Quirky Queens Journals
Великобритания
Добавлен 10 май 2020
Welcome to quirky queens 😁🌻😁🌻😁🌻
My name’s Kirsten and I love all things abstract and gelli plate related! Modern art, especially abstract expressionism is my favourite genre, although the more I learn, the more genres I like. I’ve recently been loitering about the colour field videos on RUclips.
I share my successes, failures and ramblings. I try to make sense of the art techniques and above all, have fun doing so.
So, if you are an art nerd, a gelli plate fanatic and a fan of whiling away time improving at art, then grab a brush or a brayer and ramble on with me.

My first 2 weeks at art school sketchbooks tour vlog
#artschool #sketchbooktour #artjournal
It’s been 2 weeks since I started college and we have done so much.
Line weight, deconstruct and reconstruct. Photographing work. Drawing with inks, continuous lines, mark making, collage and more.
I have an A3 giant sketchbook and a junk journal I’ve used as an art journal.
This is a vlog of what I’ve done thus far and it’s been fantastic.
I hope you enjoy.

#abstractart #sketchbooktour #collage I visited the printmakers festival in Stirling university. I bought some cards and got some lovely paper. I’ve been working away in the sketchbooks too, adding layers, patterns, collage and mixed media generally. I spent a lot of time exploring shape and line. I show the printmakers programme with all the artists listed with their contact details. I hope yo...

#abstractart #mixedmedia #sketchbook I’ve been doing a lot of work in sketchbooks over the last few weeks. I’ve applied to do a BFA (starting with HNC) at art school. I will need sketchbooks if I get an interview. I’ve used a lot of mixed media, collage, oil pastels, acrylic paint, kids paint, pencil, charcoal and more. This is a chat about what I’ve done, and the benefits of using a sketchbook...

Sgraffito on the big gel plate update: easier, cleaner method
Просмотров 2,3 тыс.5 месяцев назад
#gelliplate #abstractart #artjournal I’ve found an easier, cleaner way to achieve sgraffito on the gel plate. I think this is a better version than in my previous video: ruclips.net/video/I_AGGWEtll8/видео.htmlsi=zneWEUQ0nAo0wjUA I used gel plate, black and white acrylic paint, brayers, paper, cotton buds and baby oil. I’m really happy with the dramatic block printing type effect this technique...
Painting colourful abstract on the big gel plate
Просмотров 9846 месяцев назад
#abstractart #gelliplate #artjournal #acrylicpainting I have a new 16 x 20 inches gel plate from @GelliArts It is magical to work on top of. I decided it should be christened with a freehand painting in bright colours. I’ve recently been inspired by Gillian Ayers who paints the most vibrant, happy, intense and interesting abstract pictures. I used acrylic paints, paintbrushes, a brayer. I finis...
Mini collages using gel prints with a simplified approach
Просмотров 5466 месяцев назад
#abstractart #artjournal #collage I’m continuing my foray into collage. I decided to simplify my approach by working on small squares (I used greetings cards as my base). I limited the papers to 2 or 3 per picture. I used limited colours, adding green and red to subdue patterns…but not hide. I used black and white to add contrast. I also used gel prints as the collage papers, scissors, ruler, p...
Collage art with painted papers and gel prints
Просмотров 3956 месяцев назад
#abstractart #acrylicpainting #collageart I used card as the base for these collages (from product packaging). I used gel prints, painted papers as the collage papers. I used acrylic paint, pan pastel (a colouring pencil would have been better), gel medium (to glue). I created shapes with the papers. I created shadows, a colour palette, positioning and a finished piece with the acrylic paint. I...
Repeating patterns on the gel plate with stamps and pens

#abstractart #gelliplate #collage I used 140gsm cartridge paper as I wanted to make some sturdier collage papers. I used linocuts, foam stamps, jumbo marker and acrylic paint pens. Also acrylic paint, beaters and the gel plate. I wanted some repeating patterns in a single colour on a white background for the project I have planned. Please note drying time for most pulls approximately1 minute I ...
Let’s make Artist Trading Cards (ATCs) using gel prints, paint and stencils
Просмотров 3866 месяцев назад
#abstractart #acrylicpainting #miniart How to make beautiful mini artist trading cards? I used a gel print, cut into 2.5 x3.5 inches. I used cheap poster paint, acrylic paint, pan pastels, stencils. I also used a resist technique so i could add a distressed look to the cards. The gel print was made using hannemuhle paper. I do suggest good quality paper…or gluing your gel print to a sturdy pape...
Easy collograph on the gel plate using children board book
Просмотров 7926 месяцев назад
#gelliplate #monoprinting #abstractart I made a collograph using a child’s board book page. The surface is easy to carve and shape. I carved a vase of flowers in a loose abstract style. I used acrylic paint to transfer to the gel plate. I painted with children’s poster paint to give transparent colours and a painterly effect. I hope you enjoy. Kirsten 🌻

