Color Inspiration: Gelatos

Color Inspiration: Gelatos!

Gelatos are taking the crafting world by storm! They have been around for awhile, but have recently caught fire. These water-soluble, pigment sticks have tons of versatility. They work beautifully on canvas, watercolor paper, card stock and more.

Join me as we explore this art medium in depth. We will explore both dry and wet options. We will test seven paper types, including:

• Hot Press Watercolor Paper
• Cold Press Watercolor Paper
• Canvas
• Canvas Paper
• Sticky Back Canvas (Ranger Industries)
• Card Stock
• Aged Book Paper
• Then we will pull it all together and create two beautiful cards using what we have learned.

Gelatos are a wonderful option for adding color to your projects. they are easy to store and fun to collect. But learning to use them takes some practice. I will share my favorite tips and techniques. The results will amaze you....and hopefully leave you Color Inspired!

Lesson Include:

• Lesson One: The Basics - What are Gelatos? Are there alternative products? We will also view my samples and you will learn my favorite techniques for using Gelatos.
• Lesson Two: The Papers - In lesson two we will test seven different papers and how to best use Gelatos with each paper.
• Lesson Three: The Stamps - In lesson three we will explore how to color stamped images. We will use both wet and dry methods.
• Lesson Four: The Cards - In lesson four we will pull it all together and create two beautiful cards.

********Very Important Info!********

I realize you may have some questions. :)  I have answered the two most important below.  Click here for the entire list of FAQ.

How do your workshops work?  

All of my workshops are hosted online in a private classroom.  Each workshop has a specific start and end date.  Each week the class is in session I will post new course content.  I will contact students via email when new content is available.

The classroom materials include video demonstrations, printable/downloadable PDF tutorials and slideshow presentations. Forums and a student gallery are available inside each classroom so you can interact with the instructor and fellow students.

 How do I enroll?

Enrollment is simple, but does require a few specific steps.  You will need a Google account to attend the workshop.

1. Click on the Paypal button above to start the payment process.  You can pay either via Paypal or via credit card.  You do NOT need a Paypal account to enroll in the workshop.
2. During the payment process you will notice an option to leave seller instructions.  Please enter the Google email address you want me to send the invitation to. (Don't worry if you miss this step.)
3. You CAN complete the payment process without having a Google account.  But you will NEED one before I can send you an invitation.
4. When I receive the payment one of two things will happen.
1. If you have provided a Google email address with the receipt I will send you an invitation to join the workshop within 48 business hours.
2. If you have NOT provided me with a Google email address I will contact you via the email Paypal provides to ask for your Google email address.  I will then send an invitation to that address.
