Until next time, OpheliaGelli Printing Session with Random ItemsOphelia Staton, Artist2024-02-08 | Hello and welcome back to my channel. I am Ophelia and thank you so much for joining me today in the studio. My all time favorite sketchpad for printing is BACK....the Soho Urban Artist Colossal sketchpad!!! There is just something amazing about the paper in this sketchpad for printing. So, when I saw it back on the Jerrysartarama website, I grabbed a few in 9x12 size and headed out to my local reuse store for some random items for a gelli printing session. I invite you to grab your supplies or maybe just hang with a cup of coffee as I ramble away. Let me know in the comments if you would like more paper printing type videos - as you all know I absolutely love creating painted type papers for collage, etc.

I always have so much fun printing. Literally like a mad scientist and have to just make myself STOP!!! Luckily, I have plenty of paper at the ready with this Colossal sketchpad!!!
Let me know if you guys are interested in more painted paper type videos as I absolutely love creating them and welp, I'm kind of obsessed with paper!! Also, is there anything you would like to see next??? Let me know in the comments.
Thank you all so much for being here! Until next time, OpheliaPaint with Me: Charvin Extra Fine Acrylics Landscape Set.Ophelia Staton, Artist2024-01-25 | Hello friends, Welcome or welcome back to my channel. Ophelia here and thank you so much for joining me today in the studio. For todays video, I wanted to switch things up a bit as I have gotten VERY comfortable with my current - "trusty" palette of colors. If you have been here for a while, you know that I use the Lukas Cryl Studio Acrylics in pretty much the same colors daily. So, to try to switch things up, I am trying the Charvin Extra Fine Acrylics Landscape Set.
I hope that you all are inspired to switch things up in your studio practice. It truly is amazing how just changing up the colors I use gets me so inspired to actually PLAY and experiment!!!
Please subscribe and give this video a thumbs up and definitely share!!
Thank you so much for watching!!
Until next time, Ophelia

Ophelia here and thank you so much for joining me in the studio today. I honestly wanted to have some time in my journal today - just playing around a bit using supplies that I don't often use AND being a bit more brave with just creative play.... I hope that you will play along with me in your journal and join me in gathering up those supplies that we have purchased and not used and let just have some fun. Supplies Mentioned: Collage/Dictionary Papers: Collage Pack from my Etsy Shop: www.etsy.com/shop/opheliastaton

www.opheliastaton.com Instagram @OpheliaStatonArtist www.etsy.com/shop/opheliastatonArtJournal with Me - Where The Heck Have I Been?!?!Ophelia Staton, Artist2023-12-28 | Hello friends!!! Welcome to In the Studio with Ophelia. In todays video, I am playing in my journal and - well, this almost feels like a Year in Review!!! I have been ABSENT and have missed this space and sharing all the art stuffs with you all. My goodness, it has been way too LONG!!! What a YEAR it has been!!! Grab your journal, a beverage, snack and lets chat for a bit of a catch up on what I have been up to since my last upload in FEBRUARY!!! Good Grief!!!
I also set up a new journal: jerrysartarama.com/fabriano-ecoqua-notebooks There are so many to choose from. I got the 90 gsm one to handle watercolor washes, fountain pen inks and all the things that I would throw at a journal.
The Fountain pen being the main star of the video, is truly a fine writing instrument. The nib is so smooth and the ink simply flows onto the page. I found a great deal of information on the Jerrysartarama website including the two pen body styles and information on the inks as what is on the site is just so comprehensive!
Anywho, I hope you all enjoy todays video. If your morning or afternoon routine involves journaling, what is your pen of choice? Let me know in the comments!!
Until next time, Ophelia

Swatching is so much fun....I am addicted - in all honesty. I will keep saying this - without a doubt, the Painters Color Diary is a game changer for swatching fanatics like me!!! Everything is already DONE!!!
In this video, I wanted to take the information that I gained from my swatches and put it all to use in a few small paintings. It was a lot of fun and so many more ideas were generated!!! I seriously can not wait to pull these colors out again and have more play time.
Thank you all so much for joining me today. I truly appreciate you being here!!!! If you like todays video, please give a like and please subscribe!!!!

Welcome back to in the studio with Ophelia. Thank you all so much for being here!!!

I did not want this video to carry on for forever, so the painting and final thoughts will be coming soon!!!
Stay tuned for Part 2 where I give my final thoughts on this Painters Dairy - SPOILER ALERT, I absolutely LOVE it!!!! And, in Part 2, we paint with these Amsterdam Acrylic Paints!

