Sorry if you don't like the music. I can't fix it. This is one of 2 videos where the music was too loud. It is my most popular video. I took some of the comments to heart and stopped adding music. My views have dropped off and my revenue. So I will continue to use music in my videos. This is the last time I will talk about music. All I can say is if it bothers you that much on the videos that are proper volume, then don't watch. I don't understand people who feel the need to point out the negative. I try to live and let live and stay positive. I don't need the negative comments in my feed. I am aware of this on this video. No need to tell me. For those of you who have kindly tried to defend me, thank you very much.
Im still making mistakes because Ive got a mixture of acrylics and they have different drying times and opacity! I have some golden open acrylics which take longer to dry than others but they are lovely. Its when I tried fluid acrylics that its even more confusing. However I do love gelli printing and have got my mojo back after my painting stopped during covid. I never thought Id be so motivated and excited as my 80 th birthday approaches. Thank you Susan for your great videos.
I don't understand why so many people are complaining about the music. Her voice is much louder than the music, because she lowered the volume everytime she spoke. Her voice is clear and I understand every single word. The music between the explanations is beautiful and fits the art. ❤
@@SusanCliftonArtist For Goodness sake, they can just turn it down if they dont like it. it's no big deal! gosh when I dont like music I just turn it down. people can control it so don't worry about your music. your videos are awesome! so are you!
I don't have very good hearing nowadays so I do find music means I find it much more difficult to concentrate on the voice and it's important to hear what the artist says in this sort of tutorial. I guess if you have good hearing it's not so bad. Anyway, I'll keep persisting and maybe try just with subtitles.
I have been watching many videos and gel printing. I have to admit gel printing is driving me crazy but very addictive. This video I have to say in my opinion is one of the best thank you so much.
Terrific info!!! Thank you for the detailed explanation :-) Sadly, I side with those who think less music and less volume is Always better. I’m much more interested in your teaching than the back & forth of on/off music Keep up the good work!
I am brand new to jelly plate printing, and I’ve been having fun so far. I’ve watched tons of videos and I find that yours is one of the most informative and easy to follow. Many many videos on this do not explain the drying time which is so important. Thank you so much for sharing your talents. 😊
I prefer the one you least liked. Thanks for reviewing them all at the end. I hate when people don't do that. I don't know why people are complaining so much about the music.
Best video ever explaining gelli printing and layers! I have watched SO MANY videos but in my opinion none have been explained as well with very precise instructions. Thank you for your expertise and time.
This was a great informative video teaching about the layering. I never knew that there were translucent versus opaque acrylics. I thought they were all opaque. I will have to pay attention when I’m buying paints from now on.
I wish I had found your wonderful video sooner before I made all these messes, but of course now I can use them as backgrounds! You did an excellent job explaining and reminding about drying between layers. So, if I understand correctly, let it dry 4-5 minutes if you are going to put another layer of paint on top. Otherwise, pull wet, correct? I've had so many problems recently with paper sticking and tearing. Finally discovered that I needed to put mineral oil on my plate to refresh it, so now I'm ready to try your techniques! Thank you so much, Susan! And please don't let those "Karens" get to you! You are such a blessing to us!
Thank you so much for your tutorial it helped me understand geli printing a bit more before I embark on this journey, carry on doing what you do in anyway you choose too, there will always be someone that we cannot make happy in anything we do and that is ok, we are all on our own journey that doesn’t always come across as kind or grateful, but for all the thousands of us that are grateful for precious time you give to these videos ❤ 🙏🏻
Thanks a lot for your tutorial. I stayed away from gelliprinting because the most tutorials were not that convincing. Now I think time to give it a try.
WhenI tried the first time I didn't get it. Then I picked up again and after many tried I finally started to understand it. I noticed that other artists doing Gelli prints didn't explain it so I made this video. Give it a try again. I hope you will get hooked on it.
@ repelsteeltje I have no idea what you mean by “convincing” but there are literally dozens of enjoyable, helpful and inspiring FREE gel print videos on RUclips. Julie Fei-Fan Balzer/Balzer Designs, Drew Steinbrecher, Birgit Koopsen/Gelli Arts and Elizabeth St. Hillaire are a few.
