This is the first video of yours I’ve watched. The way you mixed the gel prints with your art and other creative touches gave such a great finished piece with the man with the antlers and the planet and other bits you added. Thank you for sharing your ideas.
Just starting into this and really appreciate your emphasis on trial and error. No perfectionism! I put so much pressure on myself to get it right immediately!! Thank you!!
WOW! Techniques that no other has ventured on RUclips, in my opinion. These are techniques that go way beyond the many tutorials here. Thank you for inspiring and giving your experience.
I'm just starting out on my Gel plate journey but have watched a number of videos on the subject. I agree with the comments below that your videos are clear, very informative and inspiring and I love your creative style. Really glad I have stumbled across your work, thank you.
As always fantastic Mark. Your wealth of ideas is inexhaustible and to envy your relaxed handling of graphic elements. For me you are the master of Gelli Plate.
hi Brygia, just been watching your latest journal flick through. The love you imbue into your creations is remarkable - loving the little illustrations you have peppered through the journal and, of course the textures and colours. Cheers for the message : )
Wow, fantastic, you are an amazingly creative artist! This video is jam packed with great ideas, I have never been successful with image transfers, but after watching this, I see a couple of things I haven't considered before, (light pressure and limited time on the plate), also never considered adding gelli plate stencil details into the background. Thank you for your generous sharing, I am recommending your videos!
I've only just learned about gel plates in the last few days so I'm binge watching all kinds of creators to see what's possible. You've shown me some things nobody else has. I'm inspired!
That was my aim with the gel videos, once I starting investigating, it seemed to me that it is a bit of an untapped resource for those on a budget with limited space, time, money for equipment etc : ) so glad vids are useful to you and thanks for taking the time to comment : )
Saturday September 9th, 2023…thanks for making videos! I just subscribed and I’ll be watching every single one that you do! I always buy stuff as soon as I find a new technique, then I never use it. This will make me work at it ! Cheryl
Thanks Mark, I love the antler guy especially, lots of potential for adding hand-drawn elements 👍 I often struggle with being more experimental in my art but your "have a go and see what happens" attitude helps me a lot
Awesome, Man! I've played with screen printing, which is plenty fun, but this gel plate technique is amazing! Yeates, you make it look easy, thanks for sharing with us👍💫
So I’m watching and the guy from AnOther looks o.k. … then you add the Posca and your design catches fire, and suddenly what was just o.k. is phenomenal! So much fun - the end result and watching you work. It’s a little like sleight of hand. Congratulations on your phone. I only got one about 18 months ago and it hasn’t ruined my life … yet. I just use it as a phone (I call it an Amish phone) and take photos once in a while, because I don’t want to be one of Those People who use theirs so much that they have no idea what’s going on around them. I’m definitely interested in watching some water soluble paint content. I hope to be able to leave you a little tip in December because I can’t afford most of the courses I want to take and you’re a diverse curriculum all by yourself!
Hi Lynn, what a lovely message, thanks. Using my phone for some tunes, mapping my runs and wordle too! But its definitely in my pocket when i'm on the bus or train or walking anywhere : )
❤️🌟wow can't thank you enough for teaching us your amazing techniques.. masterful...amazing...absolute delight hearing and watching you teach and have fun..thankyoux
This is the absolute coolest gel plate video I’ve ever seen. I want all three of these prints hanging in my wall. I hope to one day be talented enough to create things like this.
Another weird and wacky but also extremely interesting and enjoyable tutorial. You ARE the Master of the gel plate!! Thanks for sharing your ideas and techniques with us plebs!!
You are incredible!! Always so looking forward to your videos and awesome ideas. I am definitely interested in any kind of tecnique you like to work with - not only gelli plate. But I have to say - the way you use the gelli plate is beyond words. Love it!!
Thx for making this. I got a gelli plate to incorporate in my art and nobody was making a tutorial more geared for what I needed. This was what I was looking for. Thanks bud
Thank you very much for this great video! You explain and show us perfectly how and why Magazine Transfer with the Gelli Plate works. I'm already very excited about your next video and what you create with water-soluble oil paint and what can be done with it. Have a nice time... take care!
