Gel Plate Printing: collage papers, using stencils and abstract monoprinting.

Some early experiments exploring and delving into the new world of printing using a gel plate. In this video, I am demonstrating some ways to create collage papers for abstract paintings and abstract monoprints using a gel plate.
The video was originally recorded for my Art Fluency Membership group as part of monthly Featured Content, which can be an artist interview, a mindset question to explore, a sketchbook prompt or a demonstration video.

What a great demo. Finally, someone doing great stuff on a gelli plate!

[@lincheungart]

@@LeslieParsons-f3v thank you!

[@clarehughes1260]

Great technique and exciting way to monoprint .thank you for your tutorial. I have learned new things about Gelli printing.

[@lincheungart]

Thank you

[@elizabethjehnzen]

I've been gel printing for years, and somehow, I forgot about this technique. Loved watching you create.

[@lincheungart]

I know it's not rocket science is it? Very effective as a way of working though, I love it!

[@patriciadistefano7467]

Really enjoyed watching this technique. I learned a lot. Thank you so much! Beautiful papers!

[@lincheungart]

Glad you found it useful

[@sarawelder1]

Thank you so much! I really think using several sheets covering parts of the gel plate leads to much more interesting prints.

[@lincheungart]

Helps I think.

[@EdinaCloud]

Didn’t think to use multiple sheets and I do like the tan colour paper and your choice of colour palette. Definitely going to give this a go. Thanks for sharing your techniques.

[@lincheungart]

Have fun!

[@amandavdbergh2210]

It's so nice to see someone tries new things with the gelliplate, thank you!

[@xencage]

Really love this way of working with the gel press. I’ve actually been exploring using in this way also. As more of a “brush” or compositional tool. I could imagine working with a canvas or cradle board and a very, very large plate!

[@lincheungart]

I know me too, I've been looking around to find a larger one. If you're in the UK Jackson's Art Supplies have some larger ones.

Lawrence in Brighton do a 16 x 20 inch plate.

Hi Margaret, the brand is a Gelli Plate, I bought mine locally from a small art supplies company. You can get them on Amazon, from Jackson's Art Supplies in the UK.
