[@jennifermackinnon7870]

Watched the live and watching again while I make some paint papers! I REALLY appreciate both of you taking so much time going through the basics and answering questions. I continue to learn so much from your channel!😘

Truly our pleasure and thank you for hanging with us. It all means so much.

Great lesson in colors. It really does help with mixing colors.

Catching the replay grand kids showed up this morning so had to put ya on hold thanks for so much great info I saved it for further reference

Wonderful, good times with the kiddos is always number one! Thank you Kim and thank you for watching when you do.

This was an amazing video. Watched on replay. Thank you :)

Finally getting to watch this after several days of no internet! Need some tips and tricks for the Gelli plate even though I am not new to it! No one better than P to teach us!

[@PMartistStudio]

AWE that is so sweet and thank you so much!

[@MommyGuideInc]

Thank you so much Patricia and Mariah! I will definitely buy the ebook for this episode. I learned so much most specially I gained a better understanding of the Color Wheel! Watched this 3 times over! yes on repeat the whole day!

[@PMartistStudio]

Yay, wow thank you! The book is almost done 💖

[@patriciarcarmichael1219]

That's what we love to hear! Thank you for watching and making this lovely comment:)

[@Shannon_Bryan]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this stream! I learned so much! A lot of this I had heard before from watching you and Ceri for several months, but having it all laid out in one place is wonderful! I learned a lot about the color wheel, which I thought I knew, but when it comes to mixing and coordinating colors, there is so much more that I had never heard before. I am looking forward to the e-book!

[@PMartistStudio]

Ohhh Shannon that makes us so happy, thank you for watching and I am just so touched.

[@patriciarcarmichael1219]

Thank you for sharing that! The book is in the making!

[@susananderson8428]

Checking out the replay. So many questions!! I learned a lot about color in my quilting class when choosing and combining fabric solids and prints but this about mixing and making colors is amazing. I have watched it before (the older videos) but I don't do it enough to remember!! I will save this one, for sure, and I am looking forward to the book. ❤❤❤

[@PMartistStudio]

You are so welcome and thank you so much Susan.

[@patriciarcarmichael1219]

Thank you Susan! I time stamped it last night, made some notes in the margins so it should be available soon.

[@4GraceCreations]

Replay-thanks for doing a video for beginners! I would say i am kinda a beginner! So i am watching this closely😂

[@PMartistStudio]

Our pleasure, these are good things to come back to even if you have been doing it for a long time. We always enjoy revisiting the basics.

[@patriciarcarmichael1219]

Not to worry...an e-book in in the works, time stamped for reference.

[@welchyv]

Great information. I learned a lot! Thanks!

[@daniellahartensveld]

Thank you so much for this free Masterclass. I am a bit afraid of my gell plate 😅. It looks at me often and I sort of ignore it. Your video was so informative, I had to pause in the middle. Soaking up all of the information. Wonderful! ❤ These two months I am far too busy in our little nursery to do anything else than plants and little bulbs. But I watch a lot of videos during my work and cannot wait to get started again being creative. I miss it. Thanks again P&M ❤!

[@PMartistStudio]

You are so welcome! truly our pleasure 💖

[@patriciarcarmichael1219]

Thank you so much for saying this! So much is given to us that this is a way to give back. Plus, it was a lot of fun! I enjoy getting into my 'teacher-mode':) There is an e-book coming up that goes along with the video...stay tuned, more to come!

[@MommyGuideInc]

ooh this livestream is for crafters like me - beginners:)

[@PMartistStudio]

Hey LaLa, yes and a great refresher to come back to. We try to do one of these types of streams every so often.

[@patriciarcarmichael1219]

Excellent! Thank you for the feedback!

@@PMartistStudio thank you so much I absolutely needed this. I am so happy you have a ton of videos I can binge watch while I work:)

[@DeniseTriffett]

Morning Patricia. And Mariah. I just put you guys on so Im a bit behind. Monday morning here. 👋👋👋👋

[@DeniseTriffett]

You shouldve said that you need a big drying space to dry them aswell. My kitchen gets totally covered with prints lol

[@PMartistStudio]

Hello Denise, Yes drying space is a good one... P has it in her notes but we didn't talk about.