Love your work and your ideas... and your voice is luscious. 🤩 Thanks for your encouragement with gel transfers... mine are definitely hit and miss, but I'm fairly new to it, so I'll keep working at it. It's great fun, and if anything, at least I have lots of papers to tear up and use in my collages. Have fun with your new phone and equipment... I love taking photos and then adding to them with the stylus and all the different pens, markers and paint brushes in the app. Samsung has some great brushes and hundreds of colors. It's like art in m pocket when I'm not at home with my materials. Be well - and, thanks again. 💐🙏🏽
I love watching your videos and have learned SO MUCH about all the different ways I can create art with the gel plate. After using a homemade gel plate and getting mediocre results, I finally bought my first commercially made plate and wow - what a difference that makes! This is one of my favorite gel plate videos - when I tell my friends about monoprinting, this is the video I share with them. I wanted to let you know that I used your ideas from this video to create fun glassware! Using craft paint designed for glass that you bake in an oven to make it permanent and dishwasher safe, I used a stencil to put a neat circle of a base color on a pint glass, then added an image transfer of a person over part of the base color. Having the base color under part of the image helped make the face and upper body more visible. It turned out amazingly well! Thank you for all of your creativity and for sharing how you create such interesting and innovative art - I'm always amazed when I see you using another traditional art technique to create images on the gel plate.
Thank you so much for showing what you are doing and explaining so clearly. Your work is so compelling and really cool, it was captivating to watch you make it!
Hi Desiree, somehow it's become my mission to open up options for those you want to do printmaking at home but who may not have loads of equipment, space or cash!!!
I’ve just recently joined the incredible world of gelli plate art and stumbled across you!!! What a lucky moment, and I’ve watched several videos and your ideas and tests of various ways to use it are blowing my mind!!! This video with the creative thought to create an imagine of your own to print transfer …wow! My winter is going to be filled with so much joy and art ❤ Thank you for sharing your technique with us.
A mi tampoco me gusta usar imágenes de revistas, prefiero usar mis propias fotos, pero tengo que conseguir una impresora laser, que me las haga. Donde estoy ahora es un lugar muy pequeño y no tienen, incluso la de inyección de tinta, no está fácil, y con esa la verdad a mi no me resultó. Eres realmente increíble, no se te resiste nada. Mil gracias por tus enseñanzas.
Fab video! I need to try some of these techniques! Love how you really explain the process and break down the real time waiting for paint to dry, some don't always make that clear so thank you!
Dude your style is sooo dope. I also appreciate you telling us what you're doing Alot of these videos claim to be instructional but yet aren't. I'm grateful for you ❤
Once again, so much fun watching you create and share your insights and playing with different mediums. Adding the smaller gel plate was an eye opener. Your ideas are just so full of what if moments. Looking forward to many more explorative videos and thank you once again for sharing so freely.
Thanks so much for these tips, especially the one about using a light touch when pressing the magazine page onto the plate. I *loved* the antlers you drew on the second image. Your figure reminded me of Cernunnos, kind of haunting.
You are truly a master at using masking tape. Looking forward to see your experiments with water-soluble oils. I have a set, that was given to me, but I have not tried them. Oils just feel so intimidating. Cheers!
I love this "out of the box" technique to working with plates. I still haven't really played with my plates but I love the whole putting plates together and using partial images and making them your own unique creation. Thanks for the share!
I just got a gelli plate, and I was so excited to do image transfers, but I haven't been successful at all. Thanks for elucidating on factors that improve transfers, because I've been seeing a bunch of videos and not getting any closer to getting a good transfer..
As always, you've managed to push these techniques beyond their usual boundaries. I've always resisted (pun only somewhat intended) using magazine images, since they're not my own. Who knows what issues that might cause down the road? Using them for personal work, of course, is fine, and a sketchbook is a perfect place to experiment. But I'd never thought of the types of modifications you've done, here. These are brilliant! Extending one gel plate with another and extending marks across them; cutting through an image (by itself); then also adding stuff behind the cutouts; manipulating the image on the plate, to make space for "attaching" the hand-drawn antlers--all wonderful ideas that (like many wonderful ideas) seem obvious, in retrospect, but which I've never seen anyone else apply. Excellent! Thanks for another terse, packed episode, dense with great content!
