Hi, I'm Anna. I'm an artist, creative guide, professional messmaker, and a teacher here on Skillshare.

After years in management and personal development, I found my way back to what always brought me joy: making art. Being chronically ill helped me reconnect with that part of myself and reminded me how healing creativity can be.

I now create layered, intuitive mixed media art and design playful, accessible classes to help others do the same. I believe creativity starts with curiosity, and that the process matters more than the end result. You don't need to be "good". You just need to start.

In my classes, I share tips, tools, and techniques to help you loosen up, experiment, and rediscover your creative flow. You'll often... See full profile

Transcripts

1. Introduction: Do you own a jelly plate? Are you looking for some creative challenges that go beyond the usual techniques from a jelly plate? Or are you looking to break free from those constraints of precision? This class might be right for you. I'm a pen, I'm an artist, I'm a professional messmaker. I'm a teacher and I'm a recovering perfectionist. And jelly plate help me to do so because with a jelly plate you never know what you're going to get. Every print is unique. Yeah, there will be some accidents, but some of them are happy and sometimes you even get a result that's beyond your wildest imagination. I use a jelly plate to make collage paper for my art, but I also like to draw and paint with my jelly plate. In this class, we're going to look at painting on a jelly plate. The first technique we're going to discuss is a single layer technique. With a single layer technique, you paint one layer on the plate and then printed on paper. The second technique will be multiple layers on the plate before you printed on the paper. The last technique is somewhere in between. You're going to paint one layer and print that layer, paint another layer and print it again until you have multiple layers on that paper. This class is for every one jelly plate, not only for the ones that are looking for creative challenges, but also for beginners. We're not going to go over basics of printing jelly plate, but since we're going to go through those three techniques step by step, they're easy to follow even for a beginner if you want to make a mess. If you want to have fun, if you want to learn to let go of perfection on a work swiftly, this adventure is unadmissible for your creative journey. Come on and dive in and let's print together. 2. Class Project: For the project of this class, you're going to use one of the three techniques that's going to be taught during this class. A single layer could be multiple layer on the plate, could be multiple layers on the paper. You can use the images that are provided in the resources in the workbook, but you can also use your own images. And feel free to upload multiple projects because it's fun, it's addictive. You can upload your work when you go to the project section, project, fill in the details and upload. I'd love to see a comment on each other's work, and I will definitely do, because every print will be unique. It doesn't matter what image you'll use if you like this project, if you like this class, I would really appreciate it. If you leave a review, you can do that in the review section. Just press the button, send. If you leave a review, it will not only help me to become a better teacher, but will also help other students find this class and have the same fun results as you did. Of course, you can also share your work on Instagram or social media. But don't forget to tag me because I'm really curious and I really want to see your work. And I'm really proud of what you've done and hope so, are you? 3. Tools & Materials: You're looking at the set up that I prefer to use when I'm painting on a jelly plate. Since the paint dries fairly quickly, we have to work quickly. And then efficient set up is crucial. This is a set up that works for me, maybe it works for you too. Just find the way that suits your way of working. First, over here we have the jelly plate, start the show, and this is where all the magic happens. Underneath the jelly plate, you find an image. This is the image we're going to use in the first lesson, or at least with the first technique. I put it in a protective cover sheet, which I taped down on my desk. We move and the jelly plate won't move. Next it, I have my palette on my pellet. I put down all the paints, I mix them, or I'm going to put them in the order I'm going to use it. You can use the tariff palette that you can use, any pet you have on hand. We're going to paint with this paint on the jay plate. And for that you're going to need some brushes, any kind will do. It's easy if you have a smaller one for the details and a larger one for the larger services. But again, use whatever you have on hand. You can rinse them in some water and then dry them off on a cloth or a paper towel or whatever you have. You don't even have to rinse them if you don't want to get some nice effect. Well, well