This is one of the best explanations of how to get the effects you want using transparent or opaque.

Thank you for being so clear about which colors are opaque, translucent, etc. in each example. Very helpful!

[@susiemoore-ratliff5]

Thank you so much!!! I have been watching videos about gel printing for weeks... I have spent HOURS... and this is the first time anyone has explained opacity vs transparency such that it makes TOTAL sense. Many, many thanks!!!

[@juliesteed3441]

Wow. I honestly never really paid much attention to the opacity of the paints I was printing with. Learned a lot from your video. Thank you!

[@marshavalk]

Thanks so much Julie! I'm glad you found it helpful!

[@cindycreateforlife]

So inspiring, I just love them all but the black paper makes such interesting prints! I just can’t get over how many things you can do on a gelli plate, I am new to this tool and I love it! Thanks for an awesome video!💕🇨🇦

[@kateives1274]

Thanks so much for this video! I found it extremely helpful to see examples of the different ways to use transparent/opaque paints together. It also explained why my prints may not have turned out the way I thought they would! 🤓

[@geraldine1997]

Fantastic tutorial, really enjoyed the video.

[@anjanowackadeklopp761]

I just find you, and this video is fantastic! I need to save it to watch it again, so useful! I’m a beginner to gel prints and this helps so much. Thank you.

Prachtig Marsha, dank je!

[@Eydalia]

Thank you so much for this very helpful video 🙏

[@elbaesteban9699]

Amazing

[@Pila426]

Great video, as per usual. I really like the way Marsha used the differing opacities of the paints and simple masks to create abstract landscapes.

[@marshavalk]

Thanks so much Pila!

[@dyeitb1ack]

Really great video, thank you so much for this clear info on paints and viscosity! 👏

[@marshavalk]

Glad to hear it was helpful for you!

[@claudiaalexander7501]

Very informative video 👍

[@allthumbs3792]

Great ideas and prints. Love your masks shapes! You make it look so easy. TFS!

[@marshavalk]

Thanks! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it!

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

Thank you for the inspiration. =)

[@mvswaaij]

That was the right information for me ! My prints would be much better if i used the transparency and opacity of the paint, but als the possibility of repositioning the masks or stencils gives huge possibillities. Thanks for this great video.

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much that’s really really helpful and useful and the prints are really really stunning. Stay safe and well too xxx Mags

[@iamdawt]

Thank you for this, it's super helpful!

[@marshavalk]

I'm glad to hear that!

[@reppeplucw]

Thank y9u Marsha for this. Lovely prints. I really appreciated the info about transparent and opaque paints. I wish someone would have mentioned it before.

[@marshavalk]

Thanks Wanda!

[@kreativbienchen7828]

wow toll

[@MoniqueAO888]

Great !!! Voice-over would be more easy, because you can't watch and read at the same time. Greetings from Germany :-)

[@marshavalk]

Thanks Monique!

[@suefalls1600]

Wow❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

[@bfinchfrank]

Love your process! I’m curious what you used to tack your masks to your paper?

[@tinelepoutre]

heel interessant dan U

[@travellife08]

Great information. I've been trying to figure out which paint brands offer the widest selections in viscosity and transparency. I bought acrylic high viscosity paint recently from Michael's, Artists Loft, since they had a couple of transparent colors that I wanted. Unfortunately I'm finding it to be very difficult to work with no matter if I water it down a bit or add matte medium. It just doesn't roll out on the plate very well. I might be spoiled since I previously purchased Golden brand Phthalo Blue which is very easy to work with but expensive. I'm also finding the inexpensive craft paints at Michael's such as FolkArt to be surprisingly easy to work with on gel plates.

[@evelinehondius1258]

Great video, came for the opacity part because I want to partially cover an old drawing, just really wondering what brand that adhesive is and where you get it... (Hihi... Recept voor raapstelen 🤭🤭🤣)

[@rickkiegel896]

Love this. What was the "tape" you used to adhere the masks? Thx.

[@marshavalk]

Hi Rick, In the video I use a repositionable adhesive dot roller. However, any temporary adhesive will do. Even a folded loop of washi tape!

[@hurricanekitty6736]

You pull a print @5:57 that appears to have a large pair of slightly opened lips just below & to the right of the top circle mask & just above yet parallel to the bottom mask. This is the 2nd time today I watched a video & could CLEARLY make out an image that was so organic on production that those who produced them had no idea lol I hope other ppl can see what I see otherwise I may legit be losing my mind lol

[@judithmakes4850]

Beautiful. What is your favorite paints to work with. Do you think dylusions will work?

[@marshavalk]

Thanks Judith! I don’t have a favourite brand, however I do like student or professional grade paints. If by Dylusions you mean the paint then: yes! If you mean the sprays then the answer is yes, but with a twist. There’s a video by Birgit on this channel about using sprays. Let me see if I can find it.

[@marshavalk]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/kImam4Cjnb16fbM Here is the link to the video on using spray inks!

[@judithmakes4850]

marsha valk thanks, will look at the video ❣️💞

[@63artemisia63]

So, judging by the “opaque” colors you use here, there are no completely opaque paint colors, although Titan Green Pale and Teal (both Golden) may be as close as you can get. And by the “squares” on the paint tubes, do you mean the rectangles? One tube had a square and a rectangle, so … ?

[@vickierusard7512]

First

[@essjayem6498]

Totally nails the conundrum...why some of the consequences of a pull bring joy and sorrow.! Read the label. Learn about the tube of paint first!

[@robertclemons7772]

Great video!
