Hard to articulate just how deeply I appreciate your videos, Mark. What I adore is your fluid, super-adaptable way of approaching all types of media on the Gel Plate. Just amazing!! You are such a master, Mark! This one is just jaw dropping; really. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your innovations coupled with your always inspirational abilities as an artist!!!
What a lovely message, thank you. it's become a kind of addiction working out ways to adapt techniques and explore news areas with the gel plate!!! Really glad videos are useful : )
Another awesome art piece, so much work but it really paid off! I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again, you are a master and I don’t know how your channel hasn’t blown up! You never fail to inspire and I’m not even an artist. Just watching you work, your creativity inspires me to be creative in my own way. Thank you for these wonderful videos!
Mark, wondering if you ever jump the puddle and come to the U.S.? I will happily & eagerly set up workshops etc. for you here in Tucson, Arizona if so. We have a guest suite!! Bring your wife!!
I love this technique. It reminds me of pulling the print off of newspapers and comic books with silly putty when I was a kid. I bet that old comic books would probably work well with this technique as well.
Excellent! I also discovered by accident long ago,what old newspapers can do on gel plate, but never realized how to benefit from this discovery. You are such an inspiring artist, thanks for sharing!
I can’t thank you enough for everything you share! I love your creative experiments, your different techniques and your curiosity about it all!! I am so into what you are doing in your videos, I even find myself holding my breath with excitement every time you lift your gel plate to discover what you’ve created! Your videos are a joy to watch and follow! Inspiring!🌸
Fascinating technique. I had a summer job working for my Grandfather at a newspaper in the early 1970’s. He was the press operator. I came home covered in newsprint ink. I wish I knew then what you showed me now…. lol Thanks for the video. I love your work.
A very interesting technique to build textures, using old newsprint. I didn't really understand the movie "No Country for Old Men", almost too dark for me. But I do admire anyone who can write and also anyone who can teach us how to take a gel plate and create fine art :)
You expand the idea of gel plate printing with every video. Thank you. I come from a family that saved newspapers from historic events, like the JFK assassination and the first moon landing. I’ve never known what to do with them, but now I do. I appreciate your sharing of your curiosity and creativity so much.
Thanks for another fascinating video! I've started going to art classes to get out more and make myself practice. Been doing portraits in acrylics and loving the challenge. Wishing you all the best for the festive season!
I just stumbled on by accident to your video and i thought this all was so interesting that I've watch several the last 2 days. I wont try these things but i think they are fabulous and you are a genius. Your talents is beyond others and your videos are not only interesting but enjoble to listen to plus watch, im hooked on them. Yours are the best since sliced cheese came along or the egg was discovered. 😅😅😅. Thanks for sharing your talents with us all. This video is my favorite so far.
Fantastic technique. Many thanks for sharing. I wish I still had copies of the New Musical Express from the 1970s, my hands used to be black every week after reading that. I shall have to go hunting.
Three words: A. Ma. Zing. Really wonderful idea for slowly building up randomized, abstracted textures as a way of articulating form. I really love the way the tones almost "wrap around" the volumes you've depicted in shading your drawing. Also, the visual compatibility of the drawn tones and the transferred ones is quite remarkable--probably partially a function of how faint each individual layer of transfer is, as well as the style you applied to this drawing. Once again, you've penetrated to the essence of a medium and developed a unique means of applying it to printmaking processes. I'm so glad you discovered the gel plate! It has inspired you to inspire the rest of us, and you've elevated the technical craft of the medium to apply to fine art, in the process. Keep it up!
Nice to see you doing tonal studies too. Have been playing with adding tone to some of the graphite transfers and it's working really well especially with charcoal or at least 9B graphite. Really enjoyed the portrait. You have a flair with capturing a good likeness and the old newspapers that can be used as transfers are especially exciting. Am finally finished with cards now, thank goodness! Back to chine collé. See you on RUclips.
