Wonderful challenge Juna!! I always love watching gel printing - and doing it myself too! I am one of those that is also trying to let go of perfectionism! It's so true what you said! My perfectionism is blocking me many times when I paint! I get annoyed on myself when I get stuck on tiny details.... And that makes me sometimes not want to paint. I dream of painting loose lol I will be looking forward to see the next video! Stay safe!

Thank you Juna! I had a go and produced a lovely print. I've not added the white paint layer before and brayered it on with trepidation. My purple layer stayed put! Great fun.

Love this idea, but I find it hard to only make one a day.

I used your supply list for Amazon paints and the color “to/316mr1f” does not come up as a useable paint for an average person, can you help?