I'm so glad I came across this vdo! You explain the process better than anyone I've watched before. I reasoned you have to 'think backwards' in the layers, but thinking that way only confused me. You word it really well: the first layer is what shows up best, and the last layer is the 'pull-up' layer. Yay! Also, I really like your use of ghost-prints. I only knew them as a second print. Now, I learned to actually CREATE ghost-prints, so they'll be functioning as the first layer! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for what you shared. "The first layer is what's going to show on top. It builds from there. Your last layer you might see very little of it, depending on the transparency of your paint." This helped me to understand perfectly! Never heard anyone describe the process like that and I couldn't get the order in my head. Because of that, I always expected something very different. Also this, "Don't forget. Dry a lot in between each layer, like at least 5 minutes." This helped a lot because it seems scary to allow any of the paint to dry so much.
I had trouble in the beginning as well. I just different understand it. Then it hit me. So I knew others would be having the same problems. Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much for the excellent instructional video. I've watch a lot of gel plate videos and this is by far one of the best! I love how you explain how the colors and opacity of the paint work for the print. Your style is much closer to what I would like to achieve. The music is not needed, but won't stop me from watching. Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you so much for this very clear explanation, I have watched this several times now until I felt that I really understood how layers work. I am so grateful!
Thank you, Susan, for this really excellent video tutorial. I can honestly say it is now one of my favourites and definitely one of the best I have watched . I loved it because of your gentle pace and wonderfully clear, simple and concise explanations . I have watched many, many gel plate tutorials and of course there are some fab videos available ... but I particularly enjoyed yours purely because of its simplicity. I am going to rewatch it and take notes. I also agree with some of the other comments about the music being unnecessary and distracting. You don't need any music in the background in my opinion as we are very happy just to listen to you 🤗🤗 Wishing you every success and thanks again !! 🥳🥳🤗🤗
Usually my music is very low and not distracting. On two recent videos I had new equipment and when I did the playback I didn't hear it until it was live and watched on my Television. It is unfortunate but things sometimes happen and we need to improve going forward. I should make this a pinned comment. Thanks for the comment. I hope you still enjoyed the video.
Understood, Susan…..these ‘techy’ things happen and it’s all a new learning curve for everyone who makes these videos, I’m sure. It definitely did not spoil it for me as I absolutely loved the video and have shared it with a friend in Canada who is also just starting with the gel plate. Your clear and concise delivery was just perfect and I am going to rewatch it and take notes. The reason I enjoyed it so much is because of its simplicity and your clear manner of describing and explaining everything. Opacity / translucency of the different coloured paints is something that I hadn’t considered previously when using the gel plate. I knew about the first layer being the dominant colour … but didn’t think about the other points that you made….so very helpful !! Learning about techniques and layering can be complex, but the way you explain it has been very helpful to me as a ‘newbie’ and I have learned a lot. I will enjoy watching your other tutorials and thank you, once again 🤗🤗
I agree, one of the very best explanations I've come across for layered pulls, stencil vs. stamps, alternating transparent and opaque colors, etc, and I've watched a lot of videos 👏
Wow! This is so helpful. I'm just gathering supplies to start gel prints and you gave me soooo much to work with. I appreciate when you honestly say if you like something or you're disappointed with it AND you explain the reasons you were disappointed. The difference between your anticipation and the outcome. Excellent 🎶🎶🎶!!!
That's the thing with Gel Printing. You can try to plan but they don't always work out. And other times you think you're going to hate it and it comes out great. We just have to learn to play with it and accept the outcomes.
It was really great that you explained the layering so carefully. It is so true that people don't get how the layering works. I love the masks and stencils that you made, and I think most of those collage papers you did looked really cool!
@@SusanCliftonArtist I think you're right. I like the multiple layers in a single pull - you get (potentially!) a fabulous print faster, with lots of depth.