we'll see. We also have this prayer. This prayer, if you jelly plint print a lot, you know what it is. It helps you distribute the paint on the plate. Since we're painting the brushes, we're not going to use it as much, but we're going to use it for like a background to roll out the paint and roll off the excess paint on this piece of paper here. I'm right handed. So that's why I have it here. We can only paint on the jelly plate paint. I use regular acrylics. You can use soft body or liquid equylics. They tend to dry even faster. I recommend just go for the regular everybody wants. When you get the hang of it, you can always experiment with different kinds of acrylics later on. You don't need the precise colors I have. Just use what you have. These are colors I'm going to use because they fit the images I have. I have a red, I mean it's a pyle, but you can have catmium. Choose your red. I have a light blue. I have a darker blue, light green, a darker green. I have a raw umber and have a yellow upside. Then I have a white. And above titanium, I have them in larger bottles, but any size will do last but not least. I have the paper which we're going to pull the print of the plate and the paper, it can be just regular printer paper. It could be card stock paper. Used the paper you have because I don't want you to buy new stuff if you have most of the things you need lying around at home. In this plate, you have like an overview. It really zoomed out when I'm going to paint, we're going to zoom in. You won't see everything. I'm going to show you the pellets. So you're going to see the paints, of course. I'm going to show you gelic plate, but more up close so you can see it more in detail. Well, it's time to dive in. 4. Single layer : Well, in this first lesson we're going to work with just one layer. And we're going to make this popsicle. And I just printed it out. It's in my resources and I put it in this protection sheet. But when I put my jelly plate on this, it starts to move. And I don't want it to move. I want to lay steals, get better print. One of the things I like to do is put it down and get some tape. It could be any tape. It doesn't need to have to be sensitive tape or anything because it's just taping down the plastic here. Here, I'm going to a piece on the other side. Now, it won't move. It's safe to put my jelly plate on there. You see my jelly plate is a letter size and I print it out a four. It's smaller so I'm just going to position it where I want this to be. It's still a bit dirty and it doesn't need to be dirty if you don't want it to be dirty. But I like the crunchy look gifts. I'll stick with the dirty, but you can easily clean it with baby wipes or water because the paint is going to dry so fast. I'm going to put it out on the pallet. Before I put it on here, I'm going to see the colors I need. It's like red, white, blue, and some pale color. Put down the red mode of course doesn't open. Always I want you larger bottle always gives a larger pull. Doesn't really matter, but I never try anything away, just make extra prints on, it's a white blue. But I also see it's like light blue and dark blue. Because you have the shadows, well, I can mix it up with like, for example, black. Think I'm going to use some dark blue. This is a prum blue. I think I'm going to use that for the background as well. Over here, it's a little d, make it too much. Again, this is darker white. It sounds really weird. Darker white. It's like when you're painting snow, it's not pure white. You have like the hills on top. And so you have shadows. And we have it here too and we have to give it a shadow color, I think because it's just a small difference just to get to use the blue or the brown, the raw umber. I'm not sure yet. I need to The wood color just titanium B. If you just Kelly printing it's easier to have smaller tubes because it comes out easier than the archer ones. But it still works. What I'm going to do let's shift this a little bit so it's work place for you. I have to work quick because it dries really fast on the plate. I usually going to mix those up before it starts. I have the darker and a lighter color, but I do it quite often. I'm not going to dilute it or anything. I just put it on like as it is. Put it on here because it keeps my perfectionism away. And it makes me just work quick and not think about the weird details And gives me a nice tilt because I'm going to show you what it's like. Maybe because you don't have as much experience as I do. I'm going to use mat medium, but you can use any slow, dry medium you want. Because then I don't need to mix it up all before I start. I want to hear I can mix it as I go with the brushes. It doesn't really matter if it's round or flat or somewhere in between. You can use different colors, different brushes if you have to work really fast, but you can also just wing it. That's what I do. If you one brush, then we're going to use some water, water on here. It's a beautiful effect. But what we want to achieve today then, we would have a cloth or something to