I got the gelato gift pack from Michaels and they are quite amazing! They are like a combination of oil pastel and watercolor in their behavior. I made 2 mixed media boards where I am going to contrast the different ways of application.
The first:
This was done oil pastel style. I first stamped the Hero Arts image with versamark ink. I then applied the Gelatos and smudged with my fingers to blend. Blended very easily and smoothly, and after it dries it is smudgeproof.
The Second:
This was done watercolor blended. Again this was first stamped with versamark ink. I applied the Gelatos directo to paper and then used a wet paintbrush to blend. Blended very well with water and paintbrush, and much more control for tight spaces. Also Smudge proof once dry which took about an hour.
I am excited to work with them and do some mixed media Techniques! I am also going to do a tutorial series on layering over this week. I am going to do 4 classes on layering techniques including a tutorial on the above. Please stay tuned for the layering class! :)