Omg so much complaining about the music. I hardly heard it because I was so interested in what Susan was doing and saying. The people that recommended CC we’re right on. There is usually a fix to every problem or complaint. Susan this was a very informative and creative video. Thank you.🦋🦋🦋
Thanks for coming to my defense. I had an issue back then with my old computer. And once you post the video you can't fix it. So I have 2 videos with complaints. I continue to use music in my new videos with no complaints.
If you're not one of those very sensitive people for whom music is a problem/distraction (particularly for those with hearing aids or a problem with sensory overload , e.g. autism), try to be the grown up in the room and refrain from criticising the sensitive people. Perhaps use a little sensitivity in comments. Thanks.
this definitely helped me understand the layering. i appreciate that you used a similar process each time; the repetition was helpful for understanding it! thank you!
I'm so happy to hear that my explanation is reaching people. It took me a while to understand it and I noticed that other artists that were creating gel plate videos were not explaining it. Thanks for watching.
Susan, I’m so glad I found your channel, you are amazing and I love you soft smooth voice , it really helps me learn. Your tone is soft and clear. Your gift to create is wonderful. Thanks for sharing your techniques and love for art with me.
I’m so glad I watched. Because Golden Teal is opaque, I never use it to pull layered prints, because I was sure it would obliterate the layers underneath. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this layering technique video. I have watched many and yours is concise and easy to follow. I love how all of these turned out. I’m a card maker and use die cuts to create with. I feel the prints I am not happy with can be used in many ways this way, nothing going to waste! Thank you again for sharing your time, skill and talent, I very much appreciate it/you.
Thank you for explaining to let it dry between layers other videos in RUclips dont explain that. My print turned out much better after i let laters dry between! I love the music its relaxing
Glad it helped! And thanks for the comment on the music. I get nasty comments about it and I'm trying to ignore. them. Because others do like it. And I like. So I'm keeping the music. Thanks for watching.
Hi Susan I wanted to tell you how much I love your channel. I just bought the gelle plate and have been trying to learn the techniques and you are amazing thank you so much. Your music is amazing as well makes me feel very relaxed which I find very helpful.so thank you again for your generosity. You have a new follower !!!
Love your explanations...I'm in my 50s and enjoy the music. I don't enjoy the entitlement type comments...not the same thing as constructive criticism. Looking forward to watching your videos. Thanks for all the effort.
I've decided I no longer need to respond to the music comments. I did too many times. I guess some people have never made a mistake. I like the music in the sped up sections. Because without it the video goes flat. I appreciate hearing from someone who understands what I'm trying to do. Thanks.
Terrific info!!! Thank you for the detailed explanation :-) Sadly, I side with those who think less music and less volume is Always better. I’m much more interested in your teaching than the back & forth of on/off music Keep up the good work
Excellent! Taught me a lot compared to other videos! You explained so much. I do get confused about wet or dry. Others say don't let it dry but I'm thinking because the last layer is wet, it all pulls up. Thank you!
Merci beaucoup Susan de vos explications si claires !! Cela fait des mois que j'essaye de comprendre la logique des couches, j'ai enfin la clef grâce à vous et à la notion de transparence et d'opacité !
So yes I come back every so often to review what I can't seem to get. You have great tutorials. I had trouble with layers with all kinds of paint but have found heavy body acrylic and it works great for me. I think it's a temp/humidity issue. I don't have to wait too long to dr y and layers look great. It's Brea Reese paint from Office Max and is pretty cheap. Thanks for all your great videos!