Masterful. So much to learn from this video including flipping and pressing the gel plate. Tracing paper to for temporary mask--so useful. Will file this in my little brain and a good use will pop. As for your drawing skills....more than admirable. Aside: what i love about gel plate printing is how many techniques i can learn...a really applicable art education.
presumably using current day magazines could bring a similar effect but I get it the 'old newspapers are pretty special. What an incredible artist you are... soooo creative. Loved watching
Newsprint transfers onto gel plates??!! oh my goodness! what a wonderful use for these old papers. Saving this video for future use! Nice to discover more methods that don't break the bank
Genius...., Pure genius. I worked in the newspaper business years ago when the ink would like you mentioned would come off on your hands. That's when ink was ink. Then the industry went to soy ink which was more stable and wouldn't come off the printed page. If you can find old newspapers I'm going to guess they'd have to be from around mid 2000s and earlier. What I think might work if you want a darker, crisper transfer is to lightly "steam" the paper first. Holding the paper over a tea pot or a boiling pot of water to soak up some moisture without soaking it, would rejuvenate the ink for a more defined transfer. The only drawback I can see is that the paper might be slippery on the gel plate so you'd have to be careful not to drag it or slide it around creating smudge marks. Although that could be another way to get another sort of transfer to show "motion". Don't know if that makes sense. Anyway I'm always amazed watching you create 👍
Hey Rolf, thanks so much for the explanation, really interesting and your suggestion for a blur image makes perfect sense. With the price of energy I'll have to strategically time my experiments with tea making!!! Thanks again : )
I remember the days of filthy hands after handling newspapers. I love this video and the technique. I would love to have a go but I feel I have away to go before I can give it a go. Just fabulous. Thank you.
Hi Mark, unfortunately I have not been able to paint for the last few months. Today I had some time and watched a video from you again. You are such a great artist!!! Thank you so much for sharing this with everyone what new impressive ideas you always come up with:)). You deserve so many followers that you can do this full time!!! The way you briefly drew the portrait is already great art! Wow!!! I wish you and your family a merry, peaceful and relaxing Christmas, and a happy new year 2023. And for your followers, that you don't run out of ideas😄. Cheers, Gabi x
Hi Mark, I have started to follow you simply because you are a very amazing artist. You are generous, thoughtful, endlessly creative, versatile, adventurous and seem to top this off with being a downright good guy,. Not sure how you are able to be all this and not have the guys who make Gelli- Plates come beg you to become their ambassador. There are many creators but none as good as you, most are hobby- ists or craft people( No issues with this.) but very few are artists. You, you are definitely an artist and if you wanted to, you‘d be able to sell each piece you are making. Blown away by how consistently good you are. Much obliged for what you give and keep having fun. Hope your channel will become as popular as you deserve to be f that is what you‘d like f course. Big hugs.
Hi Sam, this is such a heartfelt and lovely message, thanks. I'm delighted you are getting so much from the videos and that I am coming across OK!!!! I chuckled at your comment about Gelli Plate makers, they haven't come knocking yet - maybe I should rattle their chains!!!! Hope you have a fun New Year and big hugs back : )
Had some good transfers with old magazins from 1923. With coppergravures in it. Funnily, the editions from 1926 did almost nothing. Probably they used different ink. Beautiful work again Mark and thanks for the video !!
Your technique is so creative! I have been a subscriber for approximately a year now and truly enjoy the variety of techniques you bring, your exploration, experimentation and your amazing teaching style make better artists of anyone who observes your works! Thank you for sharing your knowledge, passion and talent with us! 👨🎨🎨♥️
This is an incredible piece of artwork!!! And many of those pieces you call "just a sketchbook page" :), they totally look like incredible wholesome artworks to me!! I also think that many of your fun colourful collage gelli prints would definitely make very cool NFTs!! Which could become a cool alternative way to purchase a piece of your artwork, for those who would like to but are not able to get an original hard-copy one!