Your videos are very well done and I like your explanations of how things are done. When you experiment, you are good at telling the step by step. Your talents are great!
Love this video, so helpful. Well explained. I know it's hit or miss, but hearing about the thin layer and light pressure and seeing how you use masking tape for clean up, very helpful!! I'm excited to see your water mixable oils! Love your channel so much. Definitely making a bit of a donation!! Thanks.
Such a nice surprise this morning, a new video from you ! Thanks. Never thougt to do a print directly in my scetchbook . Better than having them lying around ! Going to do it now ! Great tip to use the masking tape to clean up. Better than using the Qtips for various reasons ! And watersoluble oils on the gelli plate ? Impossible ! Haha. Looking forward to whatyou are going to do with them. As always : All the best to you.
Lovely message Marijke, thanks. Definitely agree about Q Tips - the only Q Tip in my work fronts A Tribe Called Quest!!!!! Water soluble oils will not be going near the gel plate!!! Thanks too for ongoing support - it's massively appreciated : )
This is the first video of yours I’ve watched. The way you mixed the gel prints with your art and other creative touches gave such a great finished piece with the man with the antlers and the planet and other bits you added. Thank you for sharing your ideas.
Thanks Julie, glad you enjoyed and hopefully you'll check out some of my other videos : )
Just starting into this and really appreciate your emphasis on trial and error. No perfectionism! I put so much pressure on myself to get it right immediately!! Thank you!!
Just got a gel plate. Your videos are really helpful, and relaxing. Thank you.
Fun video. I love how your young mind opens up my 71+yo grey cells! LOL! Thank you!
Masterful!! You are the best Gelli print artist on RUclips!
That's very kind Eva, thank you. : )
I agree! You’re a wonderful artist. Your work is absolutely stunning and beautiful!
Guauuuuu! 😍
Totally agreed! He is DA BEST! Missing your new videos, still enjoying the amazing ones you have, Yates! ❤
WOW! Techniques that no other has ventured on RUclips, in my opinion. These are techniques that go way beyond the many tutorials here. Thank you for inspiring and giving your experience.
I've only just started with gelli plate printing, but your videos make me so giddy thinking of the things I can do!❤
I hope you have fun with it Amy, even when things don't go to plan with gel plates you often make discoveries and end up somewhere pleasing : )
And now I am a happier woman for having listened to this. TY for encouraging mindful crafty play.
I'm just starting out on my Gel plate journey but have watched a number of videos on the subject. I agree with the comments below that your videos are clear, very informative and inspiring and I love your creative style. Really glad I have stumbled across your work, thank you.
You making it look so easy… it’s the details you put in that makes it fabulous 🎉
Cheers Reni, good to know you're still tuning in : )
As always fantastic Mark. Your wealth of ideas is inexhaustible and to envy your relaxed handling of graphic elements. For me you are the master of Gelli Plate.
hi Brygia, just been watching your latest journal flick through. The love you imbue into your creations is remarkable - loving the little illustrations you have peppered through the journal and, of course the textures and colours. Cheers for the message : )
I am wondering if you've used any magazine imagines from the 50's? The ink seems very saturated and colorful.
J’adore vos projets,vous nous surprendre et nous amenez ailleurs.Merci pour votre grande générosité.
It’s always a treat to see your video releases! The antler guy is wonderful!
Wow, fantastic, you are an amazingly creative artist! This video is jam packed with great ideas, I have never been successful with image transfers, but after watching this, I see a couple of things I haven't considered before, (light pressure and limited time on the plate), also never considered adding gelli plate stencil details into the background.

You are awesome and open my creative mind! Thank you!
I've only just learned about gel plates in the last few days so I'm binge watching all kinds of creators to see what's possible. You've shown me some things nobody else has. I'm inspired!
Really nice video! I am always happy to see one of your videos come out. Thank you!
Thank you, it’s really something else then what you see. Really creative 👍🏼
I am watching with amazement - you are opening a completely new gelli-plate-world to me - thank you!
