Even though the process of laying down the plastic was a little difficult, I appreciate that you didn't skip over it. It's very honest and time-consuming and shows how the process is in reality. Others will not benefit from the flaws and disadvantages of what you are doing. And we learn so much from your experiences. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and ideas 🙏🤔👌
I am extremely delighted to have come across your page. Your monoprint and collaged prints turned out beautifully. I was instantly inspired to try the techniques you shared. Although I have found your channel a year later, thank you so much for sharing your creativity and knowledge. I have become a subscriber to your channel. 😊
Hello, I never thought of using a sharpie pen on my Gel Plate, and I'll have to try this. My favorite piece you pulled with the painterly textures with the white circles. I believe it's the one you liked as well. White on white. Love it. It was also neat to watch you layer the 3 different pieces too. Thanks for showing your risk taking and your process.
LOVE LOVE LOVE your work!
I loved all the prints made in this session! I would like you to show your brayer off sheets at the end of a session- I usually get some very nice brayer off sheets that I can then use in other projects and as collage papers. A suggestion that might help in setting those large stencils you’ve made onto the plate- try rolling them first onto a tube ( cardboard or wood) and then slowly rolling it onto the plate. This is a tip used by pastry cooks when rolling on the top crusts of pies smoothly. I am betting it will work here too.
Nice and good advice from a seasoned baker! Will try that.
The saying "like watching paint dry" is often used to express boredom. Not so here! The unapologetic real-time waiting was instructional (how long should I wait??). Each layer was beautiful. I was riveted, waiting with sounds of thunder and dripping faucet in the background only building the suspense...will that choice improve it or ruin it?! This is my kind of thriller! Thank you for sharing your experiments with us.
Thanks so much Laurel! I get put off by videos that are way too fast and the teaching value is lost in favor of a microscopic attention span. That's not how art is done in real life! Thanks for watching!
Wow thank you so much for this video, full to the brim with artistry and information. The spells of quietness and sounds of the studio space are a a joy. Paul Klee is one of my favourites that l studied at school. All the prints were lovely. Thanks again Fulton ❤........Alioban

Fabulous!❤ Thank you for inspiring me.😊
After a long day nothing is more satisfying than one of your videos. And then I will wake up with wonderful fresh ideas. Thank you for posting these. I can see by the quality that much work goes into each video. Much appreciated
Thanks so much Suzanne! Wonderful viewers like you make all the effort worth it!❤
I really like that you take inspiration from various artists and do your own version. It makes me want to see more of the artists work. We can learn so much from the Masters! I think we sometimes tend to just do our own thing, which has its own benefits, but the techniques we learn from the Masters can add a lot to our own work.
Thanks so much! Let's say it's my way of giving credit to where it's due and paying my respects.
Im just starting to use gel plates and I think you are an inspiration to me. I can't wait to have my own great ideas! And a bigger gel plate!
Fantastic experiments 😮❤
I absolutely love number one. And it looks great having the markers over it afterwards, it finishes it off.
J ai passé ma soirée a regarder la progression de vos impressions, merveilleux moment, ou j ai essayé de deviner la couleur que vous prendriez, et top on se rejoignait dans le choix.
Bref j adore ce que vous faites, et du coup a décidé l achat d une gel press. Gratitude
merci beaucoup et merci d'avoir regardé ! 💖💖🙏🏻🙏🏻💖💖
I like the complexity of the first print. Also that you drew some black lines to the edge, and added freehand gold lines. The level of experimentation was so interesting. Surprise, I also liked the collage on the last print!
Love your nod to Klee. You have an a fabulous sense of composition and design.
Breathtaking!
Fabriano paper seems to do a great job pulling up details. The 3rd one is dreamy! A fine tribute to Klee, thanks again for sharing the process.
Thank you for another inspirational video.
❤❤❤awesome❤❤thank you❤❤❤
You're really on a roll! I love the feel of the print that has the second use of the cheat sheet. The shimmer of the gold is yummy!
ArtWhisperer88 said, "I couldn't RESIST peeking!" He made a funny pun. 😀🤣
I enjoy the process and the honesty of failures and successes.
