Welcome back to another episode of Susan McCreevy Artist! In today’s episode, Susan takes us through her process of creating adorable board books with collage techniques. She shares how she upcycles printed papers and adds them to the board books, creating beautiful botanical-themed covers and mixed media pages. Susan also introduces us to various techniques she uses, such as image transfer and painting on napkins, which are great for building confidence in painting. Join us as Susan demonstrates how to add finishing touches to the board books and shares her tips for preserving the pages. So, get your art supplies ready as we dive into the wonderful world of baby board book collages with Susan McCreevy!

Also in this week’s video I will demonstrate how I finish off the last page of my baby board book and add a cover using the gel prints created for the /”Gel Printers Summit/” that I am taking part in next month.

What is the Gel Printers Summit?

GPS brings together top gel plate artists in one place so that they can share their processes, tips & tricks, and artistic thoughts for students around the world.

What will I learn at GPS?

Fourteen instructors will share pre-recorded video lessons incorporating their favorite gel plate techniques to help invigorate your gel plate art.

The summit is self-paced so you can enjoy when you have the time. There’s discussion forums in the classroom where you can ask questions. We will also be hanging out in a Facebook group where you can meet other students and share your work.

We’re looking forward to having both new and experienced artists from around the world in the summit!
