Small format Gelli plate printing with paper stencils amd collage

Making a colored background on 8 1/2 x 10 inch acid free cardstock paper with a Gelli plate. In this step by step demo I show how I create my image backgrounds. A Gelli plate is lots of fun to use and is readily available to anyone interested in making art on paper. www.gelliarts.com

Your instruction is extremely helpful. Your measured way of speaking makes it easy to think about what you're saying and to process it without missing anything. Thank you.

[@artwhisperer88]

Thanks so much!

[@chrisruss9861]

I always feel calm and attentive watching your process. A lot of other art video sites are disjointed and too fast, while wasting time on trivia and one is often left wondering how the latest click bait gimmick was really achieved. The Zen austerity of your small space may be the key. You enable viewers to reflect on how they may develop their own creative methods.

I am new to Gelli plate printing, and this was very, very helpful. Thank you!

[@Lola.1952]

You're really hitting a stride this week-really strong pieces!

[@susanfield2444]

As always, I am impressed by the painterly quality of your work. Bravo.

[@cheryl7476]

Your demonstrations are always a delight to watch and learn from. The subtle background is so relaxing also. Thank you for all you share with your knowledge of gel printing. Your pieces are always gorgeous and worthy of framing.

[@marjoart5193]

Thank you for sharing this abstract way of painting on your gelly plate series. I love the shapes and the color combinations. They are very expressive. I also like the callness in your videos. Hope to see more .🙏😃👍

[@artwhisperer88]

Thanks Marjo, I watch many other artists on You Tube and they talk so fast! I can't follow.

Just beautiful colors and layering.

[@susanasilva2737]

I like this small format. My hands are small and I don't have a big gelli plate like yours. These paper stencils are a very good idea. Thanks for share 📄💡🙏😊❤

[@carolwunsch4546]

These are wonderful. I love the idea of having a series of prints which share design elements.

As a painter, I relate very much to your beautiful gelli prints and I have just ordered my first gelli plate. Thank you for giving me such wonderful inspiration.

[@ChristineARose]

I've been thinking about making a baren type thingie. I'm thinking about covering a jar lid with crochet. *I'm always trying cover something with crochet lol. :)

[@artwhisperer88]

If it works don't knock it! I may get tired of using my bare hands and improvise with those plastic furniture mover disc thingies!

Thank you for this post. I am not very precise on registration but this would definitely work well without having to buy anything. I played with cut shapes and using your method of applying color over paper masks, and removing them before printing on another color. I LOVED IT! Thanks again!

[@mvswaaij]

Really great colors this session !!! I think it makes the image interesting when the masks touch each other (like in the piece with the grey background. Also, using the colors that are already in the print for collage is very strong. Best work up yo now ( imho). thanks for the video.

[@artwhisperer88]

Thanks Marijke! I owe you on the tip about using baby oil to clean the plate, it's great!

Thank you for the interesting video but most of all the tip about lining up the paper. I tried it and it worked a treat. I also made some lovely prints with my own onion rings and ripples and had some beautiful collage painted onion rings for future collage projects.

I am new (just found you this morning!) to your channel and had to stop the video and just thank you for your wonderful inspiration and talent. I am new to the gel plate as well and your words are of innumerable help. I went to your website and immediately sent a link to artist friends of mine. I live a an artist community (although I’m a retired jazz musician and composer) and visual art is giving me a second Spring in creativity. I look forward to more of your wonderful content. Again, many thanks. (I wish there was a stronger word! 😊)

[@susanedwards6026]

This is so helpful! Thank you. I wonder if it would be worth saving all those scraps from the onion rings and using those to make some prints too…

[@artwhisperer88]

good idea!

[@anitabaydoun3773]

What do you do with your prints? Do you use them as portions of collage or mixed media or display them as complete compositions? So many demonstrations on youtube of printmaking without any follow up. Would love to see the next step in the process, if there is one.

[@artwhisperer88]

they are for sale on artwhisperer88.com Most of the prints on this video have already been sold.

[@gothjones]

Ha! I've been wondering if you're eyeballing the center of the paper when you place it against the registration. Turns out you have been. Very impressive.

[@skeeterbug589]

Thank you - this was womderful

Your knowledge & use of colours are impressive. If you have colour selection/combos video/s for beginners can you share link pls. If not would you consider creating pls? Thoroughly enjoying, & being inspired by, your videos ... enough to prompt me to subscribe ❤

I don't teach color theory on my channel, i just use what I know works for me, i have been doing art for over 50 years. I rely on experience, not recipes or formulas. However here's a good video for beginners kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6fKdJ5-p8idb5I

[@Danielle-nz9tn]

Love the idea of making your own stencils. Especially if you like the bold graphic style, why not make your own rather than buy them? Seems pretty easy and they look really cool! Love how your prints turned out! Thanks for showing your whole process. Sometimes I see people wait for paint layers to dry (while layers are still on plate) before applying the background onto the plate. Do you ever do it that way? I find it a little more confusing and your way seems more straightforward, or at least easier for me to understand and visualize how it might turn out. Thanks again 😊

[@artwhisperer88]

Hi Danielle, there is no right or wrong way. Sometimes getting so hung up on procedures kills the joy of creating. Best to do test prints to see what works for you. It's never easy, but having fun while doing art is the whole point. Good luck with your projects!