Thank you for this thorough explanation. I found a new gel plate at a thrift store & i've been determined to learn how to use it, but haven't had a lot of luck. I feel my "luck" is changing - going to try a new print. Thanks again. :)
The time stamps 9:10 and 21:10 were my favorites! The color mix of that beautiful green in 9:10 were beautiful!! and 21:10 was my favorite!!! As a watercolor mixed media artist who creates and sells alot of greeting cards but have yet to accomplish a large ,say a 14” x 20” painting. I love to include decoupage to my paintings or pencil sanding over stencils. I have just begun learning how to gel print. I have learned that you need to wait for most layers to dry before continuing. I’m curious if what you are doing on your videos are just for teaching or if you use those prints for specific crafts as well. I want to learn how to create a piece of art on canvas with gelli prints!! I’ve purchased an assortment of Amsterdam acrylic paints but see that you use golden. I have several golden and QOR products . Looks like I need to purchase some golden acrylics now, 🤪 . I have been an artist/crafter for 50 years now! Yes my mom started teaching me crafts at the age of 7. My dad actually build her ,her own craft supply room in our back yard! It was actually on our back porch so it was always covered. It was a 10’ x 10’ room! Just for supplies!!! Today she’s 84 and is making me a quilt for my electric twin bed! She’s amazing! I have Multiple Sclerosis and it has affected my left hand so I am now focusing on drawing and painting and selling all of my other craft supplies except of course anything that can produce a texture! lol . I’m looking forward to learning alot from you! God bless you and may your channel prosper ❣️
Great video! Super helpful showing the same 3 layer process multiple times. I also like that you even showed the things that you don’t like as well. & then showed us what you tried next to pivot. I learned a lot. Thanks so much!
Omg! I thought your title said "understanding lawyers" and I wasn't making the connection with gelli printing...obviously my eyes weren't working too well after 8 hrs of staring at a computer screen today at work! Take away--lawyers need to gelli print--I do! Great content. TFS
Thank you so much Susan, I really really enjoyed watching you Gelli printing. And yes it’s really really clear how the layers work. I really really love ❤️ all those print’s you created. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags ❤❤❤
This tutorial is very helpful in understanding the concept of layering and the importance of the opacity of the paint. I appreciated the comments regarding stencils, in particular the comments you make about the ones you've created. I have been trying to figure that out, as the commercially available stencils offer infinite possibilities...at a price.
Sorry if you don't like the music. I can't fix it. This is one of 2 videos where the music was too loud. It is my most popular video. I took some of the comments to heart and stopped adding music. My views have dropped off and my revenue. So I will continue to use music in my videos. This is the last time I will talk about music.

For those of you who have kindly tried to defend me, thank you very much.
In the past, in the present and I'm predicting the future as well. 😄
Danke schön ❤

The final pull is wet but let the paint dry on the paper before you pull. The dry time depends on the paint. So experiment.

Agreed on all points - including No Need for music :-)
I agree, one of the very best explanations I've come across for layered pulls, stencil vs. stamps, alternating transparent and opaque colors, etc, and I've watched a lot of videos 👏
Nice. To understand the opaque and transparant is still new for me.
The best way to understand is to play with the colors and make note of what is transparent and what is opaque.
Thank you. I love the examples. And the music too
Thanks for sharing your process
Thank you for explaining. Makes a lot more sense now.
You're welcome! I'm happy to help!

I’m so glad I watched. Because Golden Teal is opaque, I never use it to pull layered prints, because I was sure it would obliterate the layers underneath. Thank you!
Teal is my favorite
Love the dark textured one (the last one) where the stencils had a pattern in them. 🥰 Can’t wait to check out your other videos!

Thanks for watching.
Fantastic explanations. Been looking for someone to explain the drying procedures and importance of the colour choices. Beautiful work.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
I have just discovered gel printing and am fascinated by the process. Thanks for the inspiration.
You're welcome. It's lots of fun.
Awsome! Very informative as I am beginner and I appreciated how you broke down every step. Now I know to let paint dry in between layers! Thank you.😍
Keep in mind you could also do the reverse and add one layer at a time without waiting for it to dry. I prefer this method though.
Thank you! Your layering process is brilliant. I didn’t know the layers needed to dry so that was very helpful.
You are so welcome!
I loved your little "Disappointment" very much. Thanks for the nice session and explanation :)
Thanks for watching.
Great video. Very informative since i am in the beginning stages of my own Gelli printing/mixed media journey!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for reminding us to dry between layers!
You bet! You just need patience.
