Small format Gelli plate printing with paper stencils amd collage

Making a colored background on 8 1/2 x 10 inch acid free cardstock paper with a Gelli plate. In this step by step demo I show how I create my image backgrounds. A Gelli plate is lots of fun to use and is readily available to anyone interested in making art on paper. www.gelliarts.com

Your instruction is extremely helpful. Your measured way of speaking makes it easy to think about what you're saying and to process it without missing anything. Thank you.

[@artwhisperer88]

Thanks so much!

[@chrisruss9861]

I always feel calm and attentive watching your process. A lot of other art video sites are disjointed and too fast, while wasting time on trivia and one is often left wondering how the latest click bait gimmick was really achieved. The Zen austerity of your small space may be the key. You enable viewers to reflect on how they may develop their own creative methods.

[@lisaess6514]

Your use of color is masterful. There’s so much vibrancy, texture, and interest in each. Just beautiful!

[@ElleCoyote]

Thank you for this post. I am not very precise on registration but this would definitely work well without having to buy anything. I played with cut shapes and using your method of applying color over paper masks, and removing them before printing on another color. I LOVED IT! Thanks again!

I am new (just found you this morning!) to your channel and had to stop the video and just thank you for your wonderful inspiration and talent. I am new to the gel plate as well and your words are of innumerable help. I went to your website and immediately sent a link to artist friends of mine. I live a an artist community (although I’m a retired jazz musician and composer) and visual art is giving me a second Spring in creativity. I look forward to more of your wonderful content. Again, many thanks. (I wish there was a stronger word! 😊)

Really great colors this session !!! I think it makes the image interesting when the masks touch each other (like in the piece with the grey background. Also, using the colors that are already in the print for collage is very strong. Best work up yo now ( imho). thanks for the video.

[@artwhisperer88]

Thanks Marijke! I owe you on the tip about using baby oil to clean the plate, it's great!

[@s.k.1091]

Really great color combos! Someone else may have mentioned, this, but if not: try cutting stencils from Tyvek envelopes. Works much better than paper for me :-)

[@gothjones]

Ha! I've been wondering if you're eyeballing the center of the paper when you place it against the registration. Turns out you have been. Very impressive.

[@beki1377]

Very nice 👍🏼 I would be interested in what you are doing with these prints…

[@artwhisperer88]

[@Danielle-nz9tn]

Love the idea of making your own stencils. Especially if you like the bold graphic style, why not make your own rather than buy them? Seems pretty easy and they look really cool! Love how your prints turned out! Thanks for showing your whole process. Sometimes I see people wait for paint layers to dry (while layers are still on plate) before applying the background onto the plate. Do you ever do it that way? I find it a little more confusing and your way seems more straightforward, or at least easier for me to understand and visualize how it might turn out. Thanks again 😊

[@artwhisperer88]

Hi Danielle, there is no right or wrong way. Sometimes getting so hung up on procedures kills the joy of creating. Best to do test prints to see what works for you. It's never easy, but having fun while doing art is the whole point. Good luck with your projects!

[@isabeltipple9942]

You can also put your paper in a laminate sheet and sit the gelli plate on top of that for accurate registration?

strong tribal vibe....imagining a modern dance choreographed with these prints as revolving partners projected holographically...

What do you do with your prints? Do you use them as portions of collage or mixed media or display them as complete compositions? So many demonstrations on youtube of printmaking without any follow up. Would love to see the next step in the process, if there is one.
