The paintings look nice. Thanks for sharing a new approach to painting abstracts. I am 80 years old and have not painted abstracts. Your paintings have given me a desire to give abstract painting a try.
Love them Jackie (& lovely to see you use a gel plate which is one of my favorite art supplies :) Totally agree about the 'magic' that happens with seemingly invisible layers -- I've always loved Rothko's paintings (and knew in general about his painting methods) but I was utterly astounded when I finally saw one in person -- there are clearly layers and layers, evident but barely visible, and it's like looking into infinite space -- I haven't seen another painter do anything close.
Loved it! Difficult to explain how much joy I get from watching you create. Definitely gonna pull out that 5x7 gelli plate and give this a try. As always appreciate you sharing your innovative approach!
Jan 10th - So I did it tonight Jackie! And as requested here is my experience. Background: My commitment for January is a page a day in my 8x12 journal and limiting my time to approximately an hour (what with the corporate grind and all!) So I just decided to follow along as best I could with your approach mimicking colours where I didn't have the exact and allowing substitutions along the way. I am pleased with the results - far from perfect, yet I had fun creating and it was solid learning. Like you I actually did two pages. I would have been better served to use my 9 x 12 gelli plate but it was fun manipulating the 5 x7 all the same. So -- once again thanks for sharing this idea and I'm really happy that I have this experiment in my first journal of 2023. Be well!
Way to go!!! I commend you on prioritizing your art making/self care! For what it’s worth, I remember trying to switch mental modes coming home from my corporate job and trying to turn on my easy-breezy creative mindset - it was often a tough switch. All that to say, if you find it hard to transition to art right away, don’t give up! You may find it helpful to add a buffer like a snack, cup of tea, or some other little habit/ritual that will eventually signal to your brain that it’s time to create. Keep showing up! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼❤️❤️❤️
My go to process is to create collage paper with the Gelli plate and make collages, but I have been wanting to start using the Gelli plate more in this painterly manner. Always inspiring, your process!
Love, love, love! This is why art is so much fun, the possibilities are endless, it’s like magic watching the paints play off of each other and somehow, many layers creates body and depth that our brains can understand! We don’t always understand but our subconscious does!😅 very inspiring video!💕🇨🇦
The first three layers are like a warm up and get me primed for getting into that creative flow. I put all of my doubts and hesitation into those first layers so they can be absent in the following layers. Beautiful video, love your techniques ❤
Hi Katy - I love the image of putting all of your insecurities into the initial layers and then covering over them with the top layers! ❤️ Often I feel most confident in my beginning layers, because I feel the most freedom, I suppose (and also bc no one will ever see them unless I want them too 😆). I’m going to think of you next time I paint ❤️
I'm watching this again because I like your abstract technique. It's a more satisfying result, rather than using lots of stencils and stamps. Thank you!
Very interesting and fun stream. The idea of layers made in the fashion you did with the mark making tools was really inspiring. Thank you for sharing your creativity.
I enjoy your videos so much, especially because you share your thought process. Understanding why you make the decisions you do actually helps me quite a lot. Thank you for the time and effort you clearly put into sharing your work with us!
It’s always so good catching up with your videos Jackie and I love what you did here. I’ve used gelli plate collage papers but never used it directly, I love that textured depth it creates. Absolutely fab! Thank you 🙏🏼😍❤️
So cool!!! I am your newest fan! I love abstract landscapes and as a prairie girl, our blue skies and vast open spaces are awe inspiring and perfect for abstract renderings. I too LOVE the Gelli plate and am always open to new ways to create with it.
Great video with lots of good techniques, Jackie. I have used my gelli plate as a stamp for textural marks--but stuck to an acrylic base--on a large abstract painting. I like the way you used it and I will try it. Thank you!
It's hard to tell how long ago you posted this but I really enjoyed the Creating Abstract Landscapes Using a Gelli Plate. I don't have a small one so I have been doing the initial creation of the sky/land/water . Then I really didn't pursue much more by way of layering. It looked so fun and the end result was so much more interesting than what I had done. Layers =history=interest. New mantra. Thanks so much.
Wow... .I love watching your process, and the outcome was really lovely (other than the fact that RUclips shows your next videos right on top of the final product just as you are showing it!). I definitely want to try this!
@@jackieschomburgart I know, eh? I'm guessing you don't have control over that... though I'm guessing if you leave them showing for a longer period of time, we will be able to see them at the beginning before the next video thumbnails show up!
Hi, a friend told me to check out Gel painting, but he said to be careful. There is a lot of silly stuff out there when you search for Gel Painting. He was right. Your work is so much fun, creative and beautiful. And now I want to try!!!
Thanks for sharing - what an excellent idea using the gelli plate as a stamp! It has given me lots of new ideas for my own work. Also I notice you are using a colour shaper for some of the painting (in a couple of your other videos as well). I like that idea and plan to seek some out as well as for gluing.
I love these Jackie! I recently saw (Heartstone art?) fold her gel plate after she put the paint on it to create the horizon line. I love the experimentation with the gel plate!
Fabulous. So many interesting techniques and what a rich beautiful final product. I already had my gelli plate out so tried the rubber bands and was astonished at how well they worked. Not in the same league as yours but good enough for me to be happy :)
Wow I loved this. And I'm going to have to try it. I always find it amazing that I often see suggestions in the side bar of things that have gone through my head. I've wondered what it would be like to use the gel plate to stamp on a painting with. And by that I mean a big painting. But perhaps I should have a go first in a journal or a small piece. Thanks for this video I loved it and the outcomes. And I've added you to my ever growing list of subscriptions.
I don’t often use my small one - that was part of my reason for trying this out 😆 I suppose you could just use part of your larger one but the small one is pretty fun 😉❤️
Hi Jackie, I found you today on RUclips and I’m watching your videos. I love what I see very much. I have a question, Are you painting on both sides of your sketch book? Most of the videos that I’ve watched you work on two pages together and the question is if you work on the other side of the page too. Thank you for sharing your work and tips. Sara 🙏
Hi Jackie, A following question 😊 What kind of sketchbook are you using? What kind of paper is it and also the blue towel paper that u use how is it called ? I want to order them from Amazon . Thank you so much for the info Sara 🙏
Hi. Can’t access “more.” Was wondering if you could suggest a large sketch book similar to the one you have but maybe a little larger. Thank you so much.❤
Hi - for a larger sketchbook, I like these 9"x12" mixed media sketchbooks: amzn.to/4cK0rai I also have other sketchbooks and other favorite supplies on my website here: www.jackieschomburg.com/favorite-supplies🤗
Hello lovely. Loved the process. I noticed your view finder. I'm looking forward to getting something like that but not sure where. Did you buy it or did you make it?
Thanks! I am just using the mat board from a frame that I’m no longer using It’s either a cheap way to get one (since I already had the frame) or the most expensive way possible (previously purchasing the whole frame) 😂 You can buy mat board cut to various sizes at art supply and craft stores (Blick, Michael’s, etc). ❤️
So THAT'S what these little rubber bands are! My husband had found something on the street made of them and had just given it to me. I thought they would be great for mark making when painting but they are bent from being used. I wonder if I still have any bands from my kids braces....
@@jackieschomburgart Me too! LOLOL! I put them in some hot water and one flattened out. I am thinking they are worth the space they take up for a while! :D I'm wondering how thick the paint was that you put down on those bands? I know that makes a difference. ...and were they opaque?
I just use the regular amount of paint that I would use for any other pull. I typically use opaque paints with rubber bands, but I’ve also used transparent/semi-transparent paints ☺️
Hi Judith! I use kitchen parchment paper as my top layer. Works well for a day or two but I have to keep adding water on the bottom layers or it will dry out after that ❤️
This was such a treat to watch your intuitive, experimental style. Thank you for posting. YT algorithm put your video in my queue and now I’m a subscriber. Yay!
Without re-watching the video, I’m not sure 🤣 If it isn’t obvious why I did it, it might be a subtle change or not something you need to worry about 🤷♀️
@jackieschomburgart what brand of gloss medium? I just used Golden’s and it looks more clear than yours out of the bottle and it didn’t seem to stick super well and the paper wrinkled.
The paintings look nice. Thanks for sharing a new approach to painting abstracts. I am 80 years old and have not painted abstracts. Your paintings have given me a desire to give abstract painting a try.
Oh that’s so nice to hear - thank you! Yes, play around with your paints and give it a try sometime 🤗❤️

