Making your own stencils is part of the creation process, so I absolutely agree with you. Fabulous work as always. Thank you so much for sharing your technique, your creativity and your art. Your videos are gems.
You’re a man on a mission and funny even if you don’t realise it. Because in you total stepping into the unknown you ALWAYS seem so CALM . 😅 I love your videos and as I’ve said before you have become my inspiration. Ive been a printmaker for 30 years but you are the bravest 😊😉😅
Thanks so much and thanks for watching!
I totally agree in cutting your own ideas in stencils, that is a good lesson besides it is less expensive!
The first pull, almost feels like a metal! Cool!
I really enjoy your demonstrations and one of the things I love and admire the most is that you're not afraid to take chances and try something without knowing the outcome. I'm very encouraged to take risks and just go for it. I'm learning so much from you. Thank you!
Enjoyed whole multiple processes…and beautiful end results…thanks for sharing…three prints turned out excellent…
Wow some great work there Fulton, thanks as always for sharing the journey.....Alioban ❤
Great job “repairing” the last “messy” print. Turned out to be my favorite..
Wow, wow! Super video, all the pieces are inspirational. Thank you
Amazing work. Love it all. Very generous of you to show all the stages and your reflections on each process and result. And I loved your voice too. LOL! Thank you!!
Lots of wonderful lessons here. It was worth the “rewatch.”
Great video. I loved this. Prints are gorgeous and interesting
Just found your channel.....lovely work cant wait to see more I have liked and subscribed to show support for your channel best wishes and hugs from Scotland 🤗🙂
Interesting! I used to photograph light poles of torn posters, etc. Incredible “surfaces”!
This was great. I like all three. It’s hard to decide which one is my favorite. I enjoyed the long format of the video, too.
Thanks so much! I'm so glad I could sustain your interest for such a long stretch!
So much fun to watch, and great information and tips. So enjoyable. Thanks!
This is among my favorite videos of yours! Wow! I’m loving all the interest & details… so much texture & the layers are beautiful!! Thank you for your in-depth explanations… your patience is something I aspire to. Thank you!! ❤
Thanks so much Gina!
It’s like a gift that keeps on giving!
Very very VERY cool!!!
Love when you decide to just see what happens!
wow! a bumper instalment. a lot of of work for u but the results amply justified it. completely agree re doing own stencils. your own individuality is the greatest asset an artist can have. also the machine made stencils look exactly that. i have not used a gelliplate for a long time but always used hands rather than barren or brayer. it is just engaging more physically with the print. thx so much 4 this vid best r
Thanks as always Robert!
Colors are good in these. I like the metallics, which I usually do not. I bought a bunch of metallic acrylics, and have never been able to use them to my satisfaction. Some inspirations here, which I will try out.
Thanks! what a great video, all the Hallmarks of a thriller movie. I nearly fainted when the paper ripped. So much better than watching TV.
Thanks so much Carole! This video is especially for your enjoyment!
very beautiful results! i especially appreciated seeing how you modified the blurry print & how you brightened up just one section. i look forward to seeing your next video. i've learned a lot from you.
Really like how the shapes are getting more organic looking. Thumbs up!
Thanks so much Dale! I'm also inspired by the larger scale of your awesome canvases!
J'aime beaucoup ce que vous faites et j'apprécie tout particulièrement votre calme et vos explications simples et précises. Ce sont des moments de bonheur, merci.
Merci beaucoup et merci d'avoir regardé !
I just found your channel and I am so intrigued by this way of creating. I’ve learned a lot just by watching two videos. Wonderful! thank you. 🤗
thanks for watching! 💖💖🙏🏻🙏🏻
Love the texture it created!
Never mind my question about washing your stencils…you just answered it. You are brave washing all theses stencils!
They are a pain to do, but they work!
Love your lengthy videos!!! Never a dull moment and so intriguing to witness how the pulls progress to the final result. Kudos to you and thanks a million💯
Thanks so much Linda! I see that you love 8's like me! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for your videos. Very good explanations and background - inspiring and well done.
Thanks for watching! 🙏❤️
Your videos are so helpful. Thank you.
I love the "blurry". It happened because you used a paint brush and activated and actually spread the underpaint. If you use a brayer and work very quickly and thinly, then let dry completely, you will have that sharper image that you were looking for. Again, I hope I am not overstepping. Love your art!!!
