Using Watercolor Pencils on Gel Prints
What do you do when you have a plan but you’re distracted in the middle by your muse? Follow her lead! I had planned to gel print an art journal page but the clean up prints were so scrumptious I had to ditch the journal. Instead, it was watercolor pencil play on the clean up prints, which were supposed to be on plain paper but that didn’t go as planned either. They were envelopes! Photos and supply list on the blog at https://acolorfuljourney.com/?p=23553 including links to StencilGirl stencils, watercolor pencils, and the Gel Press plate.
I’m Carolyn Dube, a self taught mixed media art adventurer who has rediscovered play. I play with every color of the rainbow, avoid rules whenever possible, and let the little kid inside of me free.

You can find my articles in magazines such as Somerset Studio and Cloth Paper Scissors, spot me teaching in person and online workshops, designing stencils for StencilGirl Products, and sharing the message of O.O.P.S.
What does O.O.P.S. stand for? It stands for Outstanding Opportunities Presenting Suddenly.
Those “failures” and “mistakes” that I had so harshly criticized myself about actually became true gifts as soon as I started saying O.O.P.S. Try saying Oops in an angry tone. It makes it even more silly! I just can’t take myself seriously when I say Oops which is just what I needed to play. I began to play, to have fun, and to embrace all of my “mistakes”.
