Posca Pens on the Gel Plate-Tutorial Tidbits

[@SandraCunningham-c1d]

Love the colors and the way you used them. Anyone could get a great print! Thanks for the ideas!

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

@@SandraCunningham-c1d thanks Sandra!

[@elaineruiz1446]

This is cool. The whole time was worried that the paint you were laying down in so many layers was going to dry out before you printed it. Beautiful result. Kinda reminds me of SpongeBob Squarepants background,

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

It really does!! LOL thanks Elaine

[@makeastatement1]

Your channel is opening up whole new vistas of creativity. Thank you for sharing your talents with us!

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

I’m so glad!

[@susane945]

That was like magic! I didn't believe you could do it!! I think I like the stripes best. 😊🌸🌷

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

The stripes are fun! Thanks Susan

[@FiddleKate]

Well that was very cool! I was so sure that the Posca paint would be totally dry and just stick to your gel plate. But it didn't! It worked perfectly! Thank you so much for this tip!!!

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

any paint that dries on the gel plate will release with another layer of paint. that's the beauty of the Gel Plate!

[@ritaharker4466]

Can’t stop watching what you do it’s all so cool! x

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Thank you very much Rita, I appreciate that :-)

[@janicem4382]

This is great, love the feel of it. I need to buy Posca paints, they are beautiful. Of course that is what you do with all these mediums, make them beautiful.

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Thank you so much! I appreciate you Janice

[@wendl15]

That came out beautiful. I just got my Poscas but didn’t know I could draw on the plate with them.

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

I’ve got another video for Poscas on the plate too!

[@sybilmartinez3095]

So cool how that turned out!

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Thanks!!

Mikki Steyn thank you so much Mikki! I appreciate that

[@Bigheartrolling]

Oh I love this!!! Thank you!

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

My pleasure, thanks for watching

[@debbiedarby150]

WOW! I'm so glad I came across your channel! I haven't been very successful creating gel plate prints and I would have never thought to use my posca pens! I love your print- it's just gorgeously delicious!

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

thanks so much Debbie, I'm glad you are here too. I try to use all kinds of different and new approaches!

[@KiwiJane1]

Every time you make gel prints, I can’t help but imagine you later tearing them into tiny pieces and creating your gorgeous paper-painting art! I lived in Hawaii so anything with a Hawaiian vibe is special to me.

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Debs Pouliot oh hello to you in Hawaii! I do tear them up and they make perfect paper brush marks! :) I’m glad you like it.

[@KiwiJane1]

Elizabeth St. Hilaire, aloha! I used to live there (‘14-17 via USAF assignment). Our daughter still lives there. I do miss it.

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

@@KiwiJane1 I think I would too! I have visited, it's lovely

[@TheMotocross64]

I have been there also, A slice of Heaven, loved it☀️

[@conniehubbell7383]

WHAT FUN! AND EASY TOO! I CAN DO THIS. THANKS

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

You can do it!

[@MargitdeWit]

Very nice. Will experiment with the posca pens as well. Maybevi would have started with the flowers, so you would see them better. But it is a choice and everything is good.

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

@@MargitdeWit thanks for watching!

[@euvid1]

gorgeous. WIll be getting your stamps. Thanks

Thank you so much Elizabeth, I really really love ❤️ this.....I’ve never thought 💭 of using posca paint pens on my Gelli plate....Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

It’s fun to experiment Mags! Thank you so much, you too!

[@ArteconLucia]

Bellissimo grazie ❤

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Prego! Piacere mio

[@Olhamo]

Hi Elizabeth, been watching a couple of your videos after someone mentioned your work, on the art2life workshop, with Nicholas Wilton. I have to get a plate going, start playing with this - have been wanting to make one for a long time! stay well. these are challenging times.

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Hello Olhamo and thank you for being here. I’m always thrilled to know that my name comes up in other art workshops or online groups! The Gel Plate is a fabulous tool for just playing with color and escaping our reality for just a little while. I hope you will enjoy it!

[@craftysassylatina1027]

Bravo!

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

THANKS

[@kathleenrothman]

Love it .. The stamp is no longer available 😒 sadly... I will keep looking for another 🙏☮️🌈

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

The stamp is most definitely still available, it’s just that rubber Moon has gone to a wholesale format. So you have to sign up for their two dollar per month Patreon in order to order stamps from them. But get on my mailing list, as I will soon be offering access to their stamps if you are a member of my Patreon.