dry it off on. You start with this white, because usually you're going to do paintings, you do the details less on a jelly plate. We start with the details first. Why the lower layer? The bottom layer. That's what you're going to see on top. Well, it's printed because you're going to do like this on the top. The bottom layer is going to be on top that the shadows on this side. When I flip it, it's going to be on that side. Let's even though the extender makes it well, instead of 2 minutes, you can take like 5 minutes to work on it. You'll have to be fairly quick. So that's really good not to think too much about what you're doing. And I think I'm going to use a bit of the blue, make a different kind of white in here. Here. Yeah. I'm going to dry off the same brush and I'm going to you, one thing is when you have to, you can like free hands. But when you have to P, then if you celebrate, you have like a guide. It's so fun for your perfectionism as well. Because you have a help. I love a little help. Every now and then, everybody does a little darker in between. Darker, yeah. Shadows, winds. All right. Marsh and I want the shadows makes me hungry. What you go, I have to over here. You see I haven't rinched it off that well, so you get like little, small pieces of see through. I don't want it. So quart extra blue on there. It helps well to clean it for the shadow. I think we go to the real We, I have it here for the red as well. A great, well, I want to paint the whole background and if I paint the whole background blue party, it can dry too quick. So what I just do, I'm going to like give it like party. You look. I'm just going to, it takes me a bit more dark because I want to stand out from the bloom with a different color, Little bit more dark. I was already drying a bit, so the thing I'm going to do now is I'm going to get my paper and I'm just going to use some card stock paper. And I'm going to put it on there. You can use the bearing just to press really, you can use a Brayer to press really hard. But I like to use my hand and see it worked out. Every print always gets different. That's why I like about this. Oh wow. Let's see what happens. This is the end result. Yeah, of course, when I would have been painting it, I would have to shade, to shed board bit more here and post up a bit with the blue maybe. But I like the roughness. I like yeah, the weird kind of pain. Does it give? But I still have some paint on here, left over. That's because the paint was put on is a bit too thick. And that's what happens when you do it, like with a pencil or with a brush. So I'm going to take a bit of just regular printer paper. Doesn't really matter what paper you use. Let's see if I'm going to get the ghost prints like the leftover. Yeah. But see, you still see a bit of ice cream but not too much. So that means that I either didn't use too much pain or I just was just quick enough to pull it. Because it starts drying. Yeah. You can clean this off, you can leave it on there for your next print. Something I usually do when I have like paint left over like this is brush it on here maybe with a Brayer and get a nice print of it. But I think I'm going to leave this pain on because I think I'm going to use, I'm going to use this for my next experiment. Clean the plate. So you're going to see, well, not really clean. The cleaner you can see better. What I'm going to do with my next print, let's do a recap of this single layer work quick because the paint dries fast. Have your paint ready on your palette before you start or use mat medium as an extender if you just want to work a little bit slower, but don't be too precise. If you want to see every detail, use smooth paper to pull a print because that's easier. 5. Multiple layers on the plate Part 1: Okay, this is the next one. It kind of sounds like we're living up because we're doing multiple layers, but we actually have some extra time. So we don't really need the extender. It's still in here, so we'll use it, but you don't really need to because we're going to let the layers dry before we go on to the next layer. Well, like I told you, you're going to see what it's usually on top of the painting you have to put on here first because you work like backwards. Well, the things I'm going to see first are those tiny dots or like freckles on the strawberry. And I'm just going to those there over here. The light, I don't do it too precisely. I'm going to do as a did See they're darker here, so I'm not going to put this color on there. Like maybe I'm going to put like a little bit more of like raw umber. Let's see how it turns out a little bit darker but they're still see that much of difference. So it darker. Some spots I don't like over here, they're so dark you won't see them at all. So I'm not going to are putting them there. This is so good for you. Perfectionism. You're just going to put some ducts, you know that there needs to be precise. The whole thing isn't going to be too precise. Yeah, I think I have enough but now I could like a color in the red but it's just too