Gelli Printing with Foliage - Using Plants in "the negative print" on the Gel Plate

Hi All!
Today I am exploring gelli printing with foliage, photo negative printing style. In the past there was a technique that might be used once in a great while, called "the negative print." It was used for artistic purposes and introduced more white into the photo image."
I have been noticing my work on the gel plate gravitating towards the topics of flora, fauna and natural elements of nature. In today's studio session I am doing masks and pulling traditional reliefs using some plants and branches from near my studio. Enjoy!

Just found you, a real Treasure, Robyn! Your delivery/personality is like dessert . . . ❤ It's the number one requirement for me, an easy-listen 🙏🏻 you are so comforting. Thank you.

[@juliavanschalkwyk9321]

Beautiful...

[@odilehelbongo5221]

Que c’est beau! J’adore les couleurs. Merciiiiii du partage😘💝

[@Bigheartrolling]

I’ve been watching so many videos. I really love yours. Thank you for being here.

[@julieparker1114]

These are absolutely wonderful! Golden has a short video showing if you mix 4 parts red iron oxide and 1 part yellow iron oxide to get the Nickel Azo Gold. I tried it and I like it.

[@suruha2306]

Flippin' awesome! Thanks!

[@ElisabethBusse-he6hu]

🎉

[@avanellehansen4525]

This is my favorite video yet! I like the edge treatments. I git the last L'Herbier book on Amazon. 😊

[@MsArtistwannabe]

These are gorgeous. Thank you for sharing these.

[@mireillefruin9363]

I couldn’t be more delighted. Botanicals are my absolute favorite but didn’t believe they could work that well with the plate. Love the size, the colors and the idea of drawing over it. How come you always make everything look DIFFERENT??? Million thanks.

[@willowartstudio]

I love the colors you use.

[@scrapbagstudios]

Wonderful prints. Very inspiring Thank you. ❤

[@deborahneumann9162]

Absolutely STUNNING!

[@beenice9867]

Golden high flow tends to dry quickly. I put that down first then go thicker on top which picks up that first layer. I love your work. There are lots of gelli people on KZbin and your work is the best I’ve seen…you elevate it to fine art. I have a similar style.

[@bluefish4064]

you have a lovely style , and your hands are so beautiful when they are working .

[@neorachana5604]

Knocked it out of the park, as usual.

[@scrapbagstudios]

These prints are wonderful! Love the techniques. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@kwokpetra2249]

Wow~love it all,thanks for sharing your technique !🙏🏻💯🔥🥰

[@donnaterrell938]

Love the prints! Enjoy this technique!

[@lisacutten5573]

Robyn, I love botanicals and yours are beautiful! I’m also excited about your book - it arrives on Monday.!! Thank you for sharing your creativity with all of us. ❤

[@apocalypse_frau]

Loving the moodiness and drama of the last two pulls; your mojo is definitively working like alchemy, and I can’t wait to see how this series develops!

[@paulinesteinbrink3568]

Robyn I just love the technique of outlining the print,especially using the lighter inks. Thank you so much for sharing that with us all.

[@jackiemattingly8041]

How long did. It take for you to notice your clean up sheet (the paper you are rolling off the paint from your Breyer) was laying across the gelli plate ?

[@c.t.6567]

I’m not entirely sure how I got here as never heard of a gelli print but not complaining. That’s absolutely beautiful and I’m now off to watch more on your channel

[@angeladingwall5680]

Love love your artwork ❤

[@JWoodCreativeArts]

These prints would be lovely framed! Also printed onto totes to sell at local upscale shops or desert botanical gardens! Beautiful artwork!

[@LS-kg6my]

Wow. Really like your technique for the background edges.

[@itsmeiamb]

That was enjoyable, and I felt like I was right there with you. The way you work reminds me so much of myself, altho I barely dabble and have just started with gel plates. I love your simple registration idea. I loved the colors. My first tries with gel plates were with botanicals I had gathered , with nothing impressive as a result. But I am inspired, thank you!

[@elizabethkandror1530]

You are absolutely adorable. I feel like eating some yummy food after watching this video! You are so enthusiastic and it is fun to watch you experiment.

[@kathrynsargent5769]

Hi, Robyn! Your book arrived yesterday, and I’m going to enjoy it, today. I’m delighted!

[@wk3380]

I just got your book in the mail. It is fabulous!!!!

[@devonrex4]

It's been a while since I've watched one of your videos, and oh boy, this really shows me what I've been missing! They're all absolutely gorgeous! Thank you thank you thank you!

[@susanfontaine5214]

Absolutely stunning!❤

[@janethartmannjones4781]

These are absolutely stunning

[@consideredwhisper]

Hi Robyn - missed the Live this week but just caught up. Wow, these prints are amazing! Love the colour palettes you have used too, more of those darker tones you were favouring more a few months ago. Really loved this session, thank you.

[@kristinaandthegerman4554]

Your tutorials, end results and techniques are stunning! Side note: Your voice is also conducive to learning. Plus, your hands are beautiful. Peace to you.

