- Using different paint colors can enhance the visual appeal of transfers.
- Experimentation is key as results can be unpredictable but beautiful.
- Layering technique involves letting the first image dry before applying the second.
What the video covers
- Nola Lee Kelsey from Gel Inspirations works on an 8x10 gel plate for double exposure image transfers.
- She experiments with layering one image transfer, letting it dry, then applying a second transfer.
- Focus is on using cubist designs with solid black and white sections to create striking visual effects.
- Previous work involved layering flowers first, then a hedgehog with a black background.
- Uses Liquidex Basics paints in turquoise blue and Krenacadome magenta for the transfers.
- Demonstrates trimming edges and positioning images right side up on the plate.
- Discusses the unpredictability and beauty of combining black and white areas in layered transfers.
- Shares tips on applying white paint and preparing the plate for pulling the final image.
- Encourages viewers to explore creative combinations beyond traditional double exposure transfers.
- Highlights that results can vary, making the process experimental and visually interesting.

another one. And that one, depending upon where its black and white is compared to the previous transfer, can give you some absolutely beautiful effects with your images. Uh what we're going to do today and which is a little
Speaker A
And that is where you layer one image transfer, put it down, let it dry, and then use another one.
Speaker A
First I'm going to put them right side up. Today I'm going to try to experiment with some of the cubist designs and see the results we get with this very solid black and white sections.

And that one, depending upon where its black and white is compared to the previous transfer, can give you some absolutely beautiful effects with your images.
Speaker A
Previously, I did the flowers first and then the hedgehog that I just showed you was the second layer and it had a very black background.
Speaker A
Uh, what we're going to do today, and which is a little different than this one that I did the other day.
Speaker A
That is the Liquidex Basics turquoise blue. And I'm going to follow up with the Krenacadome magenta also in the Liquidex basics.
Speaker A
You see how lovely that is? Today I'm going to experiment with some cubist.
Speaker A
come back and then do this one. So, while I was letting this dry for a few minutes, I went to trim the edge off here and I dropped it down on the plate.

little of the paint here and here. It's all right. We'll get over it. Get this next.
Speaker A
So, I'm going to go ahead and start with the flowers. I'm not sure that it matters that much for this particular type of image.
Speaker A
Okay, what I'm going to do is put some probably some white down. I'll have to think about it for a moment and get this ready to pull. Then I'll check out the final result.
Speaker A
Previously, I did the flowers first and then the hedgehog that I just showed you was the second layer, and it had a very black background.
Speaker A
But I like it. I hope you did too. And I hope you got some ideas for other ways to combine double exposure gel image transfers beyond. Absolutely lovely.
Speaker A
These, as you can see, are pretty much 50/50. So, it could be very interesting to see what we get, good or bad.