Thank you for explaining to let it dry between layers other videos in RUclips dont explain that. My print turned out much better after i let laters dry between! I love the music its relaxing
Glad it helped! And thanks for the comment on the music. I get nasty comments about it and I'm trying to ignore. them. Because others do like it. And I like. So I'm keeping the music. Thanks for watching.
Hi Susan I wanted to tell you how much I love your channel. I just bought the gelle plate and have been trying to learn the techniques and you are amazing thank you so much. Your music is amazing as well makes me feel very relaxed which I find very helpful.so thank you again for your generosity. You have a new follower !!!
Thank you so much. I'm a bit behind in my comment responses. Please forgive me.
This was helpful. Thanks for the teaching.
Thanks for watching.
LOVE this video.....and I learned so much. I will watch more of your tutorials!!!!Love the technique very much. You are GREAT.
Thanks for the feedback. I hope you enjoy the other videos.
You have just demystified layering on a gelli pate for me. Brilliant demonstration. Many thanks.
Thanks for letting me know it was helpful.
Love your explanations...I'm in my 50s and enjoy the music. I don't enjoy the entitlement type comments...not the same thing as constructive criticism. Looking forward to watching your videos. Thanks for all the effort.
I've decided I no longer need to respond to the music comments. I did too many times. I guess some people have never made a mistake. I like the music in the sped up sections. Because without it the video goes flat. I appreciate hearing from someone who understands what I'm trying to do. Thanks.
Terrific info!!! Thank you for the detailed explanation :-)
Sadly, I side with those who think less music and less volume is Always better. I’m much more interested in your teaching than the back & forth of on/off music
Keep up the good work
Thanks
The best lesson in using. Gelli plate Thank You
Thanks
Excellent! Taught me a lot compared to other videos! You explained so much. I do get confused about wet or dry. Others say don't let it dry but I'm thinking because the last layer is wet, it all pulls up. Thank you!
You're very welcome!
Merci beaucoup Susan de vos explications si claires !! Cela fait des mois que j'essaye de comprendre la logique des couches, j'ai enfin la clef grâce à vous et à la notion de transparence et d'opacité !
Super helpful. Thanks for explaining the rationale behind the layering process!
You're very welcome! Enjoy.
I like that yellow green one came out pretty!!
😎
So nice to FINALLY find someone who explains this clearly. And in more than 3 minutes.
Thank you!!!😊
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
Thanks!
Thanks you so much. Sorry I didn't thank you sooner. I was not notified. I really appreciate it so much.
Thank you. You really explain the process and I understand a lot better. ❣️
I hope it will help you make better prints. Thanks.
So yes I come back every so often to review what I can't seem to get. You have great tutorials. I had trouble with layers with all kinds of paint but have found heavy body acrylic and it works great for me. I think it's a temp/humidity issue. I don't have to wait too long to dr y and layers look great. It's Brea Reese paint from Office Max and is pretty cheap. Thanks for all your great videos!
Thanks for watching.
Good expanation on the reversal order of the layers once pulled.
Thanks. 😎
Thank you for this thorough explanation. I found a new gel plate at a thrift store & i've been determined to learn how to use it, but haven't had a lot of luck. I feel my "luck" is changing - going to try a new print. Thanks again. :)
Glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching.
Wow great tutorial. I will definitely try this
Great! Let me know how it goes.
Very nice and well explained. Thank you so much.
I'm happy it helps.
Thank you for experimenting with us, nice to see!
❤❤❤😎
Love your work And the video was perfect on the pacing . I really like the music And I love how you explain everything.
Glad you enjoyed it! Not everyone likes the music. UGH. As they say...you can't please everyone. Thanks for commenting.
Just came across this video and enjoyed it so much! Very clear and easy to understand each step of the process. Thank you!
Thanks for watching.
Best layering video on you tube. I followed your lead, made nice prints and then got a little creative on my own. I feel great!
Wow, thank you! That is good to hear.
Best explanation so far ! I get it !!!! Finally ! 🎉 thank you
I hope it helps you level up your work. I was thrilled when it finally made sense to me. Enjoy!

