[@shirleyburns1982]

I like the last one you did the best. Just enough free flowing color to add a little bit of life to the image.

[@yeatesmakes]

Cheers Shirley : ) was a fun experiment

[@Olhamo]

beautiful. really like the third one, with the all the colour.

[@Xenopticon]

Thanks to Engelhafen for this suggestion! Excellent idea! All three of these works are lovely, but the one with the colored layers is spectacular! I think if you used carbon paper or a product called Saral for your transfer, you could deepen your emboss a bit as you transferred, rather than having to flatten it with the graphite rubbing on the back. Besides being an Indian food brand as well as a cooperative Indian/French space agency initiative, Saral is a chalky, non-waxy, near-equivalent to carbon paper, available in multiple colors (including graphite), depending on the color of the surface to which you are transferring. A 12" roll, 3 feet long, costs about US $12, at Dick Blick. A 12-foot roll is available at the online behemoth rain forest retailer, for a dollar or three more. I assume Saral (or some equivalent) is available across the pond. The short rolls seem pricey, to me; but it does go a long way because each piece you tear off can be used multiple times, as with carbon paper. Push come to shove, however, you could use graphite rubbing and still preserve your original emboss by applying the graphite to a different piece of tissue or other very thin paper, placed under your embossed sheet. If you required more accuracy, for some other use, tape it in place. Thanks for another great video and the gorgeous art you add to our world!

[@patanderson6602]

Thank you so much! So much potential with this!!!

[@yeatesmakes]

Fantastic suggestions, as always. I'm going to look into Saral paper, not come across it yet. Comments sections are giving me so much to think about and sincere thanks to you for always contributing and offering advice, ideas and expertise. : )

[@carolynking5418]

Whee! Never heard of Saral but will definitely check it out. Thanks so much for telling us about it.

[@joelange5795]

I bought a geli plate awhile ago and couldn't get any transfer techniques to work. I tried again after watching your videos and had I little better results. But your drawing transfers really inspired me. I was able to get a really good image off of a drawing made with charcoal pencil. It resisted pulling ink off the plate very similar to your pastel drawings. Thanks for posting these videos! They're great instructionals. And your finished work is wonderful.

[@susane945]

That's FANTASTIC!! I LOVE IT! So great to watch an artist in action, and I really love your ideas and your steps along the way to wonderful finished products! I also love your social conscience. Thanks for sharing your skills will us. 👍🙏❤️

[@reagandobler1461]

Your experiments are very helpful when wanting to try new techniques myself. Thank you!

[@susantische7655]

I like the alcohol marker print as the faint color is not overwhelming the portrait. Not only do you provide a few different looks you educate about the artists who inspire you. Thanks again.

[@yeatesmakes]

Hi Susan, yes, those markers!!! i love 'em. Particularly the pastel and muted tones and colours, really cool for drawing and mixed media. Thanks for kind words : )

[@beckerj.gutsch1243]

Your “experiments” are simply cool…(that coming from this 78 year old)

[@schwarzekatz602]

Thank you, that's a good tip - I will try 😃. I always have problems with Laserprint-transfer on gleliplate, my results are faint, not intensive enough. My ruse is to use your ballpoint-embossing-technic for the important lines on the laserprint. So I get a print which is a mixture of drawing-transfer (ballpoint) and transfer of tones of the laserprint in one process.

[@yeatesmakes]

That's a really good idea - I'm gonna try myself!!!

[@christinacloud4845]

I found this through Pinterest and really enjoyed watching the experiments and have subscribed to your channel. Can’t wait to see more!

[@yeatesmakes]

Takes a while to get used to but - sure you won't regret it

[@dominicfairley2527]

I've recently tried using three sheets for embossing. It gives good depth and you can also cover the underneath of the middle sheet in oil pastel, so whatever lines you draw out to emboss on the top sheet transfers to the bottom one - plus the middle sheet also gets embossed, so you can reuse it for an extra couple of lifts.

[@Saffirance]

Ooh, nice idea! I like it!!

[@Xenopticon]

Echoing Saffrance, excellent idea!

[@dominicfairley2527]

It has mixed results depending on what image you use - I tried something far too complicated first time, so it took ages, but was worth it for the results. It comes up great with nice chunky lines (like comic book type stuff) and is also surprisingly responsive to different levels of pressure for detail/lettering.

[@pippipants]

Definitely interesting 👍

[@dominicfairley2527]

Nearly forgot - if you hold the middle sheet and top sheet up to the light, you can trace the different areas out in pastel on the back. Alternatively, you can reverse print an image and put the pastel straight onto it - which is quicker.

