Matte Medium on the Gelli™ Plate - How to Achieve Colorless Pulls when Mark Making

[@patticriss2238]

So, so helpful. I find you knowledgeable, talented and entirely elegant in every way. I’m learning so much. Thank you for your time.

[@tamouse]

Brand new to gel printing, and I'm going through these, I am so glad you did this short and sweet workshop form - 5-10 minutes and one thing is so much better that listening to someone ramble and mess up which just leave me confused. You're giving me a rudder to steer by to learn this medium and technique! Thank you so much 😊

[@corrinarapp8411]

HI! POSCA ;-) I'm new to this, just finished my first pack of 100 rice paper. I had papers all over my living room but in a happy place. Thank you for your inspiration!

[@RobynMcClendon]

The rice paper is amazing once you start printing it is nearly impossible to stop!!

[@epoelker]

I enjoy all the visiting you get to do in your long form vids. But these shorties where you zero in on a topic are turning out to be so helpful. In fact, this very topic has been on my mind. Being a beginner I wondered about using colorless medium and there you were. I hope you also get to talk about working gel plates in arid climates. I'm up here in Colorado. Not quite as dry as AZ but we do dry out! I'm wondering if a misting room humidifier would help while I print. Thx for all your efforts, Robyn.

Time to try the posca pen tomorrow on my gelly plate 😁

[@janethartmannjones4781]

Love these short videos - POSCA

[@grafxkat]

I love the this Posca pen idea. If you’re hesitant on adding mark making to a print, using this technique on your gelli plate you can turn it over and audition what it will look like. Then add matte medium and pull it. Great!!! Thanks Robin

[@RobynMcClendon]

Yes it really is a great way to make decisions about adding layers!

[@shawndelker291]

Thanks for sharing! Love these 10 minute videos! Pasco

[@rachelsheldon4667]

Robyn, you are a treasure, sharing your incredible techniques 🙏🥰🌸. Love me a Posca pen or ten 😉

[@sherrycooksley5196]

Love this. Have to add POSCA to my to do list.

[@apaxicana]

Love this "workshop this" series, it's a great place to send friends who are interested in your work and the work I've been doing along with you for the last year. Bravo!

[@joank8370]

Wow! Awesome idea and technique! The possibilities are endless! Thanks so much! I have a ton of matte medium too!

Posca - yet another interesting use for the pens. love love love

[@claudettemiskell2763]

Posca! I love watching you. Your work is stupendous. And your jewelry would look totally at home in my wall-mounted jewelry box!🤩🙏🖖🏽

[@evetei]

Hi Posca, am loving your short technical posts, Robyn. Would you one on how to take care of the gelli plates? One artist mentioned online to always remove the plastic mylar sheet because it damages the plate, but I see you keep it attached on the underside while you work. That is good to see, as I did not know what surface to place mine on as I work. Cheers from Canada with gratitude.

[@RobynMcClendon]

Hi good question! 1) Gelli arts recommends you to put the mylar it was packaged with, back on top 2) It also depends on the climate. I could never imagine leaving my plate exposed here in Arizona. The mylar and clam shell case helps to preserve the moisture in the plate. 3) I like to store my plates so that they don't gather dust or particles. So to me the logical choice is the packaging it came in and I've never had my plates damaged. 😊 Thanks for commenting!

[@pineconemediadesign]

Posca. Great demo. Thanks!

[@paulinesteinbrink3568]

Just love the technique of using Posca pens to add another dimension.

[@Susancshell]

Have you seen the new gold and silver metallic medium? Ooooo, wonder how they will work guess I am gelli printing this weekend 😀

[@RobynMcClendon]

Yes I have they'll work nicely a bit like the champagne gold acrylics I like to use in glazing so you will get some color :)

[@nangustafson8110]

Who makes these metallic mediums? Thanks

[@Susancshell]

@@nangustafson8110 Liquitex. I found them at Michael's craft store.

[@henriette9969]

Awesome, I love your mark making puls! Is a Posca Pen an acrylic paint pen? Thank you so much for this great workshop, stay safe and have a wonderful day.😍❤

[@japhyryder66]

This was oh so fabulous! Posca!

[@sherylgardner6413]

Can you direct me to tissue paper please? I see so many different kinds I’m rather confused. I LOVE this technique. I’m gathering lots of info before I start. Thanks so much! Oh and I love these workshops- so very helpful!

[@marilynsandau4820]

I love Posca pens, but never thought of using them on the gel plate. Thanks, Robyn.

[@RobynMcClendon]

You are so welcome!

[@chrishayman1747]

Is gloss medium ok too?

[@tammywilliams5006]

This is absolutely genius. I've never seen anyone use matte medium to pull a print. I'm uncomfortable doing free hand hold mark making directly on a beautiful print, this way I can see what I'm going to get. And I love the fact that another layer can be added without adding color. My only concern is being that matte medium is a glue, should I completely clean the plate and brayer after working with this process or will the leftover bits eventually release with later print making? Thank you for sharing your talent and experience.

[@RobynMcClendon]

No Worries with the Matte Medium because it isn't technically a glue though it can be used as one ie. collaging papers. It actually has a large amount of acrylic binders the same binders that are in paint just a bit less. It does release completely from the paint with little residue , treat clean up the same as you would paint! Thx for enjoying the process :)

[@phyllisjeanfulton]

I’ve been using it to pick up ghosts. Good on you for the information 🌹😊

[@DoriPatrick]

How fun!!! I'm gonna get my matte medium out and try! Thanks so much!

This is very new, surprising, and very very good. You wow me every time Posca! Matte medium is my most favorite art making material yet this is the first moment I've heard of it used in monoprinting.

It basically is colorless acrylic paint! Thx Shelly for all of your comments, I enjoy reading them! :)

Thanks. I bought your book but not sure what you meant by glazing. Watching this video suggests you mean braying until really thin. Would that be correct?

@@RobynMcClendon you're right. Thanks

[@elizabethhodgson8903]

Do you have to do anything special to clean matte medium off your plate and brayer? I notice it doesn't come off my hands or work surfaces as easily as acrylic paint.

[@laureygreider7617]

Wonderful video!!! I didn’t catch what you had on the plate that was iridescent, so beautiful! And you mentioned archival tissue paper, but I didn’t see it on your supply list, maybe it has another name? Thanks so much for your great teaching style:-)!🦋🌿🌸🌊🐋🌅💕

[@mikimcmechan7821]

can you use ordinary tissue papers on the gelli plate
