How to create a Background using Faber Castell Gelatos in your Adult Colouring

[@rachelhughes7277]

Oh wow, love your channel, This video is fantastic for me, I have paint pens, and they are like gelatos, but I've never really understood how to use them. I have been binge watching your tutorials, and you're an inspiration to me, I have multiple illnesses including arthritis and fibromyalgia, copd, degenerative spinal disease and many more, now I just sit and colour which is what I love doing, I struggle with pencils but you've opened my eyes to other forms of markers in another haul video you did, so thankyou for taking time out of your day to show your beautiful pages and tutorials ❤

Welcome Rachel ❣️ I am so pleased that you have found some use for your supplies. Health difficulties are something I can relate to but being creative is an awesome outlet. I hope you have a colourful weekend, gentle hugs from 🇨🇦👋🏻

@@jicolourist Hello Jody where did you get your stencils? I am having a hard time finding some, Thank you

[@jicolourist]

@@JacquesChomiak Hi most were from Amazon, the planet one came in a set of clouds. If you search for stencil variety package on your countries Amazon you should find some there.

[@JacquesChomiak]

[@saki_lao]

Really good ideas in using Gelatos. Thank you for sharing this and reminding me that I have some stencils and brushes hidden in my supplies. I will experiment with the techniques you've shown. 🥰

[@jicolourist]

Glad it was helpful, have fun with your supplies 👍🏻

[@elliemcgeeart]

Nicely done! I love seeing how others use their mediums. The cat pic is adorable!

[@jicolourist]

Thank you Pixie

[@monikayellow]

Thank you for sharing! Love them all , definitely trying the tape on the stencil hack.

[@jicolourist]

Thanks you, washi tape works well if you don’t have painters style tape.

[@jackidoser4345]

Very nice. Thanks so much for explaining gelatos. I’ve never tried them. This was very informative.

[@jicolourist]

Thank you, happy to share info 🖍️❣️

[@sandy77414]

great ideas! Thank you.

[@jicolourist]

Glad you like them, thank you for watching 🫶🏻

[@melissa61272]

Very nice. It does look like a slow process. I do like how it turns out for the backgrounds. Thanks for the video.😊

[@jicolourist]

Thanks Melissa, once you get going it is quite fast…. Compared to painting or coloured pencils anyway 😅

[@Wilcoxmomma1103]

Loved your video! Thank you ❤ I’m super excited about the post it trick too! Clever idea❤

[@jicolourist]

Thank you, it is an easy item to grab and use so you will see me doing it often. Thanks for watching and commenting 🫶🏻

[@cindyhostetler1332]

Thank you Jody, I'm really enjoying your series on backgrounds. I need to practice these ideas in my books. I have started collecting gelatos but haven't used them yet!😜

[@jicolourist]

That is great Cindy, I look forward to seeing some of your completed backgrounds on Instagram!

[@cindyhostetler1332]

I have to get on instagram! I haven't done that yet🤪

[@amandacolours]

I need to try the makeup brushes. I’ve been using finger sponges, but I haven’t been able to get it as smooth as this. Aqua Dolce is my fave gelato colour! ❤

[@jicolourist]

I started out using my finger for smoothing, but since I began using the brushes I love that method. So much easier to apply and the blending is smoother.

[@Disneyandcoloringwithjamie]

Amazing Video

[@jicolourist]

Thank you, I hope this series sparks some ideas 😊

[@RachaelT16]

Hi Jodie, new to your videos. Thank you so much for your video on how to use the gelatos . Do you happened to have a link to the Tim Holtz media mat? Having trouble finding a non glass one like yours pictured

[@jicolourist]

Hi, and welcome to the group. The tim holtz mat is temper glass. The sheet is a plastic cling on sheet used on top of the glass. If you look on Amazon or craft stores that carry Tim. Here is a USA amazon link (not affiliate) www.amazon.com/Holtz-Replacement-Palette-Glass-Cutting/dp/B07BB3JLV5/ref=sr_1_5?crid=D4QLL756EEXI&keywords=tim+holtz+media+grip+mat&qid=1701441168&sprefix=Tim+holtz+media%2Caps%2C239&sr=8-5

[@RachaelT16]

@@jicolourist Thank you so much, I have much to learn!

[@cindyvisser4088]

Hi Jody great video 😊 thank you for sharing was very interesting. I have not tried gelatos. Would there be a set you recommend to start with?

[@jicolourist]

Hi Cindy, I would recommend buying a multi pack I have found the pastels most useful for backgrounds. So if you were buying them for backgrounds may want to start there

[@cindyvisser4088]

Ok thanks Jody😊

[@kaleidoscopiccolours]

Great video Jody! You inspired me to use the set of metallic Gelatos I have on a page that I've been working on. I'm interested in purchasing the pastel set of Gelatos but I'm having trouble finding them for sale at a reasonable price in the UK.

[@jicolourist]

Thats Awesome Laura, I will watch out for your picture on Instagram 👏🏻. Faber Castell is from the UK so I would hope that things go on sale periodically, and you can find them at a good price 🤞🏻

[@kaleidoscopiccolours]

I hope so, although I believe that Faber-Castell is a German company. I know that Derwent is UK based, but I'm pretty sure that Faber-Castell isn't.

[@thecoloringoasis5616]

I was wondering, how do you clean the dry brushes that you used in the beginning? To get the color off.

[@jicolourist]

Hi when I am all done I wash my brushes with a brush soap and water and let dry. You can also just rub your brush off on a dry cloth or paper towel until nothing rubs off. I do this method when I am still planning on using the brushes that day.

[@beverleyquirke5614]

How do you treat the paper?

[@jicolourist]

Hi, when using gelatos dry rubbed on with a brush you do not need to pre treat the paper. If you plan on using wet mediums I usually will use Daniel Smith transparent watercolor ground.
