These are beautiful!

I really liked the snowflakes and the woman’s silhouette layered with feathers and “son meux”. I ‘d like the son meux print in a poster size.

[@marshavalk]

Hahaha! Thank you so much!

[@enamary1]

Excellent! Thank you, Marsha.

[@AinoShperber]

Wow! That was an impressive amount of mask play and some really creative pieces!! Well done and thank you. 😮❤

[@miekemiddelhuis3782]

Beautiful prints, you're so good in masking and layering 👍 Bedankt Marsha!

[@netty062]

This is nothing short of amazing!! Thank you for the wonderful inspiration!

[@ahleenlupo7421]

Fabulous examples and techniques thanks so much for inspiring me to do something. I’ve never tried before. I feel like I have to watch your video several times to really get an idea of what I can do. Layering colors and textures. It looks like a lot of fun.

Stunning prints Marsha!

STUNNING THANK YOU

[@susanlaskey7778]

I LOVE how you used that masking fluid! What a great technique❤

[@CCSFhealthed]

I really love these designs and techniques. The most encouraging thing for me was to see that there's an intermediate stage that isn't particularly fantastic, but you keep going with the layers and the ending is spectacular. I think some of my prints need more layers now!

[@marshavalk]

Yes! A good rule of thumb is that a print is only finished once you're happy with the result!

[@deborahneumann9162]

[@rtd1791]

Masking fluid

[@marshavalk]

Yes, it’s masking fluid! Also sometimes called liquid frisket or drawing gum.

[@Country_Creations]

Whats the white liquud in the bottle ? Acrylic paint or ink ?

[@pattipostcard8489]

I looked up masking fluid and it was described as "liquid latex." I have a severe allergy to latex; is there anything else that I can use in place of masking fluid to get the same or a similar effect? Thank you.

[@marshavalk]

Hi! I don’t know, I haven’t researched this, however the first thing that comes to mind is stencil film (which is like contact paper, but low tack). The second thought is that gum arabic might be worth looking into. I don’t know if it will work with acrylic paint, though. Good luck!

[@pattipostcard8489]

Se me pegan los papeles no logro transferir nada se me transfiere a la plancha y ahí se me pega

[@marshavalk]

Hi! I’m very sorry, the automatic translation unfortunately doesn’t make any sense of your question! From what I understand your paper sticks to the plate? If yes, wait until the paper and paint are dry before you pull the paper up.

[@karminakarminae1939]

Deja que la pintura seque antes de levantar el papel , Tambien no le eches mucha pintura a la plancha . Y dale tiempo entre una capa y otra , porque si la de debajo no esta bien seca ni pudes transferir ni puedes levantar el papel sin romperlo . Este tipo de arte requiere mucha paciencia . Si quieres accelerar el proceso de secado de la pintura , coge un ventilador de mesa , montalo cerca de tu plancha y echale aire frio al papel . Nunca pero NUNCA aire caliente ni si quiera calentito , acabaras aruinando tu plancha. Una cosa mas , cuando pones el papel sobre la plancha y la estas alisando , sentiras asi como que el papel esta un poco como frio , esto significa que la pintura es aun humeda y no se puede levantar el papel . Saludos .

[@marshavalk]

Thanks, Karmina!!

[@chloegrl1366]

Chip board letters would probably even work

[@marshavalk]

Yes! You may need to use thinner paper because they can be a bit on the bulky side. Give it a go and see if you like the results. You can also glue them onto a piece of cardboard and use them as a texture tool (to push into the paint) instead!