Music: bensound.comSealing Jerrys Jumob JetOphelia Staton, Artist2022-08-25 | Hello and welcome back to In The Studio with Ophelia. I truly appreciate you all being here.
First, my apologies for the camera angle as well as my voice. My camera holder shifted somehow, and the entire video is OFF!!! We are in volleyball school season, and my voice is shot because I guess I cheer for the UNIVERSE during our games!!!!
Anywho, today I wanted to share with you how I seal the Jerrys Jumbo Jet Black Pencil when using it in an acrylic painting. This is the best way that I have found to prevent the pencil from smudging before I apply the isolation coat and final varnish for my paintings.
Both the Gloss and Matt medium are combined to make "The Recipe" for an isolation coat
I also just realized on the Jerrysartarama website, there is a New York Central Gloss and Matt Medium....I shall now have to give these a try!!!: jerrysartarama.com/nyc-acrylic-mediums

Send Happy Mail: Ophelia Staton P.O. Box 316 Creedmoor NC. 27522Gelli Printing with GoldOphelia Staton, Artist2022-07-28 | Hello everyone and welcome back to in the studio with Ophelia….
I truly appreciate you all being here!! I am so sorry that I did not get a video uploaded before we left to go out of town….you can all tell, I am TOTALLY RUSTY here with getting back into the groove of it all….ANNNNDDDDD, as soon as we got home, the computer issues started…sigh… Yet, here we are!!!
I met Jaime Echt – owner of The Crafters Workshop stencils at NAMTA and was just in love with all of the designs….so, I kind of went a bit BONKERS with a friend of mine – and we agreed to share our purchases…we got a LOT!!!
I then discovered that Lukas – the acrylic paint that I usually use has GOLD….there is silver and a couple of others, but I just picked up the Gold for this and off I went on a playdate of printing and playing with a variety of papers and just having fun….I do really LOVE creating papers so, when I started, it was pretty hard for me to STOP!!!
Amsterdam Acrylic Ink: Deep Gold jerrysartarama.com/talens-amsterdam-acrylic-inks I used the gold ink with a plastic palette and small round brush. So I would not have issues with a clogged spray bottle.
I add water to almost the bottom of the label and then add droppers full of ink...if its too dark, I add a bit more water....if its too light, I add a few more droppers full of ink.
Whew!!!! This was a lot - as whenever I create paper, I do have a lot of fun experimenting!!!
Thanks again so much for watching!!! So sorry for being ALL OVER THE PLACE with recording the footage, and the voice over!!!!
I am feeling so rusty with everything as I try to get back into the swing of it all after being away!!!
I really do appreciate you all being here!!!
Until next time, Ophelia

Today, we take some of the things that I got during my art haul and have fun playing. I have gathered my alcohol inks and well, play. Grab yours and play along, or simply watch and learn from my mistakes - ummmm, experiments before you play!!
***. I used a variety of colors of inks (way too many on one piece of paper. Unfortunately, I did not even pay attention to what colors I was using....or even make note of great color combinations.
The Yellow Journal cover is a Sojourner from many years ago....and the journal is a Stalogy which I mainly use as a Gratitude - or brain dump journal... I keep it on my desk to be able to glue in random paper bits.
Thank you all so much for watching. I truly appreciate you being here. I will definitely be pulling out my alcohol inks again soon as this was a lot of fun - a DISASTER, but I really learned a lot and I did have fun. PLUS....I used my TOYS!!!!

I selected the set of 36 Watercolors and their watercolor paper. I did enjoy them and this of course inspired me to dig out my watercolor palettes from days gone by and show some of my older palettes some love.

Instagram: @OpheliaStatonArtist Website: www.opheliastaton.comCollage Packs Sneak PeekOphelia Staton, Artist2022-03-03 | Hello and thanks for joining me today. In todays video, we are going to take a peek into what goes into a collage pack that are listed on my Etsy shop www.etsy.com/shop/opheliastaton
I have referenced these collage packs before here on my channel and hope this little flip through helps!
I am seriously in love with paper!!! Anything that can be glued down becomes fair game. Finding old books, ledgers, stamps, fortunes, all the little snippets brings me absolute joy!!! I use book pages to paint on with acrylics or watercolors, and I love to use them for gelli prints. If its a cool graphic that I find from a magazine, or scrapbook paper - or wrapping paper, I will often glue it down as is to just add a bit of something "extra" to my sketchbooks....

I wanted to spend some time mixing this color and simply seeing what I can create with this color - to MAKE myself use it more often. It truly is a pretty color once I mix it with other colors on my palette. Materials Used:

Thank you so much for watching. See you next time, OpheliaPaint with Me: Tiny Paintings.Ophelia Staton, Artist2020-07-30 | Hello everyone, Welcome to my channel. I am sharing my process of how I created the tiny abstract paintings that I did for 365 days and posted on my Instagram. I am not sure if you all know, I am mainly an abstract painter. I use my art journals to test an idea or maybe a new color or play. My main line of work in my studio is abstract paintings. I found that creating little paintings would be something that I could create daily without a lot of pressure. I did them on pieces of paper, so that it would not be too precious. The main thing that I wanted to do was to learn. I figured if I did something every single day for a year, I would have to get better at it, right??!! So, that is what I did. I wanted to become more comfortable with painting, and just be far more fearful in my approach.

Ophelia Instagram @opheliasartstudioJournal with Me... Journaling when you dont have a lot of time...Ophelia Staton, Artist2019-01-10 | Hello everyone, Welcome back to my channel. I wanted to possibly start a series here, where I journal- especially when I don't have a lot of time. One thing that I find helps me the most is to use things that are on my desk, have my supplies pulled out and ready to go, and keep those supplies super simple. In this series, I truly want to: 1. Finish off some journals that I have started and have not finished yet....and, 2. Use up my looming and ever growing stash of paper! I mentioned Southern Gal Designs, and her channel is youtube.com/channel/UCLEzw_re2Ce4iopyw-Uxlkg/feed
