Hi Mark! Just wanted to tell you that watching your videos and implementing some of your techniques has truly elevated my work. You inspire innovative thinking and bold experimentation but not at the expense of having fun. What I appreciate most is your humility and generosity. You are a master of this medium. May God bless and keep you.

[@yeatesmakes]

What a lovely message, thanks so much. All I hoped for in starting a channel was to give a little nudge to folks here and there in hope they take up techniques and run with them. Really, thanks for such a rewarding comment : ) x

So cool! This is hands down the most interesting gel plate demonstration/tutorial channel on YT, all the others are doing just the same things . I love all your new ideas, thanks so much for sharing 😊

[@yeatesmakes]

Thanks so much Maria, really kind comment. Glad the videos stand out for you. : )

[@charlottejean3182]

I think the same here ! Love your channel and particularly the pieces of art you made out in this one. Soooooo beautiful! I just bought my first gel plate and hope my painting experience will help when I experiment. Thanks a lot for sharing all your fantastic discoveries 🙏

[@Esther-c8g]

I am a Yeates Makes-aholic. You are by far the very best, creative, generous artist of all on you tube. Willing to experiment and fail (as well as succeed) broadens our horizons every time. Thank you!

Lovely message, thank you and glad videos are appreciated 😀

Love the ironic use of newspaper text on a plant called Honesty. Beautiful end results.

Yeah - Yeates makes again!!! Always looking so forward to any videos from you! Thanks for taking the time to share!

[@betagolchin]

Hi Mark, amazing work! I learned that If you add some Propylene Glycol to your paints you can create your own open medium paints and avoid them drying too quickly on the plates!

[@wendl15]

Inspiring demo. I love botanicals on the gel plate but this is a way to take them to another level. Thanks!

[@ruthloewen3884]

I love this! It's simple enough for me to follow and to imagine doing it myself, but so artistic and graphic. I always enjoy your art and art processes, but mostly I just watch with awe. I think this may be the first one where I felt I could try it --- at least some of the techniques -- myself.

[@lisasnyder8615]

You have inspired me to purchase a gel plate! I’m excited to start this new journey with your great pointers, tips, and ventures! Thank you so much for feeding my curiosity!

Best if luck, you'll find your way with it soon enough : )

[@theuktoday4233]

You have got me to buy a gelli plate as you create art. I have a massive collection of photographs I've taken over many years and was wondering what I could do with them that's different and here we are. I cant wait to turn them into art instead of stills! Thanks for the videos, they have inspired me. Mike

Always an inspiration. You got me addicted to gel plate printing. I LEARNED IT BY WATCHING YOU! (Any 80s commercial kids out there? Anyone?)

Hey Jeremiah, that's lovely to read. Didn't get your reference, are you in the US? I'm an 80s commercial kid, but of the UK!!!

[@lindyashford7744]

Cannot tell you how timely this video is! Breaking the job up for starters, and then the usefulness of a smaller roller. I have just doubled up my 8x10 and plan to go to A2 as soon as I have got the hang of A3, and where to put everything when working big! I had been balking at the idea of trying to work with several larger bits of paper all at the same time, and so this video was like a gift! I will never own one of those huge plates but I think I can get ingenious given time… Love your subject matter and the simplicity with which you approached it, and that reminded me, I must try to grow some, I love it, and I must give the oil pastel resist another try. Your prints look great, the larger one especially, I hope you will be posting more… Thanks.

[@suzishapiro9867]

Very interesting and a beautiful final product. Thanks.

Love your videos and ideas. Alison

He descubierto esta técnica hace dos meses y es aditiva, realmente el primer mes me sirvió de terapia, ya que tenía que recuperarme y liberar a mi cuerpo de la quimio que me había estado poniendo todo un año. Hay muchos videos para utilizar estas planchas, pero tu las has llevado a un nivel creativo superior. Tienes facilidad para dibujar, pero también eres muy creativo y didáctico, algo que no se encuentra facilmente en internet, seguiré tus consejos, aunque a mi el papel de periódico no me deja huella, y las ceras al óleo las volveré a probar, pero en principio tampoco me dejaban huella, lo que si es cierto es que no todos los acrílicos valen, agradecida por esta nueva visión de las planchas.

Something I've found doing similar types of transfer is that using a coloured oil pastel or pen or chalk means your transfer sheet often comes out as interesting as the transfer. Red works brilliantly if you're using black ink, but other combinations work great too.