No Carol, not overstepping at all! I appreciate any helpful tips. The advantage of making a mistake while being filmed is I can watch it over and over again! I never regret the "mistakes" because I learn from them.
True! It's a great tool. And yes, mistakes are the spawn of creativity! Or something like that. BTW, I didn't see any "mistakes", only steps along the way to quite amazing artwork! 😉 Thank you so much for sharing!
love what the metallic colours do 🤩
Thanks so much! 🙏🙏❤❤
In regards to the tearing, when you pull your "ghost" prints, a thinner layer of activating paint and longer drying time might be helpful. The problem is the paint is mostly dry, but paper is still wet. Some people let their "ghost " prints dry for hours. When both paint and paper are completely dry no tearing. I hope I'm not overstepping here. I love your art and love watching your videos! Quite inspirational!
Thanks for your kind input Carol! I've been hearing conflicting advice on drying times for the paper, but every scenario is worth a try, everyone's circumstances are different. Thanks for watching!
Watched the ArtProf and she soaks the paper first???
@@arabellahorwitz2622 Soaking paper is traditionally done with intaglio and drypoint, where the ink on a scratched plate is forced into the paper with a printing press. It is an entirely different printing method from gel printing.
What a fun way to move me on from my nature printing obsession. Thankyou so much for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Superb pull! love it!
Very cool, indeed😊
Thank you for mentioning cleaning stencils. Its a never ending chore for me. Im going to try CitroSolv on them next since it does such a great job on brayers and paint brushes. I will let you know how it works.
Love these so much! You are really cookin'! Love them all, but my favorite is/was the 3rd ghost print with the fluid medium. I'm partial to the more painterly, dreamy looking ones and especially the one with the leopard spots. But I also love the first print with the clear bright shapes. Can't wait to see what you do next! 👏♥
the texture is fabulous!!
Thanks so much!
The ghost pulls are beautiful, especially the last one it was lovely, I wonder if lightly misting the paper would help it to not tear, although I realise it may create further texture on the print . Experiment is wonderfully exciting. Look up on youtube a British fellow, his channel is Yeats makes, a different style from yours but he may give you further inspiration, and he also uses matte medium. Thank you for sharing and the all the final prints with the shapes came out terrific. Cheers!
Fantastic! I love these painterly results.
Thanks so much!
Grandioso!
You are phenomenal!
Thanks so much Annette!
So much to love in the monster trio! Good to see you try the colorless acrylic binder to lift the ghost print. A shame, but I think applying it thickly with the brush blurred your images. Just a suggestion but treat yourself to a 6-8" brayer and you'll cover your larger gel plate area more smoothly and quickly.
Time for some brayer shopping! I also think its high time for a baby oil treatment on the plates as they are getting too sticky!
agree, pretty cool! I would too! see how it ends!?
Love the use of the stencils, I am encouraged to make my own. Thank you, I’m glad I can watch your previous videos. I’m in awe.
Cooool!🎉🎉🎉
You have become my printing hero!!! Not afraid to push the envelope !!!!!❤❤❤
💖🙏💖🙏
Excellent video!
whoa, really surprising and spectacular results!
Thanks Don!
@@artwhisperer88 :)
Love the rectangular stencil u made… quite a good rescue job… overall some very interesting prints 🎉
i love those old walls and textures too
Hello Fulton . I’m Zan from Seaside. Thank you for sharing your art. It is beautiful!I jumped off the cliff and purchased a medium geli . Going to try it with watercolor as well because of you. I was inspired by the blurry painting too. Good luck with your channel! I’ll be back and buy you a cup of coffee.
Thanks so much!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 love all these "monster" prints. I particularly liked the salvaged blurry print -- the background complexity really stood out. I also enjoyed the experimentation on your part -- fearlessly forging into the unknown! Bravo and thank you for showing the process.
Thanks so much!
To prevent smears, I use packing tissue to cover the back of the print paper being sure to cover the exposed paint on the edge of the plate. Then burnish as usual with hand or barren.
PS - I don’t buy the packing tissue. I rescue it from packages. Also at Hobby Lobby and Home Goods they wrap purchases with big sheets of thin paper and will always give away a few sheets if you ask.