much of a hassle. I'm going to wait before this is dry. When this is dry, I'm going to put the red on top. Well, waiting for it to dry because I'm really impatient. I can already do like a bit of the white. We really do everything because it's going to be red on top, so it looks more red. Probably the end result here. And overhear that's something as well. Now we can drink a cup of coffee, drink a cup of tea and wait. Or you can get a blow dryer. I'll do this for you, I'll be back in second. We usually, when I'm asked, how do you know it's dry, how do you know you can put on the next layer? Well, it's a scientific thing, It's really hard you do this. Well, nothing comes off, you're fine. You know, it's dry and, you know, you can start with the next color. My next color is to be red of over here on top, it's, it's going to be really red in here. I'm going to put it like on the background still. I'm going to move my brush not too quickly. Don't press too hard because if it's not really dry, I'm not going to ruin it well. But the white, it doesn't really matter because it's a nice effect. And I don't mind that it dries while I'm working on because, Well, yeah, like I said, it has to dry anyway. It's going to be fairly red over here. I'm going to make it like the darker red like we used before. It's a lot darker here. Yeah. I'm going to keep in mind what you put on first, that's what you're going to see. I usually put like most of the red first, and then I'll do the darker. It's still mix, but it needs to be more red. Raw. Umber. Yeah, well, I can let this try before I go with the greens, but like I said before, I'm impatient. So I'll probably just do greens. Right now I see lighter and darker greens. And it doesn't have to be precise, I just have a light olive and a dark olive. Put them on my palette. And because you see the lights, it's like grains I want to see that won't shine through. If you put dark on first, I'll just put on the light first. Again, to precise, just a hint of light on the movement on there. I don't even want is in my brush. I'm going to blend it a bit. Yeah, I think this looks like a strawberry to me, but I want to have a background and maybe we can pick up these crunchy things. So I need to put the background on. I can work around it, but yeah, I don't. I'm lazy. I just want to get the whole background. So I'll just take a moment before I do the background well, I'm going to use my expert technique again to see if it's right. Yes, it is. So we can put a background on the background. I'm not going to use a brush. You can if you want to have the strokes, but I think I'm going to use a Brayer because it's going to be more of a flat background and then the strawberry like this pop up. You can do it by putting paint on here, but I think I'm going to put it aside, put Bray on it and then on here I'm going to use this like I, for the seeds on the strawberry. Still press lightly. I don't want to mess it up. I don't want to put too much on there. That's why I want to have a nice print, A thin layer, not too thin, because then I won't get everything off thin enough. This is just practice. So you know how thin your layer must be. Sometimes mess it, but that's the fun of jelly printing. 6. Multiple layers on the plate Part 2: I'm going to take my cart sock, going to put it on top. You can use your bra, you can use your barn, or you can just use your hands like I do. Yes. I think I even pressure everywhere and let's see what happened. It's so much fun. It's always oh, no. Well, see this happened. That meant that this was probably dry enough. But I didn't put enough of the titanium buff on top tube. Lift this off. One of the things I could have done if I just put the print in like exactly the same position, that's really hard now. I could put some met medium on here and put it on there and sometimes I like the grun shy look that has right now or I just start all over, this happens. You see it happens to me. Let's see. Yeah, I just put met medium on here. Let's see what happens. Let's see if I can lift it off with the net medium. Well, and I want to have it like that's why you position it. You don't give it as much as I do. That's why you position it, right? Let's see. I hope I did it right. Believe the big crikey works. Yeah. No, I didn't. It didn't. What am I going to do? See what happens now. Yeah, I think that's enough. And see if I can position you right. I hope I did. Otherwise I'm gonna just just get a go print. No, it won't go, it won't go anymore. What am I to do? See what it got. Sprint does. Oh, look at that. The ghost print worked well. Not really what I want it, but better than the first print. And now you might be thinking, I know why. If you can do it in your experience, what am I to do? Well, I can tell you this happens to everyone, but it doesn't really matter. That's part of the fun and the learning process. That's why I don't use that like expensive kind of paper. Well, not for these projects. At least this is one I did just practice. It went up a lot better, but it still didn't get