Froyle hello, hello!. You simply just make me smile and laugh and feel good. I do love the portraits with your stamps & stencils technique you showed us today. I am really glad you touched on the copyright issue and to have awareness around it. But most of all I like hearing your humor and the ways in which you create phenomenal collages. You must know what a natural & excellent teacher you are and how much fun you make everything. If you ever have the want to go back in to your vault of art, I'd love to see your early paintings and things that inspired you early in your art discoveries. Thanks for this video. As always, you're a blast and we had a great time.😊

[@FroyleArt]

So much fun!! Thanks for joining me, cheers Froyle

Your three tips were great. I am using too much paint! Have difficulty getting my images to transfer and doing my copies in b&w instead of color. Thanks so much! Now I need to look for the papers you use. I’m using watercolor paper. May be too tectured.

You are so right with the “hit or miss”- I’ve had some transfers turn out beautifully and others that just fail completely! It’s kind of fun to have the unpredictability of it. Thanks for sharing all this info, your art always looks so fun and your videos are great

[@lindacook3962]

Love your videos! A technique that works for me: when I flip the gelli plate and paper over, I peel the plate off of the paper and the paper doesn’t rip, regardless of the dryness of the paint. Give it a try and see how it works for you. Much love and appreciation for all that you do to inspire us.

Thank you so very much for being a good teacher. I’m just getting into this and you are getting me very addicted to Gelli printing. Love your artwork. I did not see in the description of what royalty free photographs you use or what website that you get them from could you please tell me thank you.

That will be an Atelier paint 👍🏼 cheers

Hi, for time zone conversion; probably redundant but I use technology, I use an ipad,, put in your country, time zone: to county or time zone: it comes up immediately.

[@terridaly1895]

I have been trying to do this for years and I have never gotten an image like that. When I pull the page off, there is literally nothing legible. You do a great job!

[@FroyleArt]

Thank you! 😘 Maybe you are using too much paint? Or try different magazines? Cheers

[@MarylynBroomhall]

I just set up notification on the IPad. Hope I don’t miss you. ❤

[@FroyleArt]

😘 It’s fun chatting! It’s just text but it’s still pretty cool! 👍🏼😘 cheers

[@melodine707]

What could be experimented with is that lively black and orange image. Not very contrast BUT we may be willing to fussy cut that model out and add a light background on the plate over the top of her. ❤

[@FroyleArt]

Yes that would work! So many possibilities! 😘 cheers

[@ginabadeaux9319]

great video ,yes i thought that copyright may be an issue,i paint my own faces but dont have a printer so not sure what i will try,i have 2 gelli plates so far nothing i made looks great ,i want to try it again,thank you

Hey Froyle, are you familiar with Yeates Makes? If not I think you might really enjoy his work on the gelli plate ❤

[@RevJoan]

Froyle, THANK YOU so much for addressing copyright! I see people all over the place pirating in-copyright magazine images for their art, selling it at art fairs or on-line, and who seem to think nothing of it. Either they don't know or, worse, don't care. There's a lot of "urban myths" out there about how much of an image you can use or how little you need to change it before calling it your own; these are FALSE. Please keep warning people; hopefully they will do the right thing and not try to make their reputation --and MONEY-- off of other people's work! Thanks again!

[@FroyleArt]

Cheers 😘

[@suzannekfoury4453]

When did you put on the copper? You did your texture on the lemon yellow- then where did the copper come in? Thank you!

[@FroyleArt]

Copper on & created texture, before pulling the print with the lemon 👍🏼 cheers

[@gruposensus4387]

Hello darling I'm from Brazil and new here ai your chanel . Please can you send to us the paper and ink do you use hete ? I'll try to find something similar here to use ! ❤ Thank you for your work and personality !

[@sarahhutchison8190]

Love love love these transfers. Even your not so successful ones. Thanks for addressing the copyright issue. That was one of my questions to ask. Which royalty free sites would you recommend?

Do you seal your pieces? Do yo keep your pieces separated from each other?

Sometimes I varnish them with a satin varnish, put a piece of baking paper between them! cheers

Will Harpers Bazaar work for image transfer

Most probably! But I haven't tried it, cheers

[@lillianmcclinton8866]

Once you finish with the process, how do you secure your pieces. Do you leave them outside. Do you put them in an envelop.

[@FroyleArt]

Secure them? Not sure what you mean? I keep them in a file in my collage paper drawer! Cheers

[@user-tu1cg4bh2u]

Oh, I just don't understand how you do it. I've tried everything. I did the printing of magazine pages, I did the printing of pages printed with a laser printer. And black and white, I ran it 2 times, color printing from 4 different high-quality stores, I printed it in a photo salon. I changed the paints, professional, ordered Amsterdam. I changed the thickness of the paint, thin, thicker. Nothing works, there is nothing left on the gel print, or small splashes of paint. I really want to learn how to do it! Close to despair... what is the magic? What other secret do you know?I don't understand what other work to do on mistakes. Please give me some advice 🙏🏻Please help me 🥲🥲🥲🙏🏻

[@FroyleArt]

I’m so sorry that it’s been so hard for you. I don’t know what else to suggest other than coming over for a private lesson 😆 I need to see what & how you are doing the process, we need hands on! 😍

[@joannasundquist8494]

What kind of paper would you use to print on if you print out your own photos?

Regular paper but it has to be a good quality colour laser print 👍🏼 cheers

[@elizabethpears307]

So is it legal to transfer images from magazines? Just wondering about copyright issues.

[@lisamendoza-rodriguez1968]

I could be wrong but I believe you can use the print in your art. I think that you wouldn’t be able to make copies of the prints.

[@FroyleArt]

You probably don't want to sell it if it is a straight transfer, different if it is only part of an artwork. The copyright of the original belongs to the magazine, cheers

[@leigh-annh2544]

Thank you so much Froyle. You’re an inspiration! Could you photocopy an image you really want to use, and have better success? I know there would still be copyright issues.

[@cyngailey7872]

Do you use opaque or transparent acrylic paints?

[@FroyleArt]

Today I used opaque, but I have tried both!! Cheers
