🤔 Looks like, I’ll be foraging in the backyard once it cools off a bit 👏🏻💕🙏🏼

[@MixedMediaArtByTrina]

Yes! Do it. 😍

[@swl9270]

Good Lord just out it everywhere😂…sounds like me! I’m having a hard time with the transition between landscapes and botanicals but that’s just me, not on you by any means. I’m just used to you and landscapes…shaking me up, Trina! In the end it comes back to landscapes and I love it!!!

[@MixedMediaArtByTrina]

@@swl9270 haha! I’m going to keep playing with botanicals in the landscape. Still trying to find what works for me. It’s not quite there yet, but I think the square format is going to work best. It feels less ‘landscapey’ than a rectangle. Thanks my friend. 😍

[@joannasundquist8494]

I absolutely ❤ this! Beautiful!

[@MixedMediaArtByTrina]

Thanks so much! 😍

[@Truthfully7]

Another wonderful piece, I also got the industrial feel about it.... Stunning 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐BM

[@MixedMediaArtByTrina]

Thank you! Cheers! 😍

[@katanyajason3316]

A slow-dry medium could be helpful for those hot, dry days or when you want to be working on your piece for a whole before pulling a print.

[@MixedMediaArtByTrina]

That’s a great idea! Thanks for sharing! 😍

[@denisegardner2373]

Oh my gosh, your artwork is gorgeous! TFS

I have been really enjoying your videos. It's fun watching others create stunning art.

[@MixedMediaArtByTrina]

Thank you so much! I love watching others create awesome well! 😍

[@annieparker9754]

I love it! I also really love your honest and frank dialogue as you work! In the middle I was wondering if you would be able to pull it all together…. But you sure did!!!

[@MixedMediaArtByTrina]

Me too girl! It was touch and go for a minute. 🤣 Thanks for watching! 😍

[@karenfinney4511]

I love your work. I did notice you didn’t like the paint seeping under the stencil. Stencil Girl says use a sponge with pouncing motion. If paint seeps under you are using too much paint or not pouncing up and down. I hope you continue to share your work as it is so inspiring.

[@MixedMediaArtByTrina]

@@karenfinney4511 great tip Karen! Definitely will try that. Don’t worry, I will continue making videos. Thanks for watching! 😍

[@dawngrofvert5227]

I like the outcome. It reminds me if an industrial site that is decaying. The walls look like painted cobblestone, there is a an iron gate that is falling apart. The paint is peeling. I love industrial decay.

[@MixedMediaArtByTrina]

Thank you! I love your insight! 😍

This is A lovely piece of work ..I especially really like the top part it sends my imagination flying .. Thankyou 🤩

Been watching some of your videos and I just love everything you do. 😍 Just how creative and brave you are in your art and on top off that I absolutely love your voice. It is mesmerizing to listen to.

Thank you so much! Happy you are enjoying the videos! 😍

Hi. can you use neocolor II crayons on a gel plate?

[@MixedMediaArtByTrina]

I have seen people lay down a layer of acrylic medium and use them wet. I’ve not tried it myself. 😍

[@judyk.657]

Love it💕. Question: when using the stencils, have you tried using sponges instead of dry brush? If so, which do you prefer and why? Thanks 🙏

[@MixedMediaArtByTrina]

Thanks! I have used both. I find the sponges give a smoother result and the brushes when dry give a textured result. Hope that helps! 😍

[@Truthfully7]

Hi Trina, another beauty, am loving these colours, especially that blue grey one . what was the orange colour pls, azur gold ?? Stunning💐💐💐💐🥰🥰🥰 FABULOUS AS USUAL 🥰 BM

[@MixedMediaArtByTrina]

That is the Quinacridone Nickel Azo Gold from Golden. Unfortunately, it’s discontinued at the moment but they are working on a new formula. You might be able to find it online, however, the prices are outrageous. 😍

[@Truthfully7]

@@MixedMediaArtByTrina many thanks 💐

[@allisonjames2923]

You can mix your own version. This is from Golden “Unfortunately, there is no perfect replacement for Quinacridone/Nickel Azo Gold at this time, but a blend of 4 parts Transparent Red Iron Oxide (PR101) and 1 part Nickel Azo Yellow (PY150), as shown here, should get you into a similar range in the masstone with a glowing orange undertone.⁠” And if you look up how to mix Quinacridone Nickel Azo Gold, you’ll find a number of people have created colour mixes from all kinds of reds, browns & yellows to give you a similar colour. This is another example “By blending a Quinacridone Gold Red Shade with Nickel Azo, the new blend called Quinacridone/Nickel Azo Gold achieves the wonderful characteristics of the original Quinacridone Gold, including a warm yellow-gold quality in the undertone as well as a tight tint.” From just paint

Cool piece! I kept seeing a lady out of the tissue paper botanical. Now she’s behind the mirror.

[@MixedMediaArtByTrina]

Thanks! I love your observation! 😍

[@allisonjames2923]

Lol. After using a craft knife to lift up your leaves “you don’t want to use anything super sharp on your gel plate” 🤣😆😂

[@MixedMediaArtByTrina]

Haha! Sometimes I don’t take my own advice! 🤣🤣🤣

[@marlenevidibor8054]

Use a toothpick

[@MixedMediaArtByTrina]

@@marlenevidibor8054 great idea!😍

[@lindseybagust8516]

Just found you, excited. Where can I get medical exam paper. Is it similar to wet strength tissue?

[@MixedMediaArtByTrina]

@@lindseybagust8516 hey Lindsey, it’s a more durable than wet strength tissue and less expensive. I also like how it blends in when wet and coated with matte medium. Here’s a link to purchase it! 😍 amzn.to/3RUdxKi

[@kathleenbolster1887]

Trina , do you know how to get pencil marks on the gelli plate. Do you clean your stencils or not?

[@MixedMediaArtByTrina]

There is a technique where you can use soft graphite marks on paper, apply it to the Gelli plate, then use acrylic medium to transfer the marks. It will leave marks on your Gelli plate but you can remove those with baby oil. I’m bad about cleaning my stencils. Every couple of months I soak them in soapy water for a day and the paint comes off. Hope that helps! 😍

[@kathleenbolster1887]

@@MixedMediaArtByTrina thank you Trina. I forgot about the baby oil. 🙂👍

[@MixedMediaArtByTrina]

@@kathleenbolster1887 you’re welcome. I mostly use water to clean my plate but the baby oil is great for a deep cleaning. 😍

[@hilarynorton-gh7ib]

With traditional monoprinting you soak or dampen paper before printing. Have you ever tried this with gel plate printing?

[@MixedMediaArtByTrina]

Great question. I haven’t tried damp paper. Printmaking ink is thicker and a different viscosity than acrylic paint. It might make the paper receive the paint better or it might make the image softer. Hmm. 🤔

[@a.r.4416]

Hi I'd like to know if med. exam paper is acid free. Trini already explained well it is stronger than tissue paper. Thanks! Love all Trini is experimenting❤

[@MixedMediaArtByTrina]

I don’t think it’s acid free since it’s not made for art. It’s made for doctor’s offices. Hope that helps. 😍

[@swl9270]

Ok I sent a complimentary response and now it seems to have disappeared…idk if you can see it bc I can’t. So weird that happens a lot in your channel with me… I am waiting to order distress inks from your shop to give you a tiny tip. Please add them to your Amazon shop…

[@MixedMediaArtByTrina]

That is weird? The inks are in the gelli print list. 😍 www.amazon.com/shop/lawrenceks_boudoir_studio/list/3D3H86R0TXTBD?ref_=aipsflist_aipsflawrenceks_boudoir_studio