everything off over here. Well, I like the granchy look because you see, this is from the ice cream my last time I want it before. Actually, I like this one because it's not perfect. Now we have to think of why did it happen. Could be not enough paint. Could be like too much paint. Well, I didn't put anything underneath, but I actually did. Just figure out, see what happens to you. I love this one, I'm going to frame this one. But yeah, that's what happens. Well, I'm going to do this again for you and now it's going to be right. I'm going to do exactly the same thing, but I'm going to set up a video. Well you can see that I just worked a little bit quicker. I wasn't that good with yelights and things that could have done it a bit. But yeah, since you've done it before, I don't always want to feel like doing it again. But overall, it lifted up better. Problem probably was I didn't dry this long enough before I put the under layer on. The other layer I put on thinner than I did last time because it's too thick can pull. And when it's, it can pull, I use different paper, but that's just because I had on hand. Sometimes you prefer different kind paper a lot people like to do it on tissue paper. See what works for you. Again, different results, one I did yesterday. Still. It's fun. Yeah, I'm pleased so I could show you that it happened to everyone, but still you can't fix it. Well, let's do a recap of this multiple layer. Start with the details first because what's first on your plate will be last on your paper and wait for each layer to dry. Otherwise, we'll smudge. Don't make the last layer too thin. Otherwise, you won't pull the print and don't make the last layer too thick. Otherwise, you will only paint and the print either. Don't be too precise. It's not going to be precise on your paper either. This is the fun of playing and painting on a jelly plate. 7. Multiple layers on paper Part 1: Okay, well, now we're going to do multiple layers as well, but we're now going to do the multiple layers on the plate. We're going to do the multiple layers on the paper. While painting on the plate. Last time we were like first the details and then we went backwards because flipped over on the page. Now we're going to the background and just build up. Well, that's why we're going to start with the sky. This guy, we are going to like blue with white. It's not rocket science. It's not really precise. The way you want to do it can actually I put it on there, but you really need to. I think I'm going to put it on here. Yeah, I'm still going to do it here. Why? It has extra layers. Sometimes it's quite nice to have that layer underneath and sometimes it's quite nice when you're doing a sky and you find out that too much bottom of your painting or your print is just a little nicer than the top, so you can just flip it around. That's why I usually do everything like this. I'm doing it a bit too white. I think maybe I'm going to do like two prints. I think it's just too wide. I need it more blue or I can mix it up, clean my brain. And that's what I'm doing on site. I have like a piece of paper and I'm just rolling it off excess P. I can just go over this again, see where this takes me. You can use card stock, but I'm doing prints on paper this time just to show the difference. I can put it on there like this, but since we're going to use different kinds of prints on one paper, it's easier to position it. You have the positioning tool, you can show like this positioning tool you can put on here from jelly plate, Not that cheap, it's easier to find a different solution. I'm actually going to use just like a corner. I'm going to put my corner on that corner. So it's here, it has a side of here, It's more or less, it's not precise, Maybe that's in the charm of it. Let me see if I rub it down. Let me see what happens. Let me see what happens if I lift it off. You see it's more white. Actually, this would be a fun one to paint a dog on there or something. It's fun, not the background I was looking for. I can either take like a pencil and make a dog out of it because it's fun. Either leave it as it is because that's part of the charm, or I can make a new one. I don't like it. I can start like all over again. One, I can just I have left here. Who's put it on there? I yeah, I'm not going to put that white on that. Maybe I'm just going to light blue finish on there. So if I do this mixing, well, see the upper corner, there was no percent, I got a little bluer. See where it takes me, then it's a little bluer. Now, I still want the clouds. Yeah, I can, but I like these clouds too. Not too bad if I take more prints, because left over papers are never left over papers with me. I use them in my collage or I print something on top of them. Next time I'll stick with this. Yes, well the next under layer, it's like the grass and like some of the hills here and it's like greenish. Yeah, I think there's some yellow in there now. I'm not going to print here, of course, because then I'll go to my sky. I'm just going to do it here. Yellow. Just yellow