Good afternoon. I have watched this video twice. It is amazing. Your artwork is excellent. I love your instructions and techniques.

[@kellyweston2136]

I am going to try this. I have used gelatos right from the stick and it is smeared and uneven. Your trick seems to alleviate that. Thank you.

[@ellym279]

I am so glad that I watched this again. Now I can use my gelatoes. Thank you.💖

Hi Karen😊 1st of all I want to tell you how gorgeous, beautiful, & stunning your work is. The hair you do looks real (3D). I admire your work so much! I am so happy I ran across this video as I had no idea you could do this with the gelatos. I'm just starting experimenting with backgrounds & this is a perfect way to use these VS with water. Thank you so much for sharing your work with us & doing these tutorials. ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!

Hi Karen, ❤️🥰. How exciting, I just sat down with my coffee lol.

[@PamelasPassionforPencils]

Hi Karen! Looking forward to watching! I love my Gelatos.

[@bonniegeorge9700]

Thank you! This is a great video for using Gelatos and adding pencils for effect! Now I feel more confident tackling Gelatos.

[@terrieblazek1834]

Best video I have seen in using the Gelatos for background. You coloring is so elegant it elevates the drawing to a new level.

[@showorchid72]

Beautifully done Karen👌🏼!I really have no creativity when it comes to backgrounds especially for portrait pictures which is something I hope to get better at. This has definitely given me some me inspiration.I love the colours you used here. Thanks for sharing! 🙏🏼😊

[@deb.e.mixedmedia]

Ohhh cool! This is beautiful! I am going to use this technique. Thanks for sharing! 🤗

[@martamccool2740]

GelTos are wonderful for blending, marvelous

[@edeez1975]

Very good ..thanks for sharing

[@hermajestyqueenmarciamarti1151]

excellent advice and beautiful background now I know how to use the gelatos I will use them a lot more and I can see how easy it is with the right tool I was using water and having a hard time getting enough color on there thank you so much

[@lindaruschmeyer5298]

OMG!! You are so talented. Thanks for sharing your gifts.

[@mandypoole6828]

Hi Karen. Had my granddaughter for a few days. Have'nt had time to do anything. I need these gelatos in my life. I love the Aqua colour. Not sure which set, although i think i will buy some each month. I saw the ladies comment, on your teaching skills. She was spot on. You are amazing. Lots of love sweetheart.xxx🙋❤💗❤

[@shellycastille4991]

Wow! Gorgeous! I had a couple of gelatos laying in a drawer that came in a package set I picked up at Tuesday Morning (discount store) for the stencils in it. They rolled around in that drawer forever because I didn't know what to do with them. Not anymore! I had a hard time finding the translucent set, but scored a set on Etsy on sale! Now I have 2 more sets sitting in my Amazon cart. Thank you so much for your videos! I am completely hooked. 🤩

[@gisaac46]

I just received my gelatos today and your genius is inspiring.

[@sandrapawula4075]

Thanks! Great demonstration. And your coloring is beautiful!

[@amberlesilencia3728]

I just started to watch and I can already tell, that this is super amazing! I'm instantly inspired to use those Gelato's too. I do have some, but only some shiny ones, but I think those soft pastel ones or let's say "normal" colors I think I would really enjoy! But I think this brush is really cool. I need to look for this kind of brush! Thank you for sharing! It is super super fun!
