Great tutorial. Fascinating. Am I right in thinking that the dark areas of the original image only absorb some of the paint and so leave paint behind on the gel plate, but the lighter areas on the original are able to absorb all the ink from the gel plate. This would explain why the amount of paint to start with is critical.
I believe this would also works with your own photos, printed in very high contrast black and white, on a laser printer (an inkjet print runs when it gets wet).
Hi Lucy , it would be amazing if you write in description what products you use please . I’m an Australian and a beginner and find it hard to buy supplies here in Australia and overwhelming what to buy and need .. I love your tutorials . Thank you
Rhayn Willow in this video I used a braver roller, a Gelli plate, gesso and acrylic paint. The paint I used was from Riot. I am also in Australia. I ordered my Gelli plate from craftonline.
I love it so much. It was exciting to watch and I am definitely going to try. Thank you for sharing and its a great way to keep "arty" during the lock in! Stay safe and well L
Hi I'm a newbie! I'm loving your channel already. I've watched and tried to do this several times with no luck. I may try some better paint. I thought Nat geo pages would work but nothing . I will keep trying.
This is a great demo and so lovely to hear an Aussie voice!!! I’ve just started to use a new gelle pad so needing tips. My brayer leaves marks on the pad from the edges of the roller. I wondered if all brayers do that or whether I need another one. Thank you.
Love this technique! Does anyone know what the copyrights are when using these images? I will want to incorporate into my paintings, that I will sell and I'm thinking this will not be allowed :( Fine for playing and your own use, but I feel it will be a copyright issue.. Anyone have any thoughts? Thank you for sharing this! It's wonderful!
If you are using someone else's image and it only becomes a small part of your overall design (and not as the key focal element) it should fall under "fair use" in copyright terms.
If your paper starts to lift, it can be too much moisture. Your paint needs to be thinner . When I do thick pulls I use hot pressed watercolour paper. Do each layer thinner and give it enough time to dry. On the last pull the e it as long as you can. If the paper dries it is not likely to separate.
Can you tell me what was the black paint that you used? I thought I saw Golden brand but what was the all black bottle you used first. That paint worked amazingly! Awesome video!
I have tried pictures from national geografic and peints do not work with the acryls I have, I guess the texture of the painting as well as pigment will be the factors for success as well as the Jelly as I have tried on a plastic surface
The instructions with my Gelli plate say using glossy papers on the plate will damage it. I'm trying to print laser printer copies of my original photos from plain printer paper with this technique and the images are not transferring. I'm using a quality brand of acrylic paint, spreading it thin enough, and a hard brayer. Any suggestions?
What I'm I doing wrong, printed pictures of my grandkids, I used black paint, them when I lift my image off to reveal the bottom image to make my print, nothing is there. Everything lefts up on the print itself. Help
with me the transfer does not work, all the ink sticks to the paper but it leaves nothing on the plate... what am i doing wrong? I have artist acrylfareb and laser templates, it also does not work with magazine pages...😢
I think you mean using a glossy photo for this process. No it does not work. It is the process that printers use to print images and the texture of the paper they print on that makes it work. That’s why some magazines work Better than others.
I don't get it. I tried it with an illustration I printed with a laserprinter. Didn't work at all. I tried for an hour than got so frustrated I started to cry
It does not work with all lazer prints . I used magazine prints in this video. I have a class where I use laser prints. www.mixedmediabeyond.com/post/my-journey-mixed-media-project-with-lucy
@@lucysartstudio what u mean "it does not work with all laserprints ?" Oh, I would love to join your class but I'm from Europe so...can't u just give me some hints ? 😏
I've seen this work better if you let the image dry, then put a layer of wet paint over that, and then pull the print, but more paint than your one roll of gesso.
@@lucysartstudio Thanks Lucy! I will watch them. I actually thought I deleted this comment, but my wifi signal has been poor. I saw that you were doing that by the middle of the video, that's why I tried to delete it. Sorry, no offense intended!
Stunning results with the white paint! Thank you 🎉🎉
So happy to have found an Aussie person doing Art on here...love watching others but try to support our own where possible..Thankyou..🙂🇦🇺
pattie hillenberg thank you. I love teaching and making the videos :) check out my Facebook page. I am doing some zoom classes too.
Try Chrissy from Xrissart. She’s also from Australia.
Your technique with the white gesso pulled on kraft, is super! Really different and clever technique. ❤

This is amazing!!! I've never seen such great results using magazine pages!!!! Superb!
Probably the nicest and most individual videos I have seen on this subject. Thanks for sharing.
Aine Scannell thank you :)
What magic! literally open mouthed and can't wait to do it!!!!Thanks
I love love love this technique. I must purchase a gelli plate somewhere.
Just came upon you on RUclips and I just love the prints on Kraft paper, they look so good when the image is kind of splotchy! 💕🇨🇦
exciting! love it. haven't used my gelli plate in about a year, now wanna get right to it again. thank you for the inspiration!
Thank you for sharing your tips... Great description of what you're doing and why
really wonderful. love the kraft paper. I am going to try with tea stained paper... great video.
Thank you for making and sharing this video. I do hope you are safe and well in Australia. Much love and peace from Greenwich London UK
Karen Beeny thank you . We are safe where we are. It has been so horrible for so manyxx
Thank you so, so much...I've done my head in trying to think of ways to image transfer. I'd buy you a coffee if I could! Thanks!!!
Best demonstration I've seen so far ❤️
Camilla thank you
...Très beaux transferts d'images !!! Votre créativité est source d'inspiration et donc de bonheur!!! Merci pour votre partage!
2:30 is fantastic
I believe this would also works with your own photos, printed in very high contrast black and white, on a laser printer (an inkjet print runs when it gets wet).