a screen put in here. I'm not sure if you think I'm Mbling, but Yeah, I'm just playing as you go, Swoop, se go here because it's almost a Kate here to green here. And I'm not focusing on the flowers at all at the moment, I'm focusing on this because the flowers will be on top later on here, it's a lot darker, it's the heels dark as well. Here I need more yellowish. I can mix it up here as well. I don't want it to be too yellow because I think I'm going to use the yellowish color for grass there. I'm fine with this just being green. I'm not wiping my brush because I don't think I need to give some texture as well. All I'm doing is I didn't use Met medium. Probably wait too long, Put it up here in the corner again and align it well. It's hard to align it on the jelly plate. The positioning tool is a lot easier to use if you don't have it. You can tape around it so you have some thing you can measure it to a little bit of the blue coming through. It's okay. See, I did some greenish that's here. So they're here. Well, those are little surprises. I'll work with that. But this is how it ended up so far. No, I have to put in the flowers and the flowers are white and a little purplish. Take the white, the dark green, dark green. This is more like yellowish gray, the yellow ochre. At least I like yellow ochre, so I'm going to use yellow ochre. You still need some of this? I don't think so. Purple? Yeah, purple. Since we already have a little bit of blue, I'm just going to a little magenta. 8. Multiple layers on paper Part 2: Okay, well, here we go. I'm going to start with paintings. I didn't work with any extender. I have to hurry up a bit. I should have probably this one Ms. Lisa gets legged edges and I don't mind if the like, the colors, like blends a bit. This movement there. Actually, I wanted to do all this in one go with the things out there. But since I didn't use the extender and I think I'm going to do this in the second round, let's see where it is. That's why I have to think ahead and not wow, you see what happens. Stu, I like it. Yes, I do. And I don't mind still out here because it gives me a guide. See what I'm going to do there. Thank you. It doesn't have to be precise still. You can. I like the bit of bit freedom to go to it. Use a smaller brush maybe? Yeah, I'm going to use a smaller brush but then I have to be supper quick. Well, let's see what happens. I have to well, the paper is curling up a little bit because I use printer paper instead of cartridge paper. So that's why cartridge paper could be a easier and I wanted to see I can manage with printer paper on this one as well. So you can see it doesn't need to make lovely arts. Take it off, you see some of it coming here. It gives you the texture. Well, you can keep on going and make more of those grassy things and flowers. One thing you could also do is like finish it up with like a pencil or a crayon or probably in a marker. You can actually just a brush and put chips on there, like to see it a bit more. I actually don't like it because then I'm going to overthink it and overwork it again. Because now I started doing it and I'm like, yeah, I need to do it here too. I need to do it here too. That's something that you should think of when you find a picture yourself. Make it too many details. It's hard. I like the way those turned out a happy with it. Make it multi layered. Now let's do a recap of this multi layer lesson. Choose a picture with not too many details because they make it harder to print. Start with the background, because you have that on your paper first. Then dissect each layer which comes, which comes later. The brush strokes are fun to use because you give texture. Don't forget about the drying time. If you want to have them off your plate quickly enough, you can always add details later with your favorite medium. 9. Let’s make another: Okay, well I'm just going to take to another one just because why it's fun. I'll start with the first layer a little bit white. But since I have to pick bottle, I'm going to pick it up and put it on here. It looks like a pellet knife I do brush. It could be more white this time because it's more like a whiter sky It was last time it mixes up. That's more card still. You never know until you lift off your print. I feel more, I'd like this one more than last time. Part stock this time, and I'm going to position it again over here at this time. Positioning is a good thing because we have a little house. And if you don't position it well, you have like a floating house. A flying house. You want to be part of the scenery taking off. Oh, well, steel some greenish part on brighter but I don't mind. I actually like it. I like this kind of. Yes, I like the sky because Yeah, Yeah, it's going to work for me. Now, I'm going to do two things. Usually you would say I will go for grass, but when I go for the grass, I don't position well, this will be on top that this will be floating. Since there are still some grass like in front of the house. Just a bit because it's a hill, I'm going to do the house first. And