Fun with a Gelli Plate , paper stencils and 3 layers of color!

Continuation of a series of large format gelli prints with paper collage.
The result is a very painterly artwork.

Always I am amazed that this magical channel does not have thousands more followers. But look at your engagement! So many grateful enthusiastic people around the world. I’m one of the lucky ones.

No Jacki, I'm the one who is lucky! 😘

I recently bought a huge plate, this is so helpful. I love your work!!!

[@renialeksandrahagen9628]

Thank you for sharing your process. I learn so much from you and I am enjoying your artistic way of utilizing the gel plate. I will never 'go away' :)

[@artwhisperer88]

Thank you Reni! Viewers like you are the best!

Very nice video

[@artwhisperer88]

thanks for watching!

Nice fresh dynamic colours. The collage almost looked unnecessary but ultimately adds an interesting element, rather like two stories travelling in tandem on the one print.

Thanks Chris. I have an idea for my epitaph "Couldn't leave well enough alone."

Thank you! I am so glad that I found your channel. Your art and the way you present it have been a great blessing to me. I absolutely love the work and, not only that but the wonderful presentations. I have 2 questions if I may. Sometimes I see you place the masks on the plate and then charge the plate with paint. At other times you charge the plate with paint and then add the stencils. It seems that the result is the same. My second question: is the artwork for sale and where can I find it? I want to thank you again for gifting me with this channel. I honestly love your work and manner.

[@artwhisperer88]

when I am sure of the composition of the stencils I put them on top of the charged plate, when unsure I put them on the plate without the paint, so I can play around with them. For any questions about sales please email me at [e-mail]. Thanks so much for watching!

[@berthapoowrinkle]

Ooh I love the light blue! Can you do one that looks like tie dye or rainbow colors?

[@artwhisperer88]

will try that! Thanks for watching!

[@carolwunsch4546]

Superb. Seems very nautical to me. Those black circles are bumpers on the side of a boat. Composition and contrast are 🎉

[@allthumbs3792]

Really great mask patterns, love the colors too! Have you tried any metallic color acrylics? I have a couple of Pebeo Dyna colors that really add a different wow factor.

[@artwhisperer88]

I'll give that a try (waiting for a sale)

[@dianeoconnor8310]

What weight Somerset paper do you use, and have you tried soaking it before printing?

[@artwhisperer88]

I think its 250 gsm. No, soaking won't work for me, maybe if I do etching on a printing press. Here's a link www.jerrysartarama.com/paper/printmaking-paper/somerset-velvet-printmaking-papers

[@abstractrealmz]

Are you using open acrylics? I feel like I have to rush before the paint dries. Also when I roll the second layer I always pull off the under layer trying to roll the pull layer over it. It sticks to my brayer. Maybe it’s just my cheap paint.

[@artwhisperer88]

My trick is to actually dry the first layer completely before continuing. I even use a desk fan. Give it a shot!