Very creative and beautiful, it looks so much fun
So creative and beautiful ❤
The lovely thing about the ones that come out with messy bits or bits that just don’t work, you keep them anyway to tear up for collages, when you can just keep the fragments that work.
I have been hugely impressed with your technique. Years ago I minored in printmaking at art school and loved the process of plate preparation, whether relief lino or intaglio print. Where I live in Australia right now, there in’t a printing press anywhere near me, and I can’t afford my own. But I do have gelli plate, and thanks to a you a whole new door has opened. So thank you for a creative boost at a time in my life where i need all the boosts I can find.
Love them sweetie, absolutely awesome…missing you on YT, hoping you and yours are good ❤❤❤
A really amazing tutorial full of terrific ideas. I'm an old chap now and never done this type of art but you've certainly inspired me. Thank you
Love them all!
fabulous video. thanks so much for all these ideas. you're a true art adventurer! do you know the youtube channel 'Printing at Home with Ruth Ander'? She recently posted a video about using Tetrapak (flattened out food and drink containers) to make drypoint printing plates, if you're interested in trying that. i plan to try it soon. :)
Really enjoyed you video!!Thank you so much for sharing your ideas...
Hi thanks a lot. One of the best vlogs about gelli even if it is easier to look than to realise. 😊 Especially transfer of an image, a very moderate result. Love your accent
Aluminum foil tape? Never heard of it here I’ll google it
Really excellent video - clear, informed, well explained, clever ideas. Thank you!
Was your image on magazine type of paper?
Hi, it was like a thin book paper. Not glossy but as if it had a slight coating. Maybe like underlay paper or a less fragile newsprint. Sorry it’s not more helpful.
Omgosh, just discovered your sgraffito technique on gel plates….just began my gel plate adventures two days ago for the first time! I am addicted! These are wonderful prints ❤❤❤! Thank you from the US! ❤So needed to see this to cheer me up in these dark times ahead for our country.❤️❤️❤️
I feel very much for you guys. It’s unimaginable how he got in again!! 😩🤬 I have a newer sgraffito video where I use cotton buds with baby oil. It’s much cleaner and easier to do. The baby oil helps it glide through the dry paint. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@ Thank you 🙏!
Did you make your jeli plate?
Hi Olivia, no I bought it on Amazon. This is the gel press 8x10”, a bit smaller than a4. I have a giant gelli arts plate too, but I really prefer gel press. It’s probably because I’d only ever used gel press. You get to know the gelli plate the more you use it.
@quirkyqueens thank you.
Great video of a variety of techniques. Thank you !
What a wonderful technique and so beautiful!
Your acrylic pen drawing, initially, made me smile…..
Thank you, Kristen. I learned a lot and you explain things clearly.
Thank you too for watching!! 🥰
I loved this. I am new to your channel and I just want you to know that I found this quite inspiring. I have one complaint though. You don't seem to post very often. 😕I'm afraid I'll get through all the inspiration you offer and then be sad.
Hi, thank you soooo much!!!! So I started a fine art degree in September. It’s a little more time consuming than I anticipated (sooooooooo much more). I definitely plan to share my learning and techniques but every week I have more and more assignments. Please know I will resume weekly videos, it just might be nearer Christmas time. I’m pretty sure as I get on top of being a student again I will have time. I became an art student to help grow this channel, it’s my goal. Long story short: please bear with me and know this channel will resume action very soon!!! 😁😁😁🥰
Your prints are just beautiful. Your sense of balance, design and texture is amazing. All this with Black and White! No nonsense here👍
Hi Linda, thanks!!!!!!! I do not like the fluff or sales pitch. Im on a bit of a hiatus just now as I’ve started a fine art degree. It’s taken up more time than I anticipated. Please bear with me as I will have regular videos again soon, I reckon near Christmas time 🥳🥰🐎🐴
Thank you for you video I have learned so must and enjoyed watching.
Hi Brenda, thank you. I’m on a bit of a break just now as I’ve started an art degree and the time required is way more than I expected. However I anticipate normal service (weekly videos) to resume near Christmas.
I did enjoy. Thank you so much
Love the idea of the rubber tool or plastic palette knife to make marks instead of other items that may damage the gelli plate
I have pro it's different like maine
At least the prayers are clean.😂
Omg l love these what an amazing idea , thanku for sharing
I like the way you edited this video. Thanks for showcasing black and white gel printing-neutrals tend to get overlooked.
Thank you.
The last layer application of gold really transformed the piece. It was looking muddy and dull and now it is glorious: magic!
loved it
I love how creative you are and your lovely accent! Thank you, Linda from BC, Canada
Fantastic!!!
Thanks❤
Fab rendition of aw88's tutes...bravo!!
What type of paint do you use for the gelli art print?
Hi, acrylic paint. The brand is sennelier abstract…but any acrylic paint will do.
Collograph plates. Matte gel gives one effect, gloss something different and fabrics are good. You are a real printmaker
Aw Chris, thank you!!!!!!! That is so brilliant to hear.
I love this, such a joy watching you
yours is the first video I've watched where you have actually said to let your 'base' paint dry. ! No one seems to say whether you leave the layers to dry or not. Maybe its just for this particular technique?
Hi sparklie, always let them dry. I have a better version of this technique too. A bit of baby oil on the cotton bud, the dried paint just glides off.
I'm definitely having a go of this with my gelli plate. It's got a really folk art feel to it
Hi Emma, thank you!!!!! I have a newer version of this which works better. In my last 5 videos I’m sure. A bit of baby oil on the cotton bud helps it glide.