then this, it's really important that you look at your picture and see what's going on and how you're going to work with it. Now, I'm going to need some red. It's already dry so I can put it on the other colors. And it is like a darker red. So I'm just going to do the raw umber. Love working the raw armor, taking some red. And I'm starting with using an extender ser be too precious about it all white rim we know later 'cause I'm going to do this house in layers as well. It can be darker, a lot darker. It's going to be, it looks really weird, but trust me, it's going to be fine. Position the paper, I'm going to take it off. It doesn't really look like a house, but it's going to be a house. Trust me. I don't mind the red still on there. We'll take it off at the next print. And I'm going to smaller brush, I'm going to drop it off a bit here, actually. Otherwise we cannot see the door. I use my finger to rub it off, but you can also use the cotton swap in here, where it's actually the hardest way of working, but it's also one of the most fun ways of working. See, we kept the house. Now we're going to work on the grass. And the grass is going to be green. Not always, not everywhere, light green and dark green N actually there my colors are a lot brighter than they are on the painting. That's okay. I can like it. I'm going to be part and see my brush is a little bit wet. So that's why you get those stripes. But I'll mix it up and you'll be better later, Darker green. Not so precise. I think I do a bit of this between as well, more saturated when I use the burn number or the raw umber. Yeah, I'm going to need more paint work. Work, work it. I think the row on it, it really well, more light in there. But I think I'm going to keep it like this. Again, if you use like an extender, like Met medium, you can be more precise. I don't want to put this, you know, I'm never anxious or anything. But I'm excited because I have no clue how it's turning out. It could be like flying house. It could be exactly right. See what happens. I like the green. So, for a well, the house is on the hill. You do have some highlights. Not as much as we still have the blue picking through. You like it again, You can paint it to make it more clear or make it more precise. If you want realism, don't use this technique, Just go painting yourself or take a picture more accurate than working this way. But I like it this way. This is going to be white in front and there are some stems. So I can do the stems if I want to, but I like it just the push. They call me professional Meismaker. That's what I like doing and that's what I'm doing here again, I'm going to position the paper in the corner here and it's easier because I'm using card stock than print paper. It won't curl up. I have dirty hands, so the back is dirty. And it doesn't really matter if you put it in a frame or scan in, as long as you don't do it in the front. Look at this, This is what happened. 10. Leftover paint: I still have some things left here. What I usually do is finish paint. I have some green leftover. I'm not thinking about it. Of course, I can make a beautiful new painting. I'm not going to bother. I have some red leftover. Put it on the plate. No paint goes to waste if I don't have special project to use it for, and I'm going to put it on my jelly plate in any way I like now, I wanted to use it this way. More white. Yeah, I don't have too many colors right now because I was cares with putting it on the plate. So maybe the result end result wouldn't be as fun and exciting as it could be, but it doesn't matter. Still fun. Soon going to use all the paint. Get my brainer out if I don't want it to be too thick and I cannot pull the print, see things happening here that I would never have thought of. I have you colarge papers. I'm going to show you quite a few. These are a few of the prints that I put with a left over paint from the projects in this course. Some of them look, but they're fun as like callarse paper. But some of them I actually like, I actually like this one. Almost a piece of art by itself, prettiest. Like I said, you can cut it up and use it in Colgar. Nothing goes. Two wts. 11. Final thoughts: Did you have fun during this course swiftly with the brush, making a mess and hopefully make some beautiful prints? Oh, I can't wait to see them in the class projects if you're still unsure. Those happy accidents always happen. Let's try and see what happens next time. If you want to go over those steps, feel free to rewatch this course or download the workbook you can find in the resources section. I also hope this made you more addicted to your jail plate. I lit the fire, and I hope I'm going to see more of those prints from you. Please connect to me on Instagram. I like to see more of your work, of your projects. Hopefully, I'll see you in some future classes. Just follow me here on Skillshare and you'll be updated when I have a new class and there will be some more, I promise. Oh, hopefully I'll see you next time and we'll have as much fun as we did this time.