Great stuff. Thanks 🎉for
love that ghost print!!!!
I like it when you venture out and take risks. You’re really doing wonderful work. Plus your videos are so soothing. What’s not to like?
Superb!!!!
Thank you for this wonderful video! I just discovered your channel, and I plan to subscribe. 😊
I think this print has an Aboriginal feel to it. Love it and I really enjoy your videos. Thank you.
Nice work!
Absolutely beautiful! I’ve learned so much from your videos! I’ve only been printing for the last 2 weeks. I have found my passion. Thank you.
Thanks so much!
At first I watched you in fascination thinking that despite the enjoyment I get from your channel I would stick to my easel. However I have succumed and look forward to joining the gel team! Thank you Fulton.
1st timer...yr art statement resonates, as does yr calm deliberate practice...ty.
thanks so much!💖💖
Hi, Fulton! I wrote a reply to you the other day…didn’t get to you! Beloved…..these pulls, are eXTREMEly wonderful! So proud of you!🌿
Thanks as always Michele.
Cool stuff!
thanks for watching!
Super good idea! I believe your paint was too heavy in the spot that didn’t transfer. Maybe add a stencil in the blank area of your blue area that’s blank or add some scribbled writings or markings in a white or gold or silver to finish out your original lines. You can add a piece of fabric or wrinkled tissue paper YOUVE gel printed, words typed on a page beginning with D or O or whatever. Maybe the letters D and O put on in laser cut wood or tiny items glue on or sheet rock patch put on with D and O carved out; the possibilities are endless! Have fun! Hugs from Tennessee USA!
You got lots of good ideas! Thanks and thanks for watching!
Wow wow wow
thanks so much!
I really like the lost and found quality! I found this 50/50 mix of these two Nova mediums works well to extend the acrylics too - per Greg Simpkins: Slow dry matte liquid 217 and acrylic retarder 299.
This is one of my very favorite groups of prints I have watched you do , although there have been many before , your work inspires me. I loprintmaking , but can't afford a process requiring a press or the space for it. The gelli plate is a wonderful way for those of us who are in this situation. Your channel is an inspiration to those who are in this position & l really think it is a very freeing medium as well. Thank you for your generosity in showing your technique and process. I hope to become able to support your work in the near future.

Thanks so much and thanks for watching!
I feel guilty for finding the part where you fiddle with that stencil so amusing. Really...I was not laughing at YOU, but the struggle.
Also, when the paint leaks under the ripples, it is fine to leave it as-is, certainly.
I know however, that you like clean, hard edges as stated in your previous videos.
How about just wiping the paint on the plate a little with a damp cloth to clean it up before pulling? I do that often...sometimes with a cotton swab for small areas.
I alternatively wait for the design to dry on the plate and use cellophane tape to lift super-clean lines up off the edges of the design where the paint escaped its bounds.
I then often brayer on either matte or gloss gel medium or Mod Podge over the dried design and let it dry so it will all pull up with the next pull onto an already interesting previous print.
I let myself have a few days to watch this one. Watch a bit, then go away & think about it. Not so familiar with Klee (although his contemporary Kandinsky has always been one of my favorites), so I turned to MoMA for help. Also, I am becoming aware of an entity I’m calling “The Lost Prints.” These are the images which you create and I love, but which I let go because they are steps along the way. 🙏 & *Thanks*
LOL: “I couldn’t resist peeking.” 🎉
IMHO, the burnishing with copper has a stellar result 😮!
I really liked this video and subscribed! I enjoy watching you experiment and your outcomes are intriguing. I think that the thicker paint didn’t transfer, I was wondering if it was put back down, left a bit longer, and pressed down a bit more if it would then pick up. Thank you for your videos!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🧡💛
I bet you could lay that plastic stencil you made over a rolling pin or cylinder of some kind and lay it on that way. Like they do with pie crust.
you just gave me an idea! I will buy a rolling pin and experiment. if that doesn't work out I'll make cookies!
It is possible to see your painting, you certainly have a web site. thank you sir
It's artwhisperer88.com, thanks!
Thank you sooo much for sharing. How do you film your work. I hope you don't mind me asking.