Enjoyed watching this video. Loved the results 😊
Thanks for watching.
Your videos are excellent!!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and talents!!! Lovely😉👏🏻👏🏻😃👍🏼
My pleasure 😊
It's extra helpful, especially since I’m prepping to use gel printing in my artwork.
Glad it was helpful! I'm also starting to use it in bigger artwork. Enjoy!
The time stamps 9:10 and 21:10 were my favorites! The color mix of that beautiful green in 9:10 were beautiful!! and 21:10 was my favorite!!!
As a watercolor mixed media artist who creates and sells alot of greeting cards but have yet to accomplish a large ,say a 14” x 20” painting. I love to include decoupage to my paintings or pencil sanding over stencils. I have just begun learning how to gel print. I have learned that you need to wait for most layers to dry before continuing. I’m curious if what you are doing on your videos are just for teaching or if you use those prints for specific crafts as well. I want to learn how to create a piece of art on canvas with gelli prints!! I’ve purchased an assortment of Amsterdam acrylic paints but see that you use golden. I have several golden and QOR products . Looks like I need to purchase some golden acrylics now, 🤪 . I have been an artist/crafter for 50 years now! Yes my mom started teaching me crafts at the age of 7. My dad actually build her ,her own craft supply room in our back yard! It was actually on our back porch so it was always covered. It was a 10’ x 10’ room! Just for supplies!!! Today she’s 84 and is making me a quilt for my electric twin bed! She’s amazing! I have Multiple Sclerosis and it has affected my left hand so I am now focusing on drawing and painting and selling all of my other craft supplies except of course anything that can produce a texture! lol . I’m looking forward to learning alot from you! God bless you and may your channel prosper ❣️
Sounds like art is therapeutic for you. Best of luck.
Beautiful layers! Thanks for the great information!
Thanks for watching 😎
this was great, thank you. i loved those "masks" you did with Cricut.
Glad you like them! I'm now selling masks and stencils in my shop. Finally! Each month I will be adding more. Thanks for watching.
This is a very informative video especially for those new to geli printing. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Loved the prints
Thanks for your kind words.
Thank you very much for explaining the process. I sometimes get confused!
Don't we all. It took me awhile to get it.
Brilliant! Thank you now I understand the layers
You’re welcome 😊
Brilliant video ❤
Thank you so much.
Great video! Super helpful showing the same 3 layer process multiple times. I also like that you even showed the things that you don’t like as well. & then showed us what you tried next to pivot. I learned a lot. Thanks so much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Perfect love the last one!!!
😎
Great video, thank you
Omg! I thought your title said "understanding lawyers" and I wasn't making the connection with gelli printing...obviously my eyes weren't working too well after 8 hrs of staring at a computer screen today at work! Take away--lawyers need to gelli print--I do! Great content. TFS
That’s fabulous
@ Marci L Understanding lawyers ;o) Thanks for the laugh! I misread titles all the time.
Very informative, thankyou
You are very welcome.
Thanks for another great video. The patience about letting it dry was helpful. I love the music, by the way.
Thanks. There has been no much negativity on this video because of the music. Can't please everyone. So I really appreciate to hear something nice.
Thx so much. Love that technique. They are gorgeous 😅
Thanks so much 😊
Thank you so much Susan, I really really enjoyed watching you Gelli printing. And yes it’s really really clear how the layers work. I really really love ❤️ all those print’s you created. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags ❤❤❤
Thanks for watching.
LOVE the music!!
Thank you! Me Too.
Great video. I really enjoyed your tutorial.
Thanks for watching.
This tutorial is very helpful in understanding the concept of layering and the importance of the opacity of the paint. I appreciated the comments regarding stencils, in particular the comments you make about the ones you've created. I have been trying to figure that out, as the commercially available stencils offer infinite possibilities...at a price.
You can hand cut stencils on Mylar or Tyvek paper. I like to use my Cricut to make stencils.
Great demos! Will revisit before I venture forth. Thanks for sharing. Love the last design and pull.
Try it then watch again. It hard to understand until you do it. Best of luck.
