Hey gang, welcome to the studio Diana here today. Thanks for stopping by. I turned on the camera while I was swatching out a set of metallic gelatos and you can I think you can see how shimmery these are there really pretty and after I swatched them I started to mix some gelato colors together and then I thought I want to do it on black and let's bring you along for the ride here so that was silver going down and then just rubbing it in I did try on the white sheet I do want to tell you first of all when you're swatching colors use your good paper you want to see how these materials will behave on the paper you're going to use them on and I'm just trying to make sure that I've got them in the same order and it's so cool to see the difference in these colors between black and white and any kind of pearl metallic you really want to try it on both black and white and color cardstock cardstocks that this kind of cardstock is this it might be basil black that's a nice black cardstock and I'm usually that unibull signal works great look at that shimmer oh my gosh that pink and that mint is fabulous so I've been just rubbing these in with my fingers but you feel free to use a cosmetic wedge or the dense film that comes packed into the gelato's kits they're really that film is perfect you just have to clean it colors are fab and you know I do this with every material I get this is my first sort of play with the material see what kind of color it really is see what how it goes down how it feels how it blends into the paper I know you're not actually making something and I know it's really hard to sort of come to terms with doing something like this but it's included under my definition of of playing this kind of thing it's just fun and relaxing and then you start mixing colors or at least I do that one that color that I used to carry and I was like I'm not crazy about that color and I tried mixing it together and I fell in love with it and that that's look how different that ice roses that's between the white paper this color is credible that I think that's I think that might be a line I might be getting that confused with the brights that's a beautiful set as well ice pair ice pair gosh and it looks much less green on the black paper and I'm going to mix those two together the I think that's melon and champagne and you can see I'm just putting some of the materials down and I am labeling what I'm doing sometimes I forget to label things so you do want to try to remember that now I'm sweeping down and then sweeping up so I can see what kind of a sort of an ombri mix I get with that I look that she I'm falling more in love with these gelatos I've always enjoyed working with them they have the same sort of consistency as a nice oil pastel and they are of course water soluble which is an automatic cell to me but just to use them like that really reminds me of oil pastels more so than any other kind of media of the water soluble oil media's I've used so I'm not sure what they're made of but one thing I do know about all these favor castell products is that they are pigment they're light fast fade resistant and that makes them really great in my book because I can sell an original piece of artwork made with this gelatos or pit pens so here we go I'm I going to that was the that was a nice try and that's that iced current again and be sure your fingers are clean when you're doing this because you don't want to pick up other colors but how beautiful that is so pretty I was like dying I was getting all excited when I saw that color coming up and those two I'm going to mix the blueberry and the mint I want to stay away from that great because I thought it might give me some mud and these colors it's making my mouth water so yeah I I have another video I recorded it was just too much to put into this video then this is a cosmetic wedge and I'm just smudging it a little to blur it which I think is a really great lock just that slight blurring I'm gonna link below to a pod I mean I'm sorry a blog post on a favorite castles blog where the designer did a really cool thing I'll leave it it's blurring it gave me some great ideas so I'll link that below and I will link the this set of gelatos below and over on my blog and I think that's the icing which is like white and there's that current again I just sort of fell in love with the current this is what happens when you play with your your stuff and I again I really love making swatch charts for everything which one should I mix together oh yeah that was that's a really pretty color and highly flexible so that'll be it for today stop make sure you subscribe if you like what you see and don't want to miss any more videos for me and it helps me a lot if you hit that like button as well so while you're down there leaving me a comment leave me comments you just hit that like button and I'll be back real soon with more videos in the meantime thanks again for stopping by and I'll see you soon bye gang
