tried that but I have to be sure I'm going to use that color again. In this case, yes, I was only using 2 colors but usually I'm changing colors and changing my mind so that has not been my practice. Trust me, no paint was wasted.

[@deannaperry2507]

Is all deli paper created equal?

[@DawnoftheDay-mb7zt]

No…. I have a thinner version that is great for her rubber bands, and I have done great pine needles with it. In other words, thinner paper for thicker masks or very fine stencils because you can work it into grooves. I have a slightly thicker, more square version that is perfect for everything else. It is less likely to crinkle. Both make amazing prints for collage.

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

Thanks for your reply @DawnoftheDay-mb7zt . The one I'm using is thin. Similar to tissue but stronger. It doesn't tear when I pull. I love it. It's this one from Amazon. amzn.to/498i17b

[@catholictortillas777]

Thank you I wanted to know the paper size and kind also!​@@SusanCliftonArtist
