Get ready to take the mystery out of gels, mediums, and all the ways you can use them in your creative projects.

In this month’s Ink to Impression™ class, we’re diving into everything gels and mediums—from understanding the differences between products to learning how they behave, what they work with, and how to use them to create texture, dimension, adhesion, resist effects, layered backgrounds, and so much more.

We’ll explore how different gels and mediums can completely change the look and feel of your projects, including when to reach for one product over another and how to combine them with paints, inks, powders, pigments, papers, embellishments, and other mixed-media supplies.

During the class, we’ll cover:

• Using mediums as adhesives

• Mixing color, powders, and other products into gels

• Building layered mixed-media backgrounds
