I've recently gotten into mixed media type stuff. Specifically I took a beginner creative lettering class. To make home decor type signs, canvas, wood, etc...
I've purchased Zig markers, gel pens, and my new favorite thing Faber-Castel Gelato marker? thingys. Not sure what they would be described as.
I've been watching Youtube video's.
Wondering if anyone has any favorite video's, blogs, instagrams, books, advice, suggestions, other similar type Gelato markers, that you recommend?
Thank you in advance.

I have seen some of the FC tutorials. Mostly just played with mine, but not enough to be really helpful to you. I do know that they blend best with a smooth less than porous background. You can cover cs or pp with clear gesso, then let that dry before colouring with the gelattos. The technique I love most is to then colour a background with gelattos, and blend with a sponge or your finger: then cover with a stencil and wipe with a baby wipe. The gelattos will disappear in the places the baby wipe contacts them. Think I might try that for DawnMcD's March challenge! |

Joanns had 4 packs of gelatos for 1.97 or was it 1.47 and even let me use a coupon on them. I got 5 different packs last week. They are clearances but rung up at the clearance price but marked as "regular" so coupon works.

Aren't Gelatos great? I just discovered them too, and bought a whole bunch on ebay and the Faber Castell site. I've found some great ideas and techniques by searching Pinterest. DawnMcD , thanks for the link to the class! I'm going to check that out this weekend. |