Love the backgrounds. A suggestion. Put the paint down and then place your mask. Less messy and you can go straight to print. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks but that won't do for me! I change my mind all the time, once the stencils are down on the wet paint it will be a big mess, so no thanks!
Thanks!
Thanks for your support!!
Fantastic work!
thanks so much for watching!
I found out that if you let the paper dry completely on the plate, it won't tear any more. My theory is that all the components of the paper have time to bind together again and the pull will just be fine...
I left mine till the next day unfortunately it stuck to the Gelli plate but I brayered a layer of paint let sit for a few minutes and pull it again hooray it worked. Geez so relieved 😅
I liked how you worked out the issues you had with the pull you liked least. Something I missed on your ghost prints were the hand drawn elements in your fist pull, I think the combination of the stencils and drawn marks work really well and somehow have the effect of unifying the whole print.
I love these large prints, but will never have those huge plates, I wonder if you ever tried using the smaller (8x10, 6x6, 5x5 etc) to work on large paper/ finished pieces.
I wonder if you conditioned your plates whether tearing would be less of a concern? Just a thought.
I loved the first and third prints, but unusually liked the first one best. I have watched a few of you videos and frequently prefer your first ghost! Great video!
As for the tearing issue, I find that treating the plates with mineral oil really helps.Thanks for watching!
Would it be possible to maybe lightly run the brayer with the same color of paint, on the print right after the pull. on the seam line here and there to break it up? Or even lightly with a paint brush, but the brayer would already have the paint at the ready. Just a thought that ran across my mind in a run by 😁
Next time I will try to abutt the plates more tightly together so there won't be a visible gap. 🙂
good morning. I really love what you do. Two questions; what is the size of your paper, the weight and the name of the manufacturer? Shores, Arches, printmaking paper? Thank you for your reply.

Thank you and good continuation
I really loved how you added a layer in the central area to punch up the contrast on the 2nd ghost print. In the third ghost print, I liked how the crisp edges of additional layer contrasts with the painterly layer below.
Could you tell us if you have soapy water in your tub, where you put your used stencils? Do you wash them to reuse them? Or do you reuse them with paint on them? Thank you as always.
here's my secret. I soak the reusable stencils in a kitty litter pan filled with dish detergent
and water and swish it around. It is too difficult and time consuming to clean them individually!
I would like to know what plate size did you put together to create this large of and image? These images are incredible and the size is impressive. Thank you Fulton.
this is a pair of 16 in. x 20 in. plates. Thanks for watching!
I use Golden matte medium (not flow) and apply a thin layer with a brayer and get really good results. Not messy at all. I LOVE YOUR WORK!!! Where can I purchase your prints?
please check out artwhisperer88.com
Such monster plates need a monster brayer.
Yes maybe!
I think the scotch tape makes the seam more obvious.
won't do that anymore!
Your prints are very fine. There must be someway to hide that seam. Maybe right after the pull, use your finger to rub extra paint over the mark made by the split. Of course that may be troublesome when you have as much as six pulls. Maybe not, you probably only have to do it for the top layer…
I wonder if a bead of silicone would seal the join?
it didn't work, and it made a mess!
You could try Golden Open acrylic paints that have a much longer working time or add retarder to regular paint when working on large pieces. Are you using two 16 x20 plates for this work?
yes
Are you using 2 separate gelli plates?
Yes.
Thank you for replying 🙏 I didn’t understand why you were trying this out? Exploring can be very interesting. Thank you for sharing
How about silicone that is used to stop sinks from leaking as the filler between plates?🤔
Ha ha! Yes, I tried it, what a mess. Not worth it. Having the seam is not an issue for me, it just becomes another graphic element.. Two part artworks are called diptychs.
@@artwhisperer88 cool! 🙂
Put those darn stencils directly into a tub of soapy water!11
I do that off camera. I like the residue, gives them strength of character!
❤❤❤
Hi m8
Hey mate! Always glad to hear from you!
@@artwhisperer88 thank you m8 😀
Your ability to create a composition with the seam covers the issue.
My mind wants a solution. What if you were to create your own gelatin and allow it to cool and thicken. It would setup quickly as it poured into the crack.
An ice-bed would chill the pan and your plates to help it along.
It may be too complicated.
Your curiosity makes me feel like I am in the room with you, feeling that anticipation in the pull. I always ask myself "what if?"
Your process has given me so many answers for moving forward with my own work. Thank you.
