How to use gel plate collage to spice up your drawing/illustration work

[@chalmer31]

You can repeat as much as you like! There is SO much information in your videos I watch them many times over as I try to work through the techniques. These are brilliant. I've said it before...best mixed media art instruction on the internet 🏆

[@odilehelbongo5221]

👍👍

[@emilyrosenzweig9946]

Couldn't agree more with everything you've said!

[@RoughingIt_0]

He is so talented! It blows my mind to watch him work.

[@shaheenamjad-ali6858]

That store front piece is an absolute master class of mixed media techniques and imagination.

[@YooperGranny]

Absolutely wonderful to watch each drawing come to life. The store front is incredible. Thank you for sharing these processes when working in collage.

[@catgrrrl5666]

Not to take away from the first two.. they were brilliant.. but the shop front is absolutely amazing 👏❤!

[@cat6022]

Love your work. You are never repetitive.

[@FrancesFraser-wl1je]

Absolutely fantastic, I could watch you all day. You have exceptional drawing skills and a wonderful teaching manner. Thank you so much for sharing. 🇦🇺

[@kokoslores9666]

Every one of your videos opens up a whole new world. 😍 Thank you so much for sharing!

[@peckinpahlady]

Brilliant as usual. The tiles and wood sign were strokes of genius. Thank you.

[@kathrynewray8797]

Weren't they. I got really excited at that point 😂

[@annesliwka6392]

Tons of good ideas! I agree…best print demos around, so generous of you to share with us👏

[@BarbieBud]

I’m new to using a gel block and I’ve been all over exploring and you’re the most creative person I’ve found. You make it your own.

[@martinatierney]

Please be repetitive, I love that! I could watch your videos over and over. I would love to have seen a slowed down and repeated video of the shop front. But, as always, wonderful work, and instruction. Thank you for it all, I look forward to each new video.

[@peggyzukaitis3409]

Thank you! I just love watching you work! So inspirational!!

[@allthumbs3792]

Brilliant! Incredible technique and execution! Your artwork is absolutely unique and innovative.

[@wendystucker7563]

Wow! Your creativity & skill blows me away. The storefront piece is amazing! You make it look so easy. Thank you so much for sharing this content with everyone. So appreciate it!

[@TheMarkEH]

Bravo! This is a remarkable mixed media artwork. Thank you for sharing your creativity, techniques and tips.

[@kathrynewray8797]

I watch a lot of art tutorials on KZbin and your stuff is by far for me the most inspiring and interesting of the lot. The shop front piece is genius. I loved watching you create it and it got me thinking about ways I can incorporate the techniques into my own work. Thanks so much Mark for keeping it cool, interesting and real! Spot on!

[@2phwall]

Old and Abandoned storefronts are always intriguing to me for their interesting textures and untidy spaces. Your work is always so inspiring!! 😍

[@yeatesmakes]

😀 lovely comment thanks

[@Paperhabitj]

Wow, talk about taking it up a notch! Amazing artist! Thank you for sharing your talent with us!

[@gorfulator]

I loved the payoff with the tile!

[@yeatesmakes]

👌

[@ellenstoune8937]

I really love how you create collage. Lots of ideas are brewing for my own work. Thanks for sharing!

[@rhiflea]

My mum just introduced me to your videos and you're so talented!!!! So cool.

[@marybrown2545]

You are BRILLIANT! I could watch you create all day … thank you for opening up all the possibilities we can do with gel plate. I’m just playing with my gel ( not an artist at all ) but I’ve tried a few of your techniques and love trying new ideas ! Thank you so much ! 🦋

[@a.r.4416]

Your new video is again so inspiring! Your mind seems to work at many creative levels simultaneously, breathtaking🎉

[@diannesumida6357]

I am just getting acquainted with gelli printmaking. You are brilliant, from the flattened beer can to this store front with the cone that suddenly appeared and stole the show! Mahalo nui loa from Hawaii 💜

[@yeatesmakes]

My word, kind of spins me out that people in Hawaii are watching! Good luck with your printmaking journey : )

[@deonemccarthy2807]

You are such an inspiration. I love that you always think outside the box. Everything you do is so unique. Can’t thank you enough for sharing it all!

[@rosemarypilgrim4589]

Love this spotlight on drawing and new ways to approach it

[@yeatesmakes]

Drawing, for me, is the start and often the end of everything in art. It’s just so immediate and the gateway to everything else like painting and sculpture and so on. Thanks for the lovely comment 😀

[@hayjen41]

A masterclass 🙌. Thank you for sharing these techniques 👏. Now inspired to use my (currently rainy day) holidays to crack on with a mindful project. 🤜🤛...you rock❣️

[@dinamic6210]

Wonderful, unique and inspirational

[@artsy897]

I love, love, love watching you work. I’m not a professional but as for what comes up in my feed you are a professional genus to me! I never get anyone doing such inspirational things like this! That piece is wonderful and fun to watch!

[@wendyfarrowartist]

Brilliant! Love watching you work and hearing your thought processes. I’m sure the new owner of this property would snap this piece up if it isn’t sold already.

[@janethartmannjones4781]

Happy summer, lovely to have a video pop up with your inventive techniques thanks so much

[@yeatesmakes]

Happy summer to you too 😀

[@janinafisher101]

Mark, you are a creative marvel! These are fabulous, and that storefront is amazing. I love the NeoColor II water-soluble crayons too. Now I'm going to have to go back and see how you did some of these, but I am always happy to have you repeat things. There's just so much to learn. Thanks for sharing your wonderful ideas!

[@yeatesmakes]

Thanks so much!

[@DigsRetro]

The old tape shop, Brilliant. ❤

[@MandyJeanRider]

Just WOW! I always look forward to your videos, you are such an innovator in the gel plate space!

