I don’t think you ever have to worry about your videos becoming too repetitive! Partly because your brain seems to be filled with an unending supply of truly revolutionary and unexpected printmaking ideas, and partly because even if you show us the same technique across multiple videos, there will always be some fascinating discovery, accident, or insight that you bring to your process!

I love the character of the lines The Tjanting in the print. Sometimes sharp, some fuzzy. Like the lines are somewhat 3D here and there. From experience I know that working with a Tjanting is not easy without getting splatters. I worked with Batikwax on fabric using potatostamps and brushes . Great invention Mark, beautiful prints !! Thanks for the video.

Once again you create amazing art experimenting and pushing the envelope. You inspire so many to just see what will happen without worrying about perfection, even though you do pretty much accomplish fantastic end results in your artistic explorations. I believe that you have practiced and explored so much in your creativity that you do make it look easy, however, these videos really show that your experiment today has thousands of hours/years in the making to produce your art now. When someone asks you how long does it take to create a painting or print....you can safely answer... my life up until today! Thank you so much for so generously sharing your gift of art and the joy of creating the same. You are a treasure.

I agree about the impact of the simplicity of the second print, but I was so struck by the way you ripped that yellow background bit in the first one. Really, in however many videos you have done on using the gel plate, you have shown us more than all the other KZbin videos combined. If you ever decide to do an online course, sign me up!

@@emilyrosenzweig9946 the artist mixed a drop of dish soap into the colour on her palette at one point... At another she put a couple of drops directly onto the plate. She wasn't using a brayer but I imagine that you could... She seemed to be using watercolour specifically for the more painterly effect. Since soap is to reduces the surface tension of water, it makes sense that it would have a useful effect on water-based media. I suspect that a little goes a long way.

@Xenopticon
@Xenopticon 2 жыл бұрын
Great idea! - How was the durability of the wax? Was cracking a problem? Did any start to flake off? Absorbency seems to be the key to these resist techniques (including laser print/photocopy transfers) working over a number of repetitions. It's not likely the resist area that wears out so quickly, but the fact that the background area-the area that attracts and removes the acrylic paint-gets coated with acrylic paint and ceases being absorbent or attractive to more paint. This is another time light sponging between prints might extend the life of the subtractive wax plate. This might be especially true if you could think of a way of making the base substrate of the plate more durable, while providing the necessary absorbancy. Gesso, maybe? Clear gesso? Watercolor ground? I've never worked with a tjanting. But if I recall correctly, the tool is built the way it is-with the reservoir “up handle” of the spout-for the purpose of letting you tilt it back (ie, nozzle higher, handle lower) in order to halt the flow of wax. Don't know if this is practical for the type of drawing you do, or how much practice is required to get it to function properly. But I'm curious to know how well this works, and whether the catch paper is still necessary if you handle the tjanting this way. ...Or was this already what you were doing? Masking tape cleanup-Why have I not thought of using this to refine a gel plate image?!?!?! I use packing tape to clean up my work surfaces and palettes and even a dirty gel plate, all the time. Small thing, but thanks for showing this! There are ways in which I really like the final, large print. I think the problem with it is that the newspaper's a single, large piece, with a semi-regular, very recognizable pattern. It ends up dominating. For all that your wax lines are thicker and the application looser than usual, in this drawing, those lines (and the colors of your painted fills) retain a certain delicacy or sensitivity, which is easily overwhelmed. If you were to collage over the newspaper with other pieces, veil parts with deli paper, and/or distress and decollage some of it, I think that the overall piece could still work very, very well. In future, it also might make a difference, on that kind of substrate, to use a darker, heavier color for the line work, to help it compete with the assertiveness of the background. In any case, the drawing/painting, and resulting print of those areas, are wonderful. I think maybe they just need to stand out more. The colors you've chosen may actually be more subtle than the yellowed newsprint, itself, and are definitely more subtle than the [relatively] harsh, hard, geometric swaths of text. Once again, excellent exploration and development of techniques, for all of us to benefit from. Thanks for sharing your work and process so generously!

That’s just gorgeous. I have to confess though, call me strange, but I loved the second drawing as you were showing us where’d you’d batiked. Just those small crayon details & shading, with the shiny batik lines - I would have happily framed that, no further work necessary! As for the weather - omg! I’m in mid-Norfolk and we’ve not just been melting in the heat, but it’s dryer than the Sahara. One day of rain in about 3 - 4 months. 🙁

Hey Venta, thanks for kind words and glad you enjoyed vid. I'm just down the road from you, near Cambridge. I haven't touched the gel plate all summer because drying times were so messed up! been loving it though, out and about swimming and lazing!!!!

Can you give more information about Liquitex Gel Medium? I live in the US and it's not listed among the mediums sold by Blick, a very large art supply store. How is this described on the bottle? Thanks in advance for answering my question. Your videos are incredible, and I've learned so much from watching them.

New subscriber here, just dropping a note to say how much I am enjoying your channel and all the experimental works you're creating. I'd love to know what you consider "must have" tools for fully exploring the gelli plates and what you favorite brands of media are. Thanks for such excellent videos!

Hi n. c. Beyond the plate (I've only used Gelli Arts), brayer, and some heavy body paints (Amsterdam, Daler Rowney Graduate work well) I think you just need to be opportunist. Get some wax crayons and oil pastels for resists, get a range of ppapers to transfer onto... You can great results with the simplest of materials : ) best of luck with it

Hi Anna. my best advice is stand up, hold your pen / pencil half way up - not in handwriting grip and, try to draw with your whole arm, not just your fingers and movements from the wrist. I can do a quick video if it helps...