[@jamkapha]

Can't wait to try the damp paper! The marker work you did was so great prior to printing

Wow! LOVE this video so much!! 300 gsm paper is expensive stuff so I am going to try this embossing technique with a watercolor paper that isn't quite as heavy and hope it works, too.

I am blown away by the amazing variety of ways you combine materials and techniques so that your prints look so much like traditional etchings. Bravo, Good Sir! Thank you so much!!

[@yeatesmakes]

Cheers Carolyn, lighter paper works. Just watch using watercolour paper as the heavier tooth on the surface means you can get a more uneven pick up of ink, although, that can look cool!!

[@lindyashford7744]

Another great video. I got quite good prints from the dry ballpoint technique, but my goodness it is inhibiting to have to press that hard! I saw the wet paper technique on Art Prof, but did not think I could do with all the soaking and sloshiness, she also washes her roller, and I cannot mess around with water much, though I loved her results and appreciated her fine art perspecive, as I do yours. I was SO glad to see a drier version! Once more your minimal no fuss approach finds a happy medium for me. I am also very thankful for the heads up on the Amsterdam black, which I will be definitely trying. Am also going to be experimenting with a mix of fast and slow drying acrylics, fast for the under layers, and very opaque and very transparent ones too. For some reason nearly all my golden opens, which are around five years old, are transparent so .I must have had something similar in mind back then for painting, underpainting in fast drying and then glazing, so I am going to see how this does in Gelli print, with landscape to test the process. Also take it slooow, and see whether I can then over print with painted on fast dry opaques. Or even metallics. I have been really liking handpainting the plate so this video of yours sparked of some process ideas as I watched your handpainting bead up a bit. Remembering back I think when I bought these acrylics I had been looking at work made by someone using Perspex and a different kind of printing ink, and I thought it possible to replicate something of that persons process but not the style, as a very home based process rather than a studio one, as I had just become a powerchair user. I forgot till today just how easy it is to forget why you buy art supplies! It is always easier to create in your mind than it is in reality. I really appreciate your no fuss minimum of mess approach, it makes so many things possible. You are already sharing techniques for transparent approaches, so thought maybe the idea that these could be extended might be of interest. I really also enjoyed the Klee and Matisse videos for similar reasons. Thank you too for the idea that the plate is not necessarily a static object!

[@yeatesmakes]

What a wonderful message Lindy, thanks. Giving me loads to think about - golden open paints were on my list but you've just bumped them to the front of my mind! So glad you're making things in a home setting too, I've tried to keep that in mind when making all the videos at my own kitchen table - most of us don't have the luxury of a studio space!!!! And, thanks so much for reinforcing the idea that gel plate is not a static object - its transparency means you can do so much with it!!!!

[@lindyashford7744]

@@yeatesmakes my son bought me my little 6x6 and got me a Perspex mount for it, I have been playing with it, and loving being able to place the Gelli more accurately, so I just got onefor my 8x10 from a company called Clarity stamps. They have an extra half inch all round great for picking the whole thing up, and have some guide lines including diagonals. If I were handy or more adventurous I would make my own and maybe score the guidelines in….. or even just use an indelible pen on the wrong side. it would be easy if you got the Perspex cut for you, it pretty much allows you to print anyway you want, walls, you name it, so long as it is flat…. I like the way I can quickly flip it over, also I can see what it looks like in reverse…. I am thinking that the size of the plate need not inhibit the size of the finished piece either, you just have to plan a bit…. The golden are lovely. I think I was going to have a go with caligo but the clean up looked rather formidable ….. so I got them instead… well, if the open had not worked for print I would have painted with them instead! With your bigger plate I think you might enjoy the longer drying time, if it takes too long then I think you could play around with adding a regular acrylic to adjust it to the kind of time you like working with. I thought with some of your more complex stuff it could give you the extra time you need for placement…

[@chrisruss9861]

Fabulous liberating technique you show here. It could be taken in many directions. I have drawn into wet gesso in the past. Wonder how that would work. I don't think it would be as sharp as ballpoint but it could produce an interesting result on the transfer copy and the gelli plate.

[@Saffirance]

I just might try that. Thanks for the idea!

Hi there Rolf, I do love your comments. The enthusiasm rings through!!! Not transferred onto glass or metal, just assumed the paint would struggle to dry and would probably not adhere. Only one way to find out!!!!!!
