These are so lovely! I really like the idea of devoting a sketchbook to the exploration of one thing. It’s so nice to see the evolution of that subject, plus it takes some of the "what shall I paint" procrastination out of the equation!

You are the epitome of a loose, fun style. I want to get to this point some day. Breaking free from overworking and instead painting freely and faster is a dream goal. I get lost in the details and want to have joy in the expression instead. Thank you for a lovely sketchbook tour. I just found your profile the other day and am truly inspired.

"How flippin' luminous!" 🤣 I love your reaction to the materials, and quite enjoy having you in my background while I work!! You're one of my favourite artists and teachers 🩵

Thank you for sharing these beautiful pieces from sketchbook Ohn mar. I'm so inspired, and I'm going to start a vibrant sunset sketchbook inspired by yours.

wow! I am going to use your recommendation to my sketchbooks!, thanks!,

P.S. I signed up on Skillshare and am thoroughly enjoying your class and learning so much in the practice. THANKS

I really enjoyed this video. Thanks so much!

This was so beautiful and my heart just jumped with joy at all the vibrancy and movement and color. Thank you so much for sharing this process of sunsets.

Just did this fun technique with acrylic fluid paints - so much fun!! Thank you Ohn Mar!

I can’t wait to try my geli plate this way. What an inspiration you are to try new things and loosen up in the process of creating. Beautiful work as always.

Love these! Always enjoy hearing your take on things. And actually the two at the beginning that you thought were "muddy" were some of my favorites. That ship 🥰

... and now Shuttle Arts has a pastel set of tempera sticks ...😛

Have you read the book The Artists Way? It has pretty much the same philosophy. I’m going through it now and it’s helping me a lot to free myself from those thoughts

Thank you for this video!

Loved it

This is wonderful!

What a great experience. Your sketches are beautiful.

what incredible textures ☺☺

Thank you from Quebec! I love your work!

Great video Ohn Mar. I enjoyed seeing your process of gelly printing your sketchbook pages. I look forward to the video of the whole Edinburgh sketchbook.

This may be the perfect solution to the blank page conundrum. I’ve not used a Gelli plate this way, but I’m certainly inspired!

This was so relaxing to watch. I didn't know you used to be a Printmaker. 🙌

This is so cool! ❤

I always love your excitement! You're fun to listen to. I have tried the paint sticks on more than one occasion in the past and hated them. Just do not get along. But I know other people love them so...🤷🏼‍♀️

Thank you. I have just begun experimenting with a gelli plate. I will have to add some to a sketchbook like you did.

Thank you so much for this inspiring video! I found out about you from Jackie Hernandez, who used this video as her inspiration. Your gift for shape and color is wonderful, I’m going to try this…love the homes and birds that you did as well as the people. Drawing en plein air is a comfortable process for an art lover and maker 👌

This was AMAZING! LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS! can’t wait to get my gelli plate out and try it!

I have always loved those textures in your paintings, but when I've tried to paint directly in my sketchbook, I think about it too much. But the gelli plate definitely makes it very random. I'll have to try it!

Loved your backgrounds and seeing how they enhanced your sketches. I just got back a few weeks ago from a visit to Scotland -- loved it!

Love all your videos, Ohn Mar, and also very much enjoy your tutorials on Skillshare, too. Sorry to be a bit picky, but today I did the find the music overly loud and I could not you hear what you were saying hardly at all. Using the Gelli plate as you did here was quite unusual and very interesting for using as backgrounds as you showed us. I love the gel press plate and you have inspired me to get mine out from the drawer and have a play again ! Enjoy Edinburgh!! 🤗🤗

I enjoyed trying this out today. Thanks for your demo!

I use a gelli plate for surface design on my ceramics and for collage papers, but I never thought about applying it directly to a sketchbook page! I especially love the idea of dedicating one sketchbook to it. Thank you for sharing! (By the way: when I use a new gelli plate, I have to apply cornstarch to it to "prime" it to get rid of that water repellent effect-- just sharing in case that helps someone! It will eventually build up a layer of paint and become "seasoned," regardless. I find that gelli plates get better the longer you have them/the more you print on them.)

I enjoyed this video so much! Incredibly inspiring!

Ohn Mar, this is so, so creatively stimulating. I want to rush to pull out my gelli plate right now. I have so many sketchbooks given to me, sketchbooks of all sizes. Now I know how to approach using them.

This made me so excited to finally jump on the Gelli Plate and create some fun textures in my sketchbook! 🙂

Ooohhhh gelli plate looks fun! ✨

I was *just* researching gelli plates - what timing! Thanks for sharing!

The pure joy makes me so happy :) what an absolute joy to watch you work this way. You are truly in your element. Your sketchbook is so lovely and thank you for sharing your joy for creating and this fun technique.

Seeing your joy while playing is so contagious! I use my gelli plate to make collage paper, which I use to make journal covers. The gelli plate is so much fun! (I recently uploaded a process video on my channel)

Ohn Mar, I always find your videos so inspiring. I have been slowly working my way through a sketchbook, in which I used your idea of pre-colouring the page. I’m loving it….although I am somewhat cheating by looking through and choosing the page which I think best suits the subject. I have bought some lino squares and want to get into printing…I really love some of the marks and textures that you can get….looking forward to you Edinburgh sketchbook tour 😊

I love love your style, thank you for showing us part of your unique process ❤

I had no idea you could use gouache on a gelli plate! Thanks, Ohn Mar! Can’t wait til the sun rises to dive in!

I love using these to transfer charcoal drawings. Love them

Very interesting way to add background to your sketches. I love it.

Hihi, someone had her inner child activated and looooots of fun playing around with all the colours. I love it. And now I need to have a gelly thing too... ❤

So many beautiful textures, love it! I don't have a geli plate, but it's already on my wishlist 🤗

Wonderful spontaneous backgrounds! So inspiring!

Thank you very interesting. I just wanted to say that some parts where the music is too loud are difficult to understand for me.

Was nice to see you in Koosje's social media content 😊. I look forward to hearing about your experiences in Edinburgh (where I was born, and went to Art College). I'm about to treat myself to a Gelli plate and I'm enjoying seeing how other people use them. (I used to be a commercial screen printer, so a return to printing for me too)

Thankyou so much! You’ve given me lots of great ideas. I’ve not used my gelliplate like this. Can’t wait to play!!