[@donnaferguson513]

Fantastic!!!! Delighted to watch you create.

[@yeatesmakes]

😀 lovely message thank you

[@MixedMediaArtByTrina]

Another brilliant video. Love how you used the collage papers. Awesome to see a new video. 😍

[@renig5059]

What a treat with breakfast this morning. Watching the gelli plate master at work with 3 different works of superb art.. no one does it like you🎉 thx🤩

[@yeatesmakes]

: ) Very kind, thank you for the support and glad it was a useful video

[@libbykalinowski5799]

Such wonderful and complex work you do! Thank you for continuing to share with us.

[@suebond2971]

Thank you for the inspiration, lovely ideas as always. The shop front is brilliant. 🙂

[@sabinekorth]

Brillant and full of small and huge wonders! Thanks 🤗🎨🔥

[@Artistallegedly-ys4rt]

So inspiring...Thanks. you give me some hope that the messes i am currently making with my plate may eventually turn into something. What great work!!

[@WPMaine]

I'm actually clapping my hands in delight; thank you for continuing to so generously share your techniques/ideas/process/final products! One question: Why. not put the gel medium in little batches on the page rather than the fiddly, back-of-each, piece-by-piece process?

[@BetaGolchin]

absolutely amazing as always!

[@BlueLotusLife]

Fantastic video! A pleasure to watch you create and very instructive as well.

[@cindycreateforlife]

You are an amazing artist and I love that you so expertly used the gel plate to do this last piece! It really stretches my imagination creatively! Very inspiring!💕🇨🇦

[@kristinberg-wingnutstudio]

Just wow! Thanks for sharing!!

[@susaningold3042]

The best demo! ❤

[@ranimacias7638]

Really enjoyed this video. The layers are fabulous and inspiring. Thank you!!!

[@susanwilman182]

Another great project. Fascinating to watch.

[@starlroughan]

Those tiles turned out so well! Reminds me of my last big collage when I was gluing down individual blades of grass. I'm mostly doing collages of bones and flora, but now you've inspired me to give some architecture a go 😅

[@ClamJaneH66]

Thanks for sharing your process with us, it was very informative. Love the finished work.

[@laurabiscaro6900]

So amazing is your work and cannot seem to learn enough from you. Thank you.

[@jneigler]

Absolutely fantastic! Your inspiration photo is just wonderful. Your technique is so amazing!

[@donnamorina7846]

Simply brilliant. I love watching your videos and learning from your experience. Your homage to the storefront was terrific! I wonder if the original owners would appreciate that 😊

[@kateveneroso5754]

am back watching I always enjou watch your fuzzy work, tis cool, you are the bomb and for me as an artist I love your work! Great, fantastic, you are so cool!

[@cosmiccoyotedog-doreenb9605]

FANTASTIC Love your style and your teaching method.

[@cindyhergenhan3787]

Thank you so much for all the great content you provide. I love your art. You’re gifted with so much talent and a wonderful eye for design. Thanks for sharing!

[@yeatesmakes]

Very kind, cheers : )

[@cecilytrajkov2607]

I always get super excited when I see that you have posted another clip - your work is so awesome, inspiring! Thanks for being so generous with your knowledge and techniques.

[@yeatesmakes]

A pleasure to share, hopefully sparks a few ideas in folks and keeps them fresh and making : )

[@lisam9233]

Great techniques as always and the abandoned shop piece is fantastic‼️

[@yeatesmakes]

Cheers, very kind. The shop is a weird local landmark, will be sad when that old sign gets removed. Having said that, the UK is now littered with empty shops and commercial spaces that are a stark reminder of a lot of issues that need addressing

[@xeniafowler3249]

Very very cool as always, so much patience but my god it's worth it 👌

[@shadowaccount]

You inspire me to start and then I stop once I do.

[@sagepremoe1565]

Creating a gelli plate sheet and cutting it out for the bricks is an amazing idea. So simple yet I didn't think of it. ?When you made the wood grain gel print did you let the paint dry before you added the white layer? Amazing pieces!

[@yeatesmakes]

Hey there, cheers for taking the time to comment. Yep, I let the wood layer dry and then lifted onto the tissue with the white acrylic

[@pippipants]

It must be summer 😊 Glad to see you again. Will always enjoy watching your experiments or art in progress. Always so much you can do with a gel plate. Great to have a reminder.

[@codytheelder2325]

Follow you all the time. This one is brilliant! Cheers 🍻

[@beenice9867]

Wow! You are really stepping up your game! This gives us so many ideas. Thank you for sharing your art and wisdom!

[@Shoshana-xh6hc]

Thenk you! just ordered some of this paper and cant wait to experiment

[@yeatesmakes]

Carnival paper / wet strength tissue is incredible. It’s really good for sculpture too

[@theresacarroll4597]

love watching your glorious videos! Thanks!

[@HoofInDenver]

Such a cool piece, Mate!

[@carolepivarnik9316]

Always great to see a new video from you! Your work is so expressive and it's brilliant how you incorporate gel printing as a fine art technique that looks very sophisticated. Thanks for sharing!

[@BrendaElliott-q6t]

Unbelievable work….I so enjoy your exceptional skills….thank you so much for sharing

[@mary-smz]

I think as an artist beyond your wealth of talents and your ability to find inspiration you show us there is no right or wrong in art - just try.

[@yeatesmakes]

The main ‘right’ is that you just try 😀

[@CarolFrancois-m7q]

Your work is always so awesome. Thank you for sharing.❤

[@sivtoveberg2543]

Your videos are so inspiring and helpful, and your work is amazing❤

[@anthonygrant99]