[@kathleenrothman]

@@ElizabethStHilaire ok ! CooL .. Good to know ☺️ thanks 🙏☮️🌈

[@kathleenrothman]

@@ElizabethStHilaire just put an order in @ joggles & amazon 🥰 so excited . thanks for responding 😊🌻🌺

@@kathleenrothman my pleasure! Thanks for the support

[@staceybobbitt8773]

Great print and process Elizabeth! Can I ask you where that Supporting Art is Sexy t- shirt came from? It is FIRE!!!

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

it IS FIRE!!!! I got it from a street vendor in Puerto Vallarta and the proceeds went to helping artists add mosaic mural artwork to the town square, how cool is THAT????

[@Hedgehogsinthemist123]

Love your gel print. I find I get a bit carried away with my gel printing. As I am mad on colour, I find everything just gets too busy and I start to rush things, but it seems if the paint dries on the gel plate it doesn't matter. Gel printing is fun but there is a skill in making prints look good. Also, my Poscas tend to dry out. Is it because I store them upright instead of laying them down? Love your collage work too.

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Yes you should store all markers flat in a drawer. And the way that you can keep your gel prints from getting too busy is to use analogous color schemes

[@Hedgehogsinthemist123]

@@ElizabethStHilaire thank you

[@lucybanta7311]

very cool, thank you

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

SURE thanks for watching.

[@marusnak1113]

Elizabeth, love everything you tip and teach and create. How do I buy your Rubber Moon stamps? Link ask for a password to continue. Am I missing something?

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Hi and thanks so so much. RubberMoon have gone to wholesale or require you to be a patron. However, you can purchase several of the designs from me on my website: www.paperpaintings.com/shop

[@huhu2250]

how do you remove the posca marker ink that are left? I can't remove with water , soap, wipes or tape. Help

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

it does not effect the way the plate works, it's simply cosmetic. if that bothers you, it comes off with baby oil. :)

[@lindabarnett7653]

Love this! I keep trying this technique and it just doesn't work. Now you say use a heavy layer of acrylic as the final layer. I had thought it was supposed to be a thin layer which dries before you pull it. But you pulled it wet. OK, ma'am~~~I'm gonna try it this way!!! :-)s

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

I’m sure there’s more than one way to do it. But what do you need to do is get the moisture from the last layer to release the paint from the first layer. It’s about the moisture

[@lindabarnett7653]

@@ElizabethStHilaire Good point!~thanks.

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

@@lindabarnett7653 sure!

[@KathyBrooksArt]

Beautiful. Love this. Have you ever used chalk pens on the gel plate?

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

I have not, I don't have any of them... yet!

[@KathyBrooksArt]

@@ElizabethStHilaire Thank you so much. I just tried a pink chalk marker and it didn't want to dry. Could use some other help though please -- I did a black and turquoise drawing on my plate w/Posca markers, let it dry, did a nice pull using Titan Buff... but now I cannot get the black posca ghost marks off of my plate. Tried baby wipes, and warm water and soap. And 4 additional pulls with diff types of acrylic paint. Any ideas? maybe Baby Oil? Thanks

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

@@KathyBrooksArt not sure. I do not worry about the being dirty-it works fine. Mine are all stained and messy!!

[@KathyBrooksArt]

Hello again Elizabeth. Success, I got some baby oil and that took the ghost marks right off. I shall be using Posca pens now in the future! Wanted to let you know.

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

@@KathyBrooksArt thanks! Don’t worry too much about keeping it pristine! It’s meant to be used and enjoyed. I appreciate the info

[@lisagordon6355]

My ocd didn’t do so well with only 3 lavender lines

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Make as many as you like!

[@barbiemathisart]

Oh, I Love that! I've got to try those markers. Thanks for sharing, Elizabeth! Hope you're doing well! :)

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Barbie Mathis I’m good Barbie! Not traveling to teach, but doing the best I can. YES! you’ll love the markers.

[@impish22]

Can you still buy your stamps at rubber moon? I click on the link and it needs a passcode?

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

go to their home page: RubberMoon.com and watch the video that explains their new structure for purchasing stamps ;)

[@whyducks1]

Beautiful, almost Indian looking.

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Thanks!!

[@ecfinan626]

Very Californian! Thanks.

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

SURE! I guess it's rubbing off on me. LOL

[@bethmiller4266]

Living in south Florida makes using fluid acrylics quite difficult. They dry much too quickly. Climate makes all the difference 🤨

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Use more paint and move faster I live in Sacramento where it’s 111° and dry in the summer!!!

[@dawnarobertson9577]

Rubber Moon doesn’t allow shopping without some sort of “secret password.” WTH?

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

It’s not a secret password, they are asking you to join their Patreon page for two dollars a month in order to help supplement the cost of the rubber stamps. So basically they’re only offering them through their Patreon page, sort of like a wholesale club membership.
