Well there’s the difference between the master and the novice - I would have been delighted with the first pull but the master knows to go forward to another level. Thanks so much for sharing your expertise.

[@MsToxicavenger]

Always love when you return to the masks. I love your single pull monoprints, too. Just love the masks so much.

[@shellysprunk1342]

Wow, Fulton. You've taken to the big plate like a duck to water! I love the first print. The marks look like shooting stars, or the movement of planets in the heavens. At first, when I saw you putting pastel colors over the black and mostly primary colors I thought " Uh-Oh..." . But this is so exceptional, and just beautiful. We wait for your videos you know. Thanks so much for sharing with us. ❤

[@lorilevan5359]

I came late to this video and I am glad that I didn't wait any longer! It was fun to see the stencils again and the off register print brought a few tears to my eyes it was so wonderful to see. I agree about the woodcut feel and the off registration works so well in a wonderful way! THANK YOU!!! 😍🥰💖

[@sheilamarkham1937]

Something I found helpful with seeing hidden stencils - shine a flashlight horizontally across the surface of the plate.

[@fultonsim2165]

Thanks!

Hi Fulton, I feel like I’m in an art class as I watch, hear and grasp concepts. This was beautiful and amazing. Divine intervention, no mistake at all Fulton, outstanding results. Thank you and hope you’re enjoying the weekend. 🙏🏻💫❤️❤️

[@carolwunsch4546]

I love looking at all these comments and seeing all of these talented people appreciating your work! So happy about it 🎉

The first stencil print is truly amazing! You will be famous. Thank you for being so generous and showing us every step.

[@r.k.2823]

I loved how the registration didn't match up. For that style with the multi layers and block-style print, that happy accident works and, in my opinion, works so well you should try to recreate it the next time you do that style.

[@clearfitness1954]

Oh artwhisperer!!!! I was not liking the first 2 layers but you knocked it out the park with the third layer!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@lindabrooks2050]

That first stencil print is absolutely striking!! Not that I don’t like the second one! Beautiful work as always.

Love the off registration it looks like a cast shadow

[@katherinenoggle6407]

Very cool! Your videos are always a breath of fresh air when everything else seems doom and gloom.

[@sharongiles7222]

Love this! Your layers and masking are masterly. Glad you brought the old stencils out to play.

[@patriziacathey605]

Suggestion for stencil and mask locations , take a photo ! Your pieces turned out so different than I expected . Beautiful !

[@user-nl2ex3zz2v]

Love the process with the stencils. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@ElleCoyote]

Great concept, and The dark bits showing through the light paint layer add a lot, as you said, sort of like a woodcut.

[@davidsillars3181]

I see what you mean about the silk screen similarity. Yes too messy for domestic practice! My kitchen wouldn't cope. Lovely results with that stencil technique.

[@ItsByKat]

These are great! The first one makes me think of cotton candy for some reason 🤷‍♀️ and has a few 8s. The second one made me catch my breath when you started to pull, and immediately gave me goosebumps as you turned over the paper. What a great way to end the weekend!

[@tamouse]

I am truly inspired. Thank you for being so willing to give more information than just the sort of raw techniques, but what makes it good art. I have much to aspire to; I just a 5x7 gelli plate a few weeks ago, and am learning how to use it. It's exciting tio find things to print with and what I can do with the paint on the plate. Each pull is like "what will I get this time?" - thanks to you, i feel this joy in experimentation 🩷

[@KateWordArt]

Wow, Fulton, that first print is really awesome, my sweet artist friend. You GO!!!

thank you very much I will try this. thank you very much for your answer and your sharing 🙏

[@user-zs7vr5ds4m]

Wow - I think it’s a stunner.

[@lads.7715]

when it comes to introducing your audience to paleolithic Mid-Century Monoprints, Harold Town springs to mind 😊 (BTW, that that white layered print is up there with anything by Klee or Miro),

[@clearfitness1954]

I cut the ends off of those plastic tubes when they're almost empty and then use a pallet knife to go in that plastic tube that's been cut open and grab up all that paint along the sides that you can't really squeeze out

[@deniseatkinson7510]

That large plate is intimidating. Like all things ‘all in good time’ and skill level that will improve. Maybe time for the really big brayer now! Mr.Art! Lovely works of art!

These are wonderful Fulton. I'm happy to see the stencils again. I like the slight misalignment of the first, such a cool print. The contrast of the second is also stunning. Great work, and thank you for sharing your knowledge......Alioban ❤

[@Nowletbe]

You created a masterpiece this time! Funny I was just watching a few of your earlier videos...now you are combining techniques..thanks for all the inspiration and greetings from Vancouver Island!

[@corinnesauzet-m]

I love what you do, you explain very well. However, I have a problem and would like to know how long you let the first layer dry before applying the second. For me, after placing the sheet on the second layer, after the exposure time when I lift the sheet, either it tears or the black remains stuck to the plate... and it's a failure. My paper is 200g. Thank you

[@artwhisperer88]

Hi Corrine, looks like your plate needs some conditioning with baby oil to cut down on the aggressive stickiness. Also try different times to wait, 5 minutes may be too long for you. You will need to experiment, but use less expensive papers like card stock. Please watch kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2fElJutaLOoo5I

[@susanasilva2737]

I'm glad you used your masks today. Do you think gelli printing would work in a canvas? Have you ever tried? If not, do you think you could do that experience and make a video to show us, the viewers? Thanks, Fulton 😊

[@artwhisperer88]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/poe2lKOum5qqq5I note: not too impressed by this, I prefer to use the gelli plate to print on paper, and possibly assemble a collage on a canvas panel instead.

[@deannahall2032]

I really love your Happy Accident with the stencil and mask print! What type of paper are you using on thiis jumbo plate? Bravo!!

[@fultonsim2165]

Richeson printmaking paper from Blick

[@deannahall2032]

@@fultonsim2165Fulton, that's interesting, I have purchased the Richeson printing paper in a smaller size and it doesn't seem to be the same paper, are the sheets you're using sold by the sheet? Mine was in a package of 25 or 50 sheets as I recall. The larger sheets seem heavier and have a slight sheen (or is that the camera, my eyes, or what?) Great fun to watch your process!!

[@deannahall2032]

@@fultonsim2165 I hope you didn't take offense to my comment about your print as a Happy Accident, rereading it makes me wonder if that was not the thing to say about the fact that you put the paper the opposite direction on the 2nd pull. I love how that turned out!!

[@artwhisperer88]

I must confess I bought a whole sh**load of Richeson because there is nothing more frustrating than running out of paper before filming! I paid about $200 for bulk quantity. ​@@deannahall2032

Don't be silly! You are one of my faves 😊

Hello ND thank you. Can you share where to get an 18 x 24 gel.plate? I only know of 16 x20 for large plate. Thanks

[@clearfitness1954]

How did brayer creat that texture on the first finished print? was it wet when rolling on paint?

[@artwhisperer88]

you have to try it firsthand

[@marthajacobo3519]

If one applies flowers and leaves, is it the same concept? very deep stuff!

[@artwhisperer88]

it all depends how you look at it. Flowers can be pretty objects but the are also technically reproductive organs of plants.

[@ArtIsNotAlwaysEasy]

Love the videos. BTW where do you get the paper? Blick or other sites?