[@pennymeyer3416]

That's what I've been missing, P's explanation of the color wheel! Genius! Or I needed a much more simple explanation, the kind P used when teaching children, lol. I've had a series of mini strokes, too, & have noticed my memory is crap now. Or maybe it's just getting older. Or it just could be a complete intimidation of that damn messy, complicated gel plate. Oh, but I love the prints so. That ebook is going to come in handy for sure. Thank You for doing that, M!

[@PMartistStudio]

Ohh Penny no worries, there are so many things we still are yet to learn... this is why we love this so much and being able to share and learn from all of arty friends! Big Hugs the ebook is in process!

[@patriciarcarmichael1219]

Thank you for watching and commenting! Feedback is a big motivator for me and this is a good one!

[@Jeannette.akaJnett]

Great stream, lots of info. I'm sort of an intermediary printer. Not a total beginner, haven't done tons though it spans over years. Do some, stop, do some more. I'd say I have not even hit that 500 mark yet that you speak of often. Still tons to learn for sure. I'm positive this helped many.

[@patriciarcarmichael1219]

Thank you for that! Appreciate the feedback.

[@christyhartman]

Impressive stream. Thank you.

[@PMartistStudio]

Thank you!

[@Nanakinsz]

Another Stream of consciousness commenting hours after the fact: 1. Paper and Plate Storage: after more than a few oiled papers during storage ... I switched to wax paper over a newly conditioned plate that is being put into a container. I think, heavy emphasis on THINK, it helps to keep it in better shape. 2. Paper Prices in the database under design: Maybe. But if it stays, there will be a date associated with the price. I think a price per sq inch comparision is a valuable resource as you decide which paper to try. It will really show off what's pricey, and how bulk prices work in your favor. 3. I love mixing colors. I'd have been one of those wide-eyed little kids mixing stuff and swatching it the rest of the day, too!! 4: eBook - brills! Does it come with a TIME MACHINE? Years-Ago-Me would like it! 5. Miss Mariah - For your eBook, consider taking the audio from the stream and feeding into one of the transcription services. It'll take LESS editing than the KZbin transcription will take. And let ChatGPT do that editing for you before you even look at it the first time. 6. What a DELIGHTFUL and fun refresher course this was, thank you ever so much, lovely ladies! ❤

[@PMartistStudio]

Deb you scare with how much our brains think alike... I had the same thought on the #5. Came it a little differently but P was not liking how it was going.

[@patriciarcarmichael1219]

I will have to try the wax paper!!!!!!! Agree with the price component!

Q: I have issue with bubbles or air pockets somehow building up underneath and eventually creating a permanent indentation onto my gel plate. How to prevent this?

[@PMartistStudio]

We talk more about that at the end but storing your plates with paper instead of the acetate they come with will keep them from getting bubbles.

[@MommyGuideInc]

@@PMartistStudio thanks P I made this comment earlier in the video and you did show it - thanks! I now have paper on them and removed those plastics. Thanks so much!

[@QueenpreneurRachel]

Great video. Can you share who makes the wood barren?

[@PMartistStudio]

Hey Rachel, Yes of course that is our friend Anthony of Cody Woodcrafts on Etsy. Here is his link www.etsy.com/shop/CodyWoodcrafts. He will make custom designs and sizes if you reach out to him.

[@robinhorasanian9667]

Blick's own brand of acrylic paint is comparable to Liquitex Basic. They are a nice starter paint, too. They are a little cheaper than Liquitex, too.

[@PMartistStudio]

Thanks for the tip! We haven't tried them so that is great information.

[@MommyGuideInc]

Q: What is mineral oil? where can we buy this? Can Baby Oil be used?

[@PMartistStudio]

Yes it will work just fine, we aren't crazy about the smell and so we go with the plain mineral oil.

[@patriciarcarmichael1219]

Food grade mineral oil can be purchased at any pharmacy; you can use baby oil.

[@MommyGuideInc]

@@patriciarcarmichael1219 thanks so much. headed off to the pharmacy today:)

[@4GraceCreations]

Baby oil works as good as mineral oil?

[@PMartistStudio]

Yes indeed, we just aren't fans of the smell.

[@4GraceCreations]

@@PMartistStudio we have a brand new grandbaby in the house so the smell is yummy right now🤣. My 9yr old granddaughter and i cleaned the 2 brayers and the 2 plates last night, then mixed a few colors. She learned blues dry FAST(we are in high desert so the air is hot and dry this time of year=faster dry time)

It does; use what you have I say.