Oooooh! I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a Rothko in person - I’ll seek one out next time I’m at the Art Institute! Thanks! ❤️❤️❤️
I will try to use my 3x5 plate as a stamp! Love the idea and the look of it!
Yay! Let me know how it goes! ❤️

Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
I love the rubberbands as a resist! So fun!
Thanks - it’s one of my favorites for sure! ☺️
Love love love this, Jackie! I haven't used my gelli plate as a stamp yet, but I will give it a go now.
Yes, try it and let me know how it goes! ❤️
Just wandered over. I really like how you used your Gelli plate with the rubber bands. It made interesting shapes. I would try that. Thanks!
Love the final paintings especially the red/pink
Thank you! ❤️

Great suggestion! Thanks so much! ❤️❤️❤️
Great to see artists experimenting with new ideas I love mixed media art. The possibilities are endless. Great job❤
Thanks Mark! Endless possibilities, indeed! ❤️
These paintings are so lovely! Great idea using the small gelli plate. You’ve inspired me!
I'm so glad! ❤️❤️❤️

The frame that you used in the end, is that store bought or you made it?
Thank you, Fatma! The mat I used is from a store bought frame. Whenever glass breaks or something else happens, I always try to save the mat ☺️
Who makes the celadon green you use?
Blick makes one and Golden too :)
fun experiment. i like results. 😊 if i am allowed to ask, what do you use for top layer paper on wet pallet?

Really good ideas but can I suggest you speed up the pace a little
