Gel plate printing backgrounds Part 2
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Part 2 of a quick video series with tips and ideas for overlaying prints to 'expand' the area your gel plate can cover! You can then use backgrounds for drawing, painting, printing and image transfer onto. In this video I use layers again but with darker tones, heavier textures and richer colours to see where they lead me - better than starting with a blank page!
I truly hope you publish a book. Your ideas are amazing
Better get on to some publishers!!!
@@yeatesmakesabsoflippinlutely 👍 ✔️
Your precision work is impeccable in the detail of drawing the transmission pole and the cutting out of the Lino... really impressive WAW 😱👩🏻🎨
: ) Lovely compliment, thankyou
Your talent shines and I appreciate your thorough explanations in your videos!
Love the text look. Impressed you have tackled the electrical poles. They are intrusive on the environment yet intriguing in their engineering construction.
Cheers Chris, its weird how compelling things are that we'd maybe rather not have in the built environment!!!
The text with the oil pastels!!! Genius!! I love putting text elements and this is the best way I've seen with the gelli plate. Brilliant! 👏👏👏👏
Hi Aino, yes, looks great! I guess the oil pastel restricts the size of font but I like oversized!!
Not sure if I missed what paints you like ? Love your video not pushing us to buy loads thank you xx
A mix of different acrylics - Daler Rowney, some real cheap stuff from a bargain art store, Liquitex, Pebeo...
Absolutely stunning! You are single handedly changing the face of how to work with a gel plate Sir!
Thanks very much. Lots of ideas and techniques in those 2 videos. Seeing beyond the boundaries of the gelli plate is a lightbulb moment for me. Love the art history references too. Thanks 🙏
: ) Glad someone noticed the reference, maybe I should stick a few more in!!! Glad you're enjoying the vids!
Thank you so much Mark, I really really enjoyed watching you creating these amazing and gorgeous print’s. Lot’s information for us all. I really really love ❤️ how the prints came out. Amazing. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
Cheers Mags, thanks for always leaving such encouraging comments, much appreciated : ) x
Thank you for passing on your wonderful ideas and methods for us to try.
A pleasure Pat, really : )
I am in awe of all you are sharing! Thank You so much!
: ) Thanks Karin
Thank you for sharing your art processes with us, you're an excellent teacher.
Very kind of you to comment, a pleasure to share and I hope you make something in response : ) : )
Thank you
Always get great ideas from your videos- thanks!
Thanks so much for sharing the “oversized” print technique. This eliminates the untidy border we sometimes get with gelli plates. 👍
I reckon an A1 sheet needs exploring, using my tiny 6 x 6 plate! That would be a challenge!
Brilliant. Both Parts 1 and 2 - I really do love your work. You make it look far easier than it is for some...me ; )
Love seeing what you come up with, thanks again.
A pleasure, cheers Gay
So appreciate your diverse skill set and that you share so many great ideas!Love your style-thank you for making great tutorials.
Thank you! What great techniques. So glad I found your channel!
A pleasure to share Dana : )
Whatever you touch becomes so so so beautiful.. thank you very much for the inspiration 🙏❤️😁🎶
Love the industrial look of this image. I've had this inner itch regarding precisely how to use gel press capabilities to achieve this type of feel, but hadn't gotten there, yet. Particularly appreciate the power pole content, and the way it works with this stronger background. I have shot scads (possibly several scads; I haven't precisely tallied recently) of power-line and related industrial photos, over the years. Most of them are languishing away on my computer. I'd already started thinking about how to use them in gel printing, mostly due to your image transfer videos. But there was always something missing in my conception of integrating them into a fully-resolved image. This video (in common with a number of your posts) wakes up new parts of my brain in thinking about those issues. Thanks so much for your work, and your generosity in sharing what you've learned!
A pleasure, really, you're more than welcome. : )
Yes, yes, yes! Love the free form creations and incorporating your sketchings.
So glad you enjoyed it Becky - gel plate mono prints give such a good surface to work on - drawing, lino, painting and the fact its waterproof due to acrylic is so useful : )
Wow loving this look with the patchy backgrounds really cool I love the one with the key on so awesome that would b a Great Wall piece for sure❤
So many fabulous tips and techniques!! Thank you so much!👏👏👏👏👍
Pleasure, loved making this video!
you make me want to draw on top of my geli prints! I'd never thought of that!
Draw all over them!!!
G'day from Australia 😊 Loving all your work, and love your uniqueness. You make it all look so interesting, and you teach so well. Thank you.
I have been using gel plates for the last two years, and am hooked. So much fun. I like to be different and try for something a bit more unique, also. I've experimented with many different mediums. Incredible fun.
Thanks for being an inspiration 👍
Cheers Jayna, hopefully you can make some of the techniques work for you : )
Thank you 😊 I particularly love the stamps and all the things you make to stamp a design onto the gel plate 👍
Love your art and the unique ways you work with the gelli plate. Awesome tip for writing text with crayons or oil pastels! Gotta try that.
Brilliant - I love using text in my Art so will be exploring that one further too!!
Beautiful lesson. Beautiful background/underdrawing. Beautiful drawing and lino cut. Heartfelt thanks.
Cheers Alice, a pleasure :) happy making
Wow! Your ideas are incredible. I am so excited to try everything. Thank you!
This is great Liz, music to my ears / eyes!!!
So many golden nuggets thank you ... and cheers from Australia 🐨 🐾
A pleasure : )
Yay! The volume is coming through loud and clear. 😊
Great! Sorry about that early video, hopefully the visuals were enough!
@@yeatesmakes It's all good. :)
So much inspiration in these 2 videos. Thanks.
Great news!
