Very interesting technique, love the way this piece turned out. That pink background is beautiful, and I love the fairy world feel of this landscape.

[@micahgoguen6457]

Thank you Kimberly. I love using fluorescent colors to help make it feel more dream like.

Excellent lesson! Thank you so much for sharing. I have tried to make gel prints of some of my favorite pieces of art. You have given me some ideas to try again!

[@micahgoguen6457]

Thank you Janay. We want to see what you produce. It is so fun to explore.

[@KathyBrooksArt]

Very unique approach, I just loved this. Thanks

[@allisonjames2923]

Really interesting technique & result. Appreciate the tutorial very much. Might I suggest dropping the music though? It wasn’t necessary since your gaps of no narration are very short & it sounded like a stuck record just playing that short excerpt, which detracted from your tutorial.

[@micahgoguen6457]

OK, I received lots of similar feedback so I’m already correcting it for future videos. I can’t do anything about this one. Thank you for the feedback

[@vonaldautterback8831]

Love this, Micah! Thank you! How do you mount your panels for display when finished? Do you drop them in a floating frame or? And do you use varnish?

[@micahgoguen6457]

Thank you Vonalda. I have been using a point setter and putting them into open back frames. Ampersand also makes some floating frames that are nice. I use GOLDEN UV semi-gloss spray varnish when done.

[@susanmcd1458]

Thank you! I’ve been trying some landscape layers on my gelli plate but I bet I’ll be more successful now. Fascinating process! 👍🏼

[@isabellesaussez]

I love this Micah! When you paint over the print, do you also go from dark to light?

[@micahgoguen6457]

Almost always. The only time I don’t paint dark to light is when I am doing watercolor. Light usually touches the things that are most on the surface, so my paint layers are that way also.

[@ladysparky49]

I bought a picture frame to use for placement it works awesome

[@robinshane4661]

Just…. Wow!

[@joychip5994]

Can you use ordinary acrylics I don’t have any golden and I’m not going to buy any. I have too much other

[@JuJuAndPenny]

You could use extender medium to make other acrylic paints act the same way as Golden Open.

[@joychip5994]

@@JuJuAndPenny thank you Julie

[@micahgoguen6457]

You can use whatever suits your availability and budget. There are retarders by various brands and GOLDEN makes an OPEN gel that can be added to any acrylics. I found for myself, I preferred to buy small tubes of the primary colors. It wasn’t much more than buying the gel, I use them for other painting processes, and clean up and effort are still easier for me than using regular acrylics. Explore the process and see what works best for you.