Hi there, I enjoy watching you work. I have a question about the alcohol markers. I have the exact same brand. I used them once and they permanently stained my plate. How do you remove residual marks, please? Thank you, Lynn
Love the pink stenciling.
Thank you amber!!! Me too…it feels like I shouldn’t be a fan of pink, but I am!!!! 😂🥰
I can't wait to get started. Thanks . awesome. Love it.
Hi cass, thank you!!!! I’ve got a more recent video where adding baby oil to the cotton bud gives a smoother glide. Which is very relaxing to do!!!
These are lovely, lots of good ideas here 😅
Hi Jen, thank you!! I loved these too. They really look good in a simple pocket etc. 🥰
Oh my, Kirsten! How wonderful to see you dive in your new Sea Of Adventure. So colorful and touching to see and feel your engagement and the design of your first impressions. This came at the right time, I guess (And I liked to see your humour - Selfi etc. ). Wish you luck and healing and open heart, eyes and ears to get out of the teachings as much as possible. Many of the terms were familiar to me from attendance of my earlier art courses and I well remember my excitement and joy. Be blessed my dear. Lots of hugs from Britta
Lots of hugs to you too Britta. I hope you’re well. I’m on the bus to college as we speak. I’m excited to see what arty surprises today brings. You can keep me right if I go off in the wrong direction 😂❤️❤️❤️
So interesting to see your art school journey!! And…did i hear you say you are getting married in 2 weeks?? Congratulations!!! 🍀💖🍀💖🍾
Yes!! 2 weeks on Friday. Small family only affair. I’m loving learning about the art. So different to nursing as guidelines much more ambiguous. So much more me Machteld!!! ❤️🌺❤️🌼
Fantastic journal flip through. Thanks! My cheeks hurt from smiling so much as I watched and listened to your thoughts. It's all so wonderful and I hope the adujustment to the new environment, schedule, activites, people, etc is gentle on you and that you back is all better very soon. I'm really happy for you.
Thanks apple!! It’s been a shock to the system rejoining the world, but it was the right time. I think that’s why my back went, lazy muscles 😂🤣😂
I so enjoyed seeing your art school pieces! Sounds like you are thriving at your new adventure. I am looking forward to your future shares.
Thanks Lydia. I hope you’re well. I wish I could stream it live for you all to join in. That’s the future…I’m not a fan of these online pay for art schools. I’ll be using cool lingo soon hanging about with these youngsters 😂🤣
