Mixed Media Art: Gelli Plate Printing - Abstract Portraits
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- In this video, I am demonstrating how to paint a basic face using the gelli plate. I feel like it is a painless way to begin creating a simple portrait--really taking the pressure off. The goal is not perfection but to stay loose and open to possibilities through the process of repetition. Have fun and let me know if you give it a try.
If you have any thoughts, questions, or comments I'd love to hear them. And if you enjoyed this video please like and subscribe. Thanks so much for watching.

Let the portrait dry thoroughly and then cover with another layer of color that youbrayer on. Great idea!
Thanks Nancy! I appreciate that tip!
Just a tip for you, I can understand you like the 2 pul with the ref.photo under the plate, but you can use matte medium to lift it and there will be no background colour.
Thanks so much for that tip Lisbeth! I'm obviously still learning and appreciate feedback from those of you who have better skills at the gelli plate than me.
Thank you for the creative inspiration! I have some ideas to play with.
I'll offer one lets the paint completely dry on the plate then cover with gel medium and then pull all the paint off. I love your try #3 on the 2nd go-round. Nice and loose. Very interesting
Thanks so much for watching! I appreciate your tip with the gel medium--I'll definitely give it a try.
This is an amazing idea! Quick suggestion.... When you added the grey and brayered it on top, before you remove the paper, wait 3-4 min then you will have a clean pull!!!
I also made this experience - even left it a bit longer than that. It should feel completely dry, before one removes the paper. 🥰
Thanks so much for that suggestion. So many have recommended that I leave the paper on longer--definitely will give that a try next time.
@@brittahansen8688 Thanks, that is good to know.
To pick up the ghost print, you can use matte medium.
@@lindacallaway2253 Thanks Linda--I appreciate that tip!
SO COOL‼️‼️‼️‼️
Glad you like it Lynn! Thanks for watching and letting me know.
Really appreciate getting all these cool 😎 inspirations 🥰 thank you 🙋♀️ greetings from Germany
Oh Katrin, I appreciate you saying that. I realize I'm not an expert at the gelli plate but want to share my creative process to encourage others.
Great videos - you encourage me to play & experiment 👏🤩😍
That is exactly why I make these videos!
🎉😂🎉Very interesting technique ,thank you so much for sharing 💝💘💖
Thanks Thania--I hope you give it a try!
What a FUNtabulous idea! Loving your tips like use black and white photo which would help me with color value. Who would have thought to put the pic under the plate? Obviously not me 😂......fun trying things that you are not sure how they will work either...
Thanks Pam--I hope you give it a try. Obviously, you can spend more time than I did and copy the image in more detail.
Hi Pam,this is a fantastic idea to start the momentum. Thanks for sharing your very interesting videos. 👍👍👍💙💜🤎
I appreciate you letting me know that you found the video helpful. I'm no pro at the gelli plate but definitely wanted to just share a variety of ways to use it.
Thank you for your wonderful energy and the beautiful inspiration 🤩
Thanks so much for your kind words Ulrike! I hope you find inspiration in your own creativity.

You need to leave the paper on slightly longer if you want a better result🤪
Thanks for that tip Reni! Clearly, I'm still learning.
I've watched a couple of your vids and not sure if you realize that you are not pulling the image. Watch some other vids to see how that works. You're missing an important step. Really cool idea to trace voer the image here!
Thanks for that tip. Clearly, I'm not that experienced with the gelli plate so receiving ideas and suggestions from viewers like you who are further along is very helpful.
@@pamhemmerling I think that your portraits would be less abstract if you did a standard pull. I really like the effect that you are getting---it is more interesting to me, as you state in your title, these are abstract portraits. Bravo!
@@micheleholliver6082 Thanks Michele! I think my style definitely leans much more toward abstract portraits.
Music distracting
I'm sorry you had a negative viewing experience Sonia. I'll admit it is hard to find free music that fits everyone's taste. That being said, you could mute the volume during those times so you are not distracted.
@@pamhemmerling I’m so sorry Pam… your content is amazing…. I do love it…
@@raggapuss No problem Sonia--I totally get it.