I just started getting interested in gel plate printing and find your videos very helpful. Your voice is very soothing to listen to and you have a great delivery. I truly appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Carry on!! 🙂
Very cool, wonder if these would work with old Life magazines from the 40's. A sweet old neighbor passed away and her family just threw them away. I rescued them and can't wait to try . Thanks for the idea, hoping to save the original images
Thanks to you, I learned today that I can make transfers without gel medium. I guess it's because the ink in the old newspaper? As always, you are a fantastic teacher and a generous artist. Greetings from your fan from Mexico.
i got a gel plate last year after seeing someone do something at a workshop. I only saw briefly, what it could do but really did not look into any techniques and I haven't used it at all. I looked up some instructional videos but really couldn't find anything that spoke to me in the way I like to create. I am so glad I stumbled up on your videos. I can't wait to dig out my gel plate and try it again
hey kiki, glad the vids have sparked a renewed interest. let me know how the new experiments go, best of luck and thanks for taking the time to comment - it means a lot to get feedback : )
Thank you so much for sharing what you come up with. It really blesses artists like me who look for ways to use the geliplate for one of a kind art. What a blessing
Gorgeous, I wish I could be so talented in drawing as you are. Going to look for some old newspapers to try this funny technic - keep going discover them for us 😉 thank you for sharing
Sooooo cool! You never cease to amaze me! You always take gel plates in new, exciting and creative directions. Thanks so much for always being willing to share so freely of your talents and processes with us. Inspiration runs rampant when I watch you work. Total genius!
Fascinating. I recently found out that old book pages transfer beautifully, but I used acrylic paint to do it. I will now try if it can be done with book pages without paint, and of course I will start looking for old magazines ;) Thanks for your inspirations Mark. Love your work.
Hi Brygia, so glad it was useful. I have a feeling the print in books may be a different process and a bit for permanent and stable than that on newspaper. Let me know how it goes!!!!
@@yeatesmakes I transferred the pages of the old books in principle as from magazines or laser printing. However, I was surprised to find that old books are easier to transfer than today's magazines. I think it's because of the ink that was used back then. I uploaded a video about it some time ago and experiment there a bit in front of the camera ;) With new books, the transfer did not work for me, unless that were books with glossy pages.
You are fascinating!!! I am always looking so forward to your videos, you always present something that I have never seen before or that was even never done before. Great, great, great ❤
Thank you for this tutorial, I just bought a plate of gel and I was going through old Paris match newspapers to find a photo for my first try but it's been at least two hours since I found anything that suited me. inspire, so it will be simpler!
Another awesome video, but your drawing skills just out of this world! Thanks for sharing this. Where's that hoarder guy with the wads of old newspaper when you need to find one. 😅
Thanks for sharing! You are really an artist, and I get inspired watching everything you show! Whish l had a bit of your drawing skills! 💯🙌So again, Thank you! ❤️🙏
Only just found your videos and have subscribed. I’ve not long ago started with a gel plate. At the moment it’s a love hate relationship 😂. Enjoy watching what you do, even though it’s far too advanced for me……maybe one day🥴
Hi Janet - glad to know you've subscribed and are enjoying the videos. I think we all go through the love hate thing with the gel plate - hang in there!!!! : )
Cheers Kathy, it's a really rewarding process. Seems to have gone down well so I'm thinking of making another video with some different applications of the technique : )
Love love love this! Thanks again! Now I have to go back and watch some of your carbon transfer videos for a refresher. Really want one of these big plates. Going to use some Christmas money to snag one from Amazon! I'm committed (invested) to gel plate printing! lol
This is an amazing print. Your experiments are so inspiring. Newspaper has a totally different meaning. I wonder if this would work with old books? Off to play 😀

