Got the bigger gel plate, your wonderful stencils, and paper pad. Waiting on brayers. I can't wait to get started! You are an exceptional teacher. I really appreciate your ability to include details that those of us who were not formally trained might not know. I'm sopping up your discussions of paint characteristics, color combinations, and layering. I love how you explain something, demonstrate while explaining it, and then do it again. Thank you for your patience and willingness to share your abilities.

Thank you for so generously sharing your experience and talent. I am mostly a painter who needs to restart my right brain..HEHE.

[@tammysmith1433]

Wonderful and so informative! Thank you so much for your generosity. I was scared for your gorgeous scarf the whole time. 😆 When working with stencils, do you ever wash them like at the end of a printing session or do they just air dry and you use them from there with the old paint on them? Thanks again! Blessings to you

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Once acrylic paint dries its permanent, so you cannot wash them at the end. You could wash them as you go, but it just slows you down. I just try to blot off the excess paint and leave it at that. Thanks for your concern for my scarf! :-) I try not to worry about such things. In the end, it was fine!!