[@susanboyter9034]

Expensive but very beautiful book Right up my alley. Ooooo that blick tube of bronze is gorgeous

[@donnadownum2279]

Thanks for this great video. I'm going to replay and gelli along with you. Wish I hadn't missed the live chat. YOUR BOOK COMES TODAY, Robyn. I'm so excited!

[@pauladyer9845]

Thank you..got my brain working

[@kathyodham7002]

Excellent video! I can’t wait to try your techniques!

[@pamostman516]

I received your book yesterday from Amazon and Robyn I have to tell you it is beautiful and well done. Thank you so much.

[@beenice9867]

I find that Liquitex Basics titanium white or another opaque color picks up everything. I love the Tree Of Life…and don’t call it a ghost…call that print GOLD! It’s beautiful.

[@joannlitzel8924]

Beautiful!!! Love your colors.

[@lindastewart5630]

Just beautiful! What a wonderful technique❤️ I’m going to have to give it a go🤗 I love your work and your exuberance- you make me want to get my gel plates out of storage and start playing again👌🏻Thank you Robyn for sharing💖🌺

[@kimbazzani8697]

[@annajavier5712]

I got your book today so happy and I’m going through it as a class with you so happy for you and the books great

[@tannaorr4133]

Just want to say Robyn, I just received your book. So worth waiting for and it’s gorgeous! Knew you’d do a fantastic job, but it’s way above my expectations. Absolutely a fabulous book! And thanks for including the stencils! So fun.

[@user-sd9sx9pq4q]

Awesome!

[@Hollywoodhat]

I love the edges ALOT. Your work is so stunning. I live in the desert so I'm always working against the drying air but now that it's winter it's a bit better. Live the eucalyptus. Interesting botanicals here.❤

[@raelynnreffruschinni8802]

I love these!

[@rankinstudios5342]

The last is my favorite!😊

[@susanzolton6730]

Nice job

[@dwen5065]

Great stuff. Thanks for the video. I am watching this because I just got your book. Both are great.

[@alysonhovanec6314]

Late to the party, but beautiful work!!! ❤❤❤

[@MsArtistwannabe]

My book has shipped. Expected arrival by Tuesday.

[@shirleymccullough2515]

Very interesting this week watching you using foliage, I’ve tried eco printing a few times and seeing you use foliage is fun for me. What paper are you using please? . Love what you are doing and got notification that my book is on its ways !!! Very excited to receive it … thanks 💖💖💖

[@junk-usi]

Love all 🌾🌿🧡

[@valerielynch2042]

Love your work. Just subscribed.

[@apocalypse_frau]

My book arrives tomorrow, and I signed up for the summit earlier in the week. The welcome/intro was very relatable and moving; looking forward to every bit of the retreat. 😊

[@suspicious-gnome]

I just started doing gelli prints a couple of days ago and I am obsessed. I just found you, and your aesthetic is completely resonating with my own!! ABSOLUTELY LOVED this video! I live in Denver also. Do you show your work locally? I may take one of your classes soon. Thank you for being so flipping cool!!

[@ashleyklooster1400]

I am new to gel plate printing, but have fallen in love with it. I have learned so much from your video- this is the first of yours I’ve watched, I’ll be bingeing more! Two questions though- 1) how did you go about getting the edging on your plate. That is the style I’m going for, but I’m getting very defined edges. 2) would you consider doing a consultation zoom to help me more with my technique? Thank you for your video!

[@ochervelvet9687]

May I ask what kind of ink you used in the print with the eucalyptus leaves? (The black ink that you outlined the leaves with.) It seems to be raised and have quite a shine. I’d love to buy some.

[@vickikaye2170]

Golden recommend the following mixture for Quin. azo gold. mix transparent red iron oxide with nickel azo yellow 4:1. Someone else suggested magenta + green gold. I haven't tried either as yet.

[@PainterDave]

I see a base color needs to be added to the bottom to imitate rocks and grass in order to plant the tree. It is floating as shown.

[@debraolm7104]

😍😍😍❣💟💜👌🐝

[@annajavier5712]

I heard it’s 80 percent and I guess that would work because my number is higher. I love plant books too

[@sherryleggett1612]

I am anxiously waiting for your book to be released. I can’t wait to see the email telling me the book has been shipped. Ant idea of an eta?

[@carolejordan4785]

I love this technique!!! I have to admit that I haven’t been watching your content much lately but this is amazing!!!( as you mentioned in the video you got your “mojo” back). Have you ever thought of using nail art paint brushes for painting (like when you traced around the leaves? They create a super thin fine line, sort of like calligraphy brushes in miniature. Think they would be perfect for this sort of thing.

[@rebellee66]

I would love to know what paper you were using on that 16x20 plate please. Just love this size and what you are doing!

[@paintingtracey]

What size is the plate? Love this video!

[@denisejames1687]

Love botanical prints! Wondering what foliage you used for this?

[@larkspin]

What inks do you use later?