That was my aim with the gel videos, once I starting investigating, it seemed to me that it is a bit of an untapped resource for those on a budget with limited space, time, money for equipment etc : ) so glad vids are useful to you and thanks for taking the time to comment : )
You are seriously awesome! Thanks so much for sharing
Thank you for sharing your process. Love your work. 😊👍🏻
So exciting to see new video's from you .. thank you for all your awesome content!
I get so excited when the new video notification pops up for you. This one was fantastic and has me thinking about collage transfers.
Glad you enjoyed Robyn and thanks for the klovely message : )

I learn so much from your posts here. Thank you!
Watching you work while too sick to move...Thanks for the 18 minutes of escape! You're
the making marks master!✌🏻
Get well soon : ) x
Fascinating. So encouraging to hear that you struggle with image transfers. I find each gel plate reacts differently too.
I should have included the pile of 3 or 4 scrunched images that didn't transfer well!!
Thanks Mark, I love the antler guy especially, lots of potential for adding hand-drawn elements 👍 I often struggle with being more experimental in my art but your "have a go and see what happens" attitude helps me a lot
You are SO creative. Every video is filled with gems! Thank you!
Hi Jeka, thanks, your comments mean a lot, I know you've been supporting channel since near the beginning ; )
Awesome, Man! I've played with screen printing, which is plenty fun, but this gel plate technique is amazing! Yeates, you make it look easy, thanks for sharing with us👍💫
As usual, inspirational! Thanks.
Just what I was looking for! Thanks for breaking it down so easily!
This has generated do many ideas for me - but also practical tips like allowing more time to transfer images. Plenty of play time ahead!
Oh my God, so crazily original!! I love that your work is not cheesy. Great printings!❤ So glad I‘ve found your Chanel!
It I just different Keira

Wow again. You are inspiringly creative. Thank you for sharing your explorations and discoveries!
A pleasure Joan, thanks for kind words : )

I loved this! Especially appreciate the way your light touch is demonstrated. love your enhancements to each print. I look forward to trying this.❤
Hi Joan, glad the vid was useful. That light touch, yep, it is important!!!
Brilliant demonstration of infinite possibilities
Thank for lots of inspiration! Great fun and cool-stuff! Gonna start doing this myself now.

❤🎉😊❤🎉rewatching...i bought some of those water soluble oil paints too, haven't tried them put yet either.
Thanks for another inspiring and informative video. I love the idea of adding gel plates to extend the image!
A pleasure, and, yes, they fit together pretty well to extend your work space : )
I really enjoyed watching this.
Very innovative use of the gell plate. Love how you're incorporating a lot of your artistic talent with the plate.
So glad I found you!!🎉
Fantastic! Thank you for the tips and tricks.
Thank you for this! Your tutorial was perfect. I FINALLY got a magazine image transfer to work on the gelli plate.
Loved every single thing about this vid. EVERY.SINGLE.THING!
Love your work. One of the best around with the gel plate. 🙂
Really kind comment, thanks : )
Again... sooo good 😊 great ideas and thank you so much!
really makes me realize how much i need to do more art!
Wow! So much talent! 😊
I love everything that happens in this video!
: ) lovely comment, thanks
Love this video, so helpful. Well explained. I know it's hit or miss, but hearing about the thin layer and light pressure and seeing how you use masking tape for clean up, very helpful!! I'm excited to see your water mixable oils! Love your channel so much. Definitely making a bit of a donation!! Thanks.
Very kind, cheers Kathy : )
Fantastic as always. Lots of great inspiration. Love that last piece especially!
Such a nice surprise this morning, a new video from you ! Thanks. Never thougt to do a print directly in my scetchbook . Better than having them lying around ! Going to do it now !

Lovely message Marijke, thanks. Definitely agree about Q Tips - the only Q Tip in my work fronts A Tribe Called Quest!!!!!
Water soluble oils will not be going near the gel plate!!! Thanks too for ongoing support - it's massively appreciated : )
Just getting started with transfers and this was very helpful, thanks. Nice GYBE t-shirt too
Great work and ideas. I've had this spankin' new gelli plate sitting on my shelf for some time. Thanks for the inspiration!
excellent images and technique!
