Wow! Just ... wow!

[@micahgoguen6457]

thank you

[@noreenhennessy9299]

What an unique technique. This is the first time I’ve seen a gel press displayed this way.

[@micahgoguen6457]

Thank you. I love experimenting to see what I can come up with. Looking forward to seeing your work.

[@FrancienDanielsWebb]

For me too. At 11.25 pm here in Australia I was definitely looking at going to bed but when you placed the gel plate over your photo it was like putting a puppy or kitten on the screen. Sat down and now I am close to going to bed to lay awake listening to an excellent book. What a perfect lifestyle.

Thank you. I learned this technique in college using Plexiglass. I like the way the gel plate receives it

I’m excited to experiment with your technique of making landscapes. This is the best instruction I have seen on printing landscapes. I love how you set up the papers for printing. Thank you, Micah!

[@micahgoguen6457]

I appreciate that feedback. Be sure to catch series 2 and 3 as we continue with landscapes each month. I would love to see what you end up printing!

Fabulous technique! I'm gonna try it! I don't have open paints, but I do have a bottle of retarder. Thanks so much for sharing... I've already got some ideas...

Thank you. I can't wait to see what you come up with!

[@vonaldautterback8831]

Fabulous! Can't wait to give it a try! And you did this without a complicated "registration board". :-) Have you tried this with a larger plate size? [I do wish Golden's "Open" line wasn't so expensive!]

[@micahgoguen6457]

Hi, Yes. I love working with the 12 x 12 plate and printing on Ampersand Claybord. Have you considered buying the OPEN gel? You can add it to any of your favorite acrylics to turn them into slow drying acrylics.

[@vonaldautterback8831]

@@micahgoguen6457 I'm so happy you replied. I lost track of this video and wasn't sure where to find it again. :-) I know there are extender mediums, or is this something special made by Golden?

[@micahgoguen6457]

@@vonaldautterback8831 either you can buy a retarder which is made by many brands or specifially buy the GOLDEN OPEN gel. I recommend the OPEN gel.

[@63artemisia63]

I’d like to share this with a Facebook gel printing group I know would love it. But can’t figure out how. Help?

[@jaydee5022]

Under the video there’s a curvy arrow that allows you to share. The 1sr window has a few options including ‘copy’ and then you can just paste into your FB group or if you click on ‘more’ the FB icon come up in a list of options. You may have to scroll until it appears.

[@63artemisia63]

Jay Dee Thanks! I did click on Share but then went to Facebook without stopping at Copy.

[@GelPress]

Hi there Lynn! The easiest way to share to a group is to click the curved arrow and click “copy link” and then paste that link in your group. If you hit FB, it will automatically think you are trying to post it to your personal newsfeed. I hope this helps!

[@micahgoguen6457]

Thank you for sharing

[@adelegiomo8614]

Bello

[@JanineAnita]

How doyou stop the paint from drying out too much before you print?

[@micahgoguen6457]

I use GOLDEN OPEN which are slow drying acrylics. With standard acrylics, the higher the viscosity, the faster they dry. You can buy a retarder or gel like GOLDEN OPEN gel which can be mixed with any of your acrylic paints.
