Knowing how transparent or opaque a particular color of paint may not be a mighty concern when you’re playing in a lot of ways, but when you’re gel printing it can make all of the difference in whether you achieve the results you expect.  In this video Elizabeth will demo how to take advantage of the varying transparencies of a number of colors of paint to create a multi layered print.  It’s amazing what you can do with a little knowledge!