Hi Elizabeth, thanks for watching! I use my Samsung A71 phone connected to an led floor lamp. The floor lamp is away from my work table so I avoid camera shake which plagues many RUclipsrs showing art. Please check out ruclips.net/video/-H6nT1RQiJ8/видео.html
@@artwhisperer88 thank you so much for your quick response and the informative video. I really appreciate it. You have really inspired me to explore the usage of my geli plate. Thank you sooo much. I am from UK.
Beautiful work. But can you explain how when you painted the 4 greens on top of the marker pens and left it to dry how does dry ink or acrylic pain come off onto the paper? I don't understand how it does that.
It's better that you try it yourself, it's better than any verbal explanation. I want my artist viewers to get their hands dirty 😁
The cutting out work was a bit tedious for you, Fulton. If you ever access some firmer large clear laminate sheets they could be useful.
I retrieved some big road project laminate maps from a bin once, not clear but useful underlay for art projects and perhaps templates.
As usual I follow your step by step process and at the pretty cool finale the thought occurs, how did he do that?
Mr. Ross, I enjoy your comments very much!
@@carolwunsch4546 Kind of you. The comments section is graced by a lively output of followers inspired by Fulton's practice.
Old X-ray sheets are great to make stencils with
I was wondering..
are your papers individual sheets or in pad form. The edges are beautiful
These are individual sheets 22 in. x 30 in. which fit well with the 16 in. x 20 in. large format gelli plate
Resistance is futile! The peek rules….. and the pull follows….
.....if I had a dollar for every time I peeked 😎
Love this one!!! I transferred graphite pencil work to my gelli plate but it is beyond me how to get it off?!?? I've made many pulls with paint but it's sill prominently there? Any ideas how to get graphite pencil off a gelli plate? thanks!
mineral oil or baby oil
@@cynthiakammann7368 really?!? Thanks…I’ll give it a shot!
give your plate a spa treatment with baby oil, your hands will love it too!
@@artwhisperer88 haha…I will, thank you. Calgon bath, take me away!
Definitely baby oil, if some little remains then maybe a dry wipe with oil rather than a wet one. Nearly everything comes off eventually, my worst was the black from a set of cheap oil pastels. Graphite will disappear in one clean given a little patience.
Does the heat from your hands have any impact on your pull, why not a barren for a smooth rub?
maybe it does! I'm a hands on guy.
I’m once again enjoying you push the boundaries of gelli printing into the realm of fine art with your bold experimentation.
As I watched the struggle with the stencil it occurred to me that maybe you could fold it in fourths from either lengthwise or width and then lay it on the edge, unfold one fold, smooth down, then the next one, smooth down and so on. Then I thought you might be able to roll it up onto a thick dowel and then unroll it by rolling the dowel up the plate. (If the paint was dry you could roll it back up that way as well. However when I was picturing the dangling pieces and the “floppiness” of the plastic I thought about interfacing that sewers use. It comes in various thicknesses as well as stiffness and comes as
iron on and also plain. I know a
lot of people use it to make there own stencils. You can buy it by the roll which is more economical than by the yard.
So I don’t think ironing onto plastic would work but you could either use a spray adhesive or you could transfer the design onto the interfacing.
Just a thought… or three or four. lol
Love, love, love that third pull- the one you said reminds you of Paul Klee! I admire him as well.
Thanks so much for your kind and helpful suggestions! As you can see i am learning as I go, not ashamed to show my clumsiness fumbling around with sheets of soft plastic! I was able to solve this problem by using the colored plastic folder dividers (school supplies) and cut them to the shapes I like. They are cheap, strong, washable and can be reused countless times. 👍🏻
The gelli pads are so expensive in the Netherlands
try to do some research, it pays to shop around.
How big is the jelli plate your using?
16 in. X 20 in. From dickblick.com
Is it ok?
as you wish!
This
Good evening!!!I stopped following you because l prepared a personal exhibition, l will send you a video on you tube with the opening of exhibition
Congratulations! Wishing you great success!
@@artwhisperer88 Thank you
I'm really enjoying your videos and your processes. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Where did you get such a large plate? I cannot find anything larger than a 12 x 14!