Thanks! This is great information, most helpful.
Lucy those prints are awesome!!!
Thank you. They are truly fun to play with
Love your video. Clear and easy to follow.
What is it for brand u use and the coulors name 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Its so beutiful this
Great tips!

Julie Hooper You always get some ridge marks from the brayer. Try using lighter pressure when you roll. that may help
Hi, thank you for this video! Could you use the same picture more than once?
Brilliant! Thank you!
New subbie from Wallaroo SA love this technique My Gelli Press is in the post can’t wait ! tfs 🥰
You will have so much fun

If you are using someone else's image and it only becomes a small part of your overall design (and not as the key focal element) it should fall under "fair use" in copyright terms.
You can use images from a royalty free website. Then there is no issues for copyright.
You can download royalty free images onto a data stick and have it printed on glossy paper at your local print shop.
@@AlbredaWelde I think it would still be under copyright protection, as the design would be a derivative of the the original.
Cool! One question: Some of the paper often stick to the gell plate when I trye to pull it off. Why is that? Something with the paper I use?
If your paper starts to lift, it can be too much moisture. Your paint needs to be thinner . When I do thick pulls I use hot pressed watercolour paper. Do each layer thinner and give it enough time to dry. On the last pull the e it as long as you can. If the paper dries it is not likely to separate.
Hi Ma'am. Do you wait for the first image to dry up before you put a second layer of paint? Thank you🌹
Yes you do.
@@lucillecampeanu8878 Thank you, Ma'am.
Thank you for sharing 😊
Can you tell me what was the black paint that you used? I thought I saw Golden brand but what was the all black bottle you used first. That paint worked amazingly! Awesome video!
Kelly Ellinger it’s holcroft acrylic black. It’s an Australian brand
Art Shed Angel thanks for the quick response!
Fantastic 😍
Wow!!!
I realy like your video
Thank you, there is also a more recent one
I have tried pictures from national geografic and peints do not work with the acryls I have, I guess the texture of the painting as well as pigment will be the factors for success as well as the Jelly as I have tried on a plastic surface
No national geographic don’t work. Any acrylic seems to work, but the gelliplate is important
Question,why wouldn’t you use the gesso after every pull ?.
I love it.
Looks really amazing! Does this also work with prints from a laser printer?
I’ve been trying this for two days, nothing but frustration. Can you tell us EXACTLY what ink and paper you are using?
The instructions with my Gelli plate say using glossy papers on the plate will damage it. I'm trying to print laser printer copies of my original photos from plain printer paper with this technique and the images are not transferring. I'm using a quality brand of acrylic paint, spreading it thin enough, and a hard brayer. Any suggestions?

with me the transfer does not work, all the ink sticks to the paper but it leaves nothing on the plate... what am i doing wrong?
I have artist acrylfareb and laser templates, it also does not work with magazine pages...😢
Would this technique work with images printed on an inkjet printer (as opposed to magazine pages)?
Max Renn I have not tried this, but I think you would need to use a laser printer and gloss paper
Is there any reason you use Gesso rather than white paint?
You can use white paint. I like that gesso is very matt
Yo compre el gelli plate pero no sé porque no me transfiere la imagen de la revista, me podría ayudar? Son acrílicos especiales o que?
A mí me pasa igual, pero parece ser un secreto. Nadie explica porqué no se puede...
Can I use proper printing ink too?
Blacksheep Arts I have not tried proper inks, so please let me know how you go
WOW is all I can say.
Thank you
Would a photo on glossy paper work?
I think you mean using a glossy photo for this process. No it does not work. It is the process that printers use to print images and the texture of the paper they print on that makes it work. That’s why some magazines work Better than others.
👍👍👍💕💕💕🇩🇰
Love your videos, but you need to find a ways to keep your jelly plate from moving so much. Very distracting.
I don't get it. I tried it with an illustration I printed with a laserprinter. Didn't work at all. I tried for an hour than got so frustrated I started to cry

I can’t get them to do this ? Driving me nuts lol
I found out glossy only works. Try using the front covers and back of a Vogue or Bazaar magazine. I was only getting 2 good ones out of 7.
I've seen this work better if you let the image dry, then put a layer of wet paint over that, and then pull the print, but more paint than your one roll of gesso.
You can see that in later videos