Thanks Raxu, time to dig those papers out again : )
I just found him Ruth and I love watching him but I won't do anything, just enjoy his videos as I enjoy your pictures on fb. Great artist here.

The art of discovery ! It opens many doors to try everything and I was just wrapping presents with my attic’s newspaper
Loved this one I have some old paper so I’m definitely trying this one! Thanks again for a quality lesson!

What a treat when your videos are posted! The portrait is beautiful! Wonderful process.
Thank you for sharing. Another fantastic video. The list of things to try on my gel plate is increasing thanks to you !
A pleasure Eric, let me know how it goes : )
You keep surprising us! Never thought that old newspaper prints would work so well, hugs and thanks!

love the idea of just printing straight into the sketchbook lovely idea
Anything goes in your sketchbook : ) : )
Absolutely brilliant mate! Thanks so much for that. I'm always looking forward to seeing what you come up with next.

Brilliant idea, brillllllliant r exults 😊👀😊 Thanks so much for sharing Mark 😊

This is amazing! So many ideas running through my mind thanks to your showing us this technique!
I love your approach - I so appreciate the work you put into your videos. Thank you!
Wow! Very interesting…..now to find old newspapers….
Indeed, I've not got much left!!!!!
We would transfer color images from old comic strips in newspapers to flattened Silly Putty. I bet they would work on the Gelli.
More amazing artwork. Always thinking and creating something " outside the box". Fabulous outcome.👍💯🙂
Yep I definitely enjoyed all of that! Thanks 😊
Cheers Janet, I really enjoyed making this one : )

So amazing! Well done. You have so many new ideas. So much fun, so much to try. I look forward to it all!

Thanks for sharing this. Where's that hoarder guy with the wads of old newspaper when you need to find one. 😅
Ha ha! I need to track one of those hoarders down quick, I'm running out of papers!
Magnificent portrait. Very clever idea. Love love love!
Very exciting must go on a charity shop hunt , great video
Thanks for sharing! You are really an artist, and I get inspired watching everything you show! Whish l had a bit of your drawing skills! 💯🙌So again, Thank you! ❤️🙏
Your very talented and I love watching you create and share. Thank you 🙏🏽

Wow! It came out really good.
Amazing!!! I find this incredibly inspiring. A lot of work, but it's worth it. Thank you so much! God bless
Love the plug & pilon composition ❤
This is amazing! So Creative!
Love your videos, you are fantastic artist all round! He turned out so well!
thanks for sharing this amazing process
This is a spectacular technique and your work is amazing. Thanks for sharing the process.
Love your creativity Thanks for the tips i hope to use very soon!
Only just found your videos and have subscribed. I’ve not long ago started with a gel plate. At the moment it’s a love hate relationship 😂. Enjoy watching what you do, even though it’s far too advanced for me……maybe one day🥴
Hi Janet - glad to know you've subscribed and are enjoying the videos. I think we all go through the love hate thing with the gel plate - hang in there!!!! : )
Really like this, just brought some old paper yesterday but it's so old I'll feel bad tearing it up
Love this. I do a similar thing with text stamps and abstract rubber stamps direct to paper. Your technique is wonderful. Must get my gel plates out😊
Great work, thanks for sharing.
This was stellar, what a great lesson and technique. Totally amazing. I loved every minute of this. Thank you!
Cheers Kathy, it's a really rewarding process. Seems to have gone down well so I'm thinking of making another video with some different applications of the technique : )
Wonderful!- thankyou so much for sharing! 🙂
A pleasure Tricia, cheers for the comment : )
Brilliant! An amazing piece of art & really inspirational. Thank you for being so generous with your knowledge.
A pleasure to share - this one was a real challenge!!!
This is freaking fab🌻 - who knew ???
Love love love this! Thanks again! Now I have to go back and watch some of your carbon transfer videos for a refresher. Really want one of these big plates. Going to use some Christmas money to snag one from Amazon! I'm committed (invested) to gel plate printing! lol
Wow….love it 🧿🧿🧿🧿
This is an amazing print. Your experiments are so inspiring. Newspaper has a totally different meaning. I wonder if this would work with old books? Off to play 😀
This is awesome! What an incredible technique!
I really enjoyed making this one. Great to find a use for stuff that is rubbish to most folks!!!!
Brilliant and stunning!
This is beautiful art...
Wow! This is spectacular. I really enjoyed watching this process. I definately need to make more time to do more collaging.
Always great to see the process. Thank you.
Cheers : ) was a fun one to make
Interesting video thanks for sharing hope it works out for me 😊
I need to find me some old paper, that was great and if your not back before Christmas have a merry Christmas