I LOVE your work. You work so fast that I don't quite get it all. I especially would like to see again the one with the old tape saying "good old days" and the one where you had the number "46" along with some other collage, they were beautiful, but I didn't quite get the process.......thanks
Love your ideas and techniques, I subscribed. Thank you!
Cheers for subscribing : ) so pleased you're getting something from channel : )
This series is taking me to much greater depths in creating and, just plain fun! Thank you.
A pleasure, glad you enjoyed : )
After all videos I’ve watched, you are truly THE gel pad master. Very useful info and great work!
Really kind Tim, thanks. Delighted the tips are useful : )
As ever....a wonderful time! Thanks for that.
: )
Absolutely Smashing !
Greetings from Australia .
Love you art and how you get there
I wish I could take art and you would be my prof!
Absolutely love watching your videos!
makes me happy : )
Thank you for all this wonderful inspiration! I like to make my own patterned tissue paper using plain white tissue (the kind you get in shoe boxes etc.). I print some opaque, but others I will print very lightly and leave some open spaces which allows me to play with transparence when I do collages. And if you "cut" the tissue paper with a fine, wet brush instead of scissors, it leaves a jagged edge which is then almost invisible once you've collaged your piece.
Sounds like we love doing similar things in art! So please the video was inspiring!
@@yeatesmakes Indeed! And that's why I'm so happy I came across your channel. Subscribed now :)
Thank you!
Love your work😍
: ) Thanks Loretta
Another great set of ideas and tips. I wonder about the coloured tissue though. I love using it for collage but now I make my own coloured tissues as the commercial stuff fades so quickly. I sometimes use the gel plate but I also use glass plates or sheets of plastic from old carrier bags etc - using the same piece over and over and not cleaning it. I use quite wet paint on the plastic and let it crease and mangle, then put it between boards and trap it beneath the sofa! When it's dry the plastic peels away easily.
Your techniques sound fascinating. Anywhere we can see your work?
Woohoo! You have made 1k subscribers ❤️❤️❤️🎉🎉🎉
: ) Cheers PArthure
Wonderful! Thank you. 😊
Fantastic ! Thanks❣️
Love the limo key. Have no idea how you made that
Do you teach? If not you should. Great content, love it. I think I saw you the other day… were you anywhere near the east coast of Yorkshire by any chance? If not your doppelgänger was out and about there. I nearly said hello but didn’t want to look foolish 🙃.
I wasn't in Yorkshire, maybe Brad Pitt was there filming, an easy mistake ; )
@@yeatesmakes ah yes, of course, I see the resemblance now… 🙃
Very inspiring work, again, love it ! You said "cheap" water-based printer's ink but all I could find in my art shop was very expensive and oil-based. Could you be a bit more specific please. Cheers
The brand i was using was 'Brian Clegg' water based block printing ink - available in UK on Ebay. Apologies, they are not actually that cheap! Been a while since i bough some and I think a lot of companies cashed in on home craft during the pandemic and hiked their prices. I think Essdee are a brand you can get in the US, if you are based there!!
@@yeatesmakes Thanks for such a swift and comprehensive reply. I'm based in France and just took a break to tell you about a good trick I just tried: glue-gun stencils. You can do lines, scribbles and shapes on waxproof paper, press it down with another sheet and leave to cool. Quick and fun to make and use. I'm discovering the joys of the gel plate too...
Another great helpful video - I am so glad I have discovered these. Ea,ky look forward to trying the oil and wax pastels as a resist
One question, is there a particular type of magazine page you are able to get words off of? I have not had luck getting the lettering to transfer to the gell plate.
Hi there. I find a thin, even layer of acrylic then, while it's wet, try text from a glossy magazine or any with shiny paper rather than newsprint. Don't press to hard and don't leave it on long! I think the science is all to do with the black toner needed for inks on shiny papers - must have a lot of oil in them which resists the acrylic - that's my guess anyway!!! Good luck, let me know if you're still struggling and I'll do a quick vid on it that might help.
This is so cool.
: ) cheers
You are so inspiring
: )
Love everything I've watched you demonstrate using a gel plate today! You are exceptionally talented. I would love to look at work that you perhaps offer for purchase via a website if you have one. It would also be great to know your name, too. I was a middle school art teacher for 34 years, and if I was still teaching, YOU would definitely be one of the artists I exposed my students to. Thank you for all of the wonderful ideas on how to expand what can be done with a gelli plate!
Such a lovely message Paula, thank you. I have website underway with e-shop thing so folks can buy. Taking time due to work, family, making vids etc. Won't be long though - there'll be some stuff you'll recognise from the channel plus other bits on there. I've done a fair bit of teaching so that's a lovely comment coming you were an art teacher. Much peace and luck : )
how do you do those so-straight lines freehand like that -- amazing! I love both of these pieces!
Amazing
: )
Well done u r amaaaaazing
: ) Cheers Avenger, and for all the lovely, encouraging comments you post!
Loving these videos. You transferred text with oil pastel and wax crayons. Anything else you know of that can be used for transfers on the gelplate?
Chinagraph / Grease pencil, Letraset, candles (in my next video!!!), melted wax applied to paper with tjanting... glad you're enjoying vids!
opened up some doors in my brain! Thank you One question...what were the pens you used for your line drawing?
'Uni-pin fine line' - water and fade proof. Came in a pack of five 2 light grey, 2 dark grey and one very fine black brush pen. Were half price at art shop so I grabbed 'em!!!
:) great ♡
Cheers Andrea : )
Great video, many thanks. Love script transfer…did you use acrylic paint or ink? Does it matter?
Acrylic paint. Haven't actually tried block printing ink on the gel plate - figured it would be a bit thick
Love this. Have watched it multiple times. Thanks!
