Thank you so much, this is the best explanation of how to use a colour wheel that I have ever come across, brilliant, and lovely prints as well.

[@marshavalk]

Hi April! I'm glad this is helpful for you!

[@blue.orchid.coaching]

Thanks for the chance to watch a master at work and for sharing such great lessons. I continue to re watch this vid often.

[@lori88ish]

So appreciated, this is by far the best explanation of the colour wheel that I have ever seen.You made it so easy to understand Thank you so much Hugs and Smiles

[@pamaylmer8190]

This is a great demo. In a triad, choose 2 colors. Apply the 3rd layer over the first 2. That is the technique that avoids mud. Printing order makes the difference.

[@allthumbs3792]

Simple, basic and ESSENTIAL! Thank you Marsha!

[@EdieFactory]

Very helpful! Thanks.

[@terismith4333]

Thank you, thank you, thank you Marsha!!! I've never understood colour theory as I never took art in school & have never thought I had an artistic bone in my body. A friend who is an artist gave me a colour wheel but it's been like Greek to me. I recently bought a gel plate & an art journal as I want to just play & not have to judge if what I end up with is "good enough". Now I get it! I'm 65 & now I get it. I know I'll be referring back to your video many times.

[@wandaspencer9523]

I definitely need that color wheel! Thanks for sharing..

[@karengriego4095]

Ditto on 👍🏽 for color wheel explanation! All in

[@UARELOVE1010]

Wow...they look beautiful. The explanation helped which I haven't seen in any videos.

[@Pila426]

Beautiful prints! I just taught a gel printing basics workshop and used the same color wheel. I'm in the process of revising the workshop now and was sorto stuck about how to combine the stencil portion with something else. Was thinking ghost prints, but color theory could work, too.

[@margarethogan7440]

Thank you for this clear demo of how to use the color wheel

[@suzijorgensen6545]

[@serenaleaghgrace5023]

awesome, ta, ess

[@kathywhylie4417]

I love the stencils that you use in the videos and can't find a resource guide for them. Can you list where they came form? Thank you!

[@marshavalk]

Hi Kathy, the stencils are by Art by Marlene for StudioLight.

[@pergadootje]

Thank you sooo much very helpfull. I must go look for a colour wheel

[@ClaraMelchorBowman]

Fantastic! You've explained everything so clearly and easy to understand. Thanks so much for sharing this. Please could you tell me Marsha, what is the best kind of paper for gelli printing? A matt surface or glossy? The weight? Just ordinary copier paper or something else? I really want to get started with gelli printing. I have everything I need but just unsure about paper. Many thanks 😊🌻🧡

[@marshavalk]

Hi Clari! I print on all types of paper. However, my favourite all purpose paper is white medium weight drawing paper. Bristol paper is awesome too, however not as readily available to me locally. For collage I love tissue paper or just plain printer/computer paper. I suggest starting out with what you have at home and see what you like. Even coloured paper can be super fun to print on! Have lots of fun!

[@suefalls1600]

Very helpful❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

[@janerochfort2134]

I was with you the first three....😅🤣😂...then I lost the plot....😅🤣😂 but I have saved it...thank you....

[@SisterBaby]

I got confused also; I think there might have been an editing error or something. If you figure it out, please reply!

[@paulasalmon352]

I had hit pause several times and take my time reading so I could soak it in

[@jvis9143]

Love your tutorial!!! That's a terrific color wheel too, may I please ask which brand it is. Would like to get that particular one. Thank you

[@marshavalk]

Hi Liz, The brand of the one I have is The Color Wheel Company, though I've seen many online with other brand names that look identical.

[@lizkirby8805]

Hi Carmen! In the video I use plain printer/computer paper because I intend to use these prints for collage work. However, my favourite printing paper is a nice medium weight white drawing paper.
