I am by no means an artist, but I love tools that make me feel like I am! I love to create my own greeting cards and scrapbook designs, and while I haven’t yet mastered the techniques behind layering color and illustrating with colored pencils and markers, I love what Gelatos do for my layouts!
Available in a variety of colors, Gelatos work like a combination of markers and paint, applying dark color but allowing you to blend colors together for an absolutely beautiful and stunning effect. Able to be used on all kinds of paper, Gelatos will give your art projects a professional and clean look that’s near impossible to get from colored pencils or markers alone.
To help give you a better idea of what Gelatos can do for you, we’ve gathered up 5 awesome tutorials that you can make with Gelatos from Faber-Castell. Which one is your favorite?
