Trying a new Technique on the Gel Plate | Experimenting is important!

Today I'm trying a new technique on the gel plate. I've used Golden high flow paints on the gel plate before but this time I'm doing it in a free form way without a stencil. I'm just painting right from the bottle on to the plate. Check it out.
I'm slowly rolling out my line of stencils and masks. Check them out here: susanclifton.c...

I am a retired high school art teacher. I purchased two gelli plates and watch your videos daily, learning so much before I venture into the process. Watching the entire process from deli prints to multiple layers is so valuable. Thank you!

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

I see by how many comments you leave that you are really excited about it. That's great. And thanks for watching and commenting.

[@candace1497]

Please don’t stop showing your background making process. Not only does it give us instruction on color and blending combos, but it really has a soothing, meditative feel!

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

OK. Good to know. Thanks for watching.

[@kathrynmoon8793]

I always appreciate the visual for the whole process! Thank you for sharing your techniques!❤️😃😊

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

Thanks for watching.

[@julieboyle170]

I have no issue whatsoever with watching you create your backgrounds. Please continue to do so.

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

Thanks. Good to hear.

[@juliekbrooks]

Since I am just getting started, I like seeing you create all of the backgrounds and papers. Thanks!

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

Thanks. I will keep them in. Thanks for watching.

[@MarylynBroomhall]

I benefit from watching both, thanks Susan 😊

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@ochervelvet9687]

I appreciate seeing your background process. Every time you pull a print, no matter how plain, I learn something more.

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

Thanks. That is good to know.

[@barbriley583]

Not bored!💕

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

I'm happy!

[@allthumbs3792]

Loved watching you create just for the fun and curiosity! I agree leave in all the background pulls, it's part of the total process. TFS!

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

OK. I will. Thanks for watching.

[@alynch6606]

I enjoy your backgrounds! Thanks for the color inspiration

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

You're welcome. Thanks for watching.

[@suetraviss8888]

Making the backgrounds is my favourite part. I’ve made some stunning backgrounds over the last few days. I think I’ve finally found my bliss. Only took 54 years…

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

Thanks for watching.

[@kathrynboettcher7632]

I am sort of new to this process so, I apperciate seeing how you make the backgrounds also.

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

Good to know. There are lots of techniques for gel printing so enjoy. You will find your favorite.

[@katiehanrahan5293]

This was great! I love watching you experiment - gives me ideas of things to try (or not) with my sessions. Your ‘least favorite’ (the orange & black) is my favorite! It reminds me of some of the surrealist paintings.

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

It's all so relative. Some times I find my least favorites become my favorite parts of a collage. Thanks for watching.

[@cherylegglestonart2426]

Love the backgrounds! I really enjoy your videos!😊

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

Glad you like them!

[@lawrencediggs7957]

I love your experiments. The thin tipped bottles gave me a couples more ideas to try. Thanks.

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

Wonderful!

[@heddadoyle4237]

I like to see the background colors that you use as well.

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

Thanks for watching.

[@kayperret2417]

Like Laura, I'm pretty experienced with the gel plate, AND I take notes on your background colors while I watch. I'm always up for interesting color combos! Great video. Lovely presentation style.🧡

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

Thanks for watching.

[@valeriekeddie2980]

Please keep showing us how you do your backgrounds. Loved this experiment! More please!

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

Will do! Thanks for watching.

[@nomadgigi4051]

That was fun to watch. I'd just done some gel prints myself. I think I need some liquid paints like you use, my acrylic paints dry too fast in the current heatwave in Australia.

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

The high flow paints work on the plate but in a totally different way. And because they bead up on the plate they take long to dry. But for regular acrylic that can be brayered on I would go with Golden open acrylics if you want paints that dry slower. Enjoy!

[@sharongiles7222]

Could you try a dip pen with the very liquid acrylics on the plate? Probably very delicate effects.

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

Possibly. Thanks for watching.

[@frankohlmeier8927]

I like your entire process. I wish you would hold your results to the camera for a longer period…you whisk them away too fast!😍

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

I'll try to be better in the future.

[@d.white.creations]

Please leave in

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

Will do. Thanks for watching.

[@laurabarnes5283]

I vote leave in the backgrounds. I'm pretty well versed in using a gel plate, but I love seeing other artists' color palettes.

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

I agree. I love watching others as well.

[@cynthiathomas262]

can i add a drop of water to paint to equal a high flow paint? or is there more to the high flow paint>

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

I don't know much about the chemistry of high flow but a drop of water is not enough to get that consistency. They do make High Flow Medium that thins and extends your acrylic paints.

[@westlakes-st9sc]

What paper weight are you using to do the main print?

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

It's rice paper. They don't list the paper weight on the packaging. Here is the link: amzn.to/3mgru8L. I think they are currently out of stock but they will be back.
