This is spectacular… sorry if I sound like I’m going overboard in this comment, but you are one of the most creative people I’ve come across in the world of printing. Thanks for all of your posts.

I don’t think you ever have to worry about your videos becoming too repetitive! Partly because your brain seems to be filled with an unending supply of truly revolutionary and unexpected printmaking ideas, and partly because even if you show us the same technique across multiple videos, there will always be some fascinating discovery, accident, or insight that you bring to your process!

I've only just started to learn some printing techniques and I'm so glad to have found this channel. You really are above and beyond! Thank you so much for generously sharing your processes and amazing ideas.

You are seriously the most underrated artist and content creator out there. How you don’t have 3 figure subscribers is a mystery and a crime if I’m honest. You blew me away with this one! Loved the collage at the end as well as the beautiful print in blue.Will any prints from this series be for sale?

Fabulous! I've taken to watching your videos when I have my lunch. It's one of the highlights of my day - I always learn so much from watching you play and experiment!

Thank you for showing how a true artist can make gelli printing absolute works of art. Binge watching your channel is a must 😁

Your first drawing reminded me of Frida Kahlo. The photo, then, showed me it's definitely Frida. I love Frida... and her hubby Diego Rivera. Love their art... i taught about them in my Spanish classes. Love your work as well. I'm envious of your drawing skills. You're quite the incredible artist. 💐🤗

I love the character of the lines The Tjanting in the print. Sometimes sharp, some fuzzy. Like the lines are somewhat 3D here and there. From experience I know that working with a Tjanting is not easy without getting splatters. I worked with Batikwax on fabric using potatostamps and brushes . Great invention Mark, beautiful prints !! Thanks for the video.

Wow! What an ingenious idea! Thanks for sharing it.

Don't worry about repeating yourself - I love seeing it again to remember how you do the various techniques! This is lovely!

Love this! You are awesome. Love how you are unafraid to push the materials!

Ahhh Frida, my muse...she just keeps on giving. Bx

Absolutely stunning!! #chants 'more Frida, more Frida'!! 🙏

Love the newspaper Frida!

Wow. Not sure what else to say! Wow! Wow! Wow!

This is a really fantastic and helpful video. I thought I've watched all of your videos & I don't know how I missed seeing this one??? Your "experiments" with the gel plate are really right up there & on a par with with some really well known and quite famous artists. Some of your work really needs a gallery exhibition. I am not saying that lightly or in any way a joking manner. In the meantime just please keep making KZfaq videos!

I think the buff worked out better than the white would have. You have an amazing talent.

Cours Magistral sur le transfert pour de Superbes impressions de la Divine Frida!!! Merci pour ce magnifique partage, très inspirant!

Awesome! How many ways can Mark expand the uses of the gel plate? Love the results of this experiment. I agree about the impact of the simplicity of the second print, but I was so struck by the way you ripped that yellow background bit in the first one. Really, in however many videos you have done on using the gel plate, you have shown us more than all the other KZfaq videos combined. If you ever decide to do an online course, sign me up!

Hi Mark, this is a wonderful technique and a beautiful result. You can still change the background when you paint over it in the last print. I like it when you repeat yourself over and over again:)). It's a good way to learn from you. But the videos will be longer for you. You are a wonderful artist. Thank you for sharing and the work you do. Take care. Gabi:)

I recently discovered your channel and it's a wonderful resource to stimulate my creativity. I'm learning so much, so please continue the excellent work.

Wow, batik wax as a resist?!! You are stretching what I never imagined a gel print do, thank you again for squeezing my creative juices.

Absolutely beautiful. Your quick hand sketch of Freida is amazing. Talent!! Love the idea of batik with gel press. I think I shall try to binge watch you today. Thank you for sharing.

Another technique to explore, excellent work 👍

Ooh not seen the Batik equipment before. The line quality is really expressive. Those big Frida prints worked well. Gesso can tone down the newsprint if you wanted to work on that one more. I see you have found yet another use for masking tape... Cleaning excess paint from the plate. 👍 Glad the videos are back. It's definitely been too damned hot for a lot of things. Tfs

as ever, thanks for this, so exciting and SO well delivered!

Once again you create amazing art experimenting and pushing the envelope. You inspire so many to just see what will happen without worrying about perfection, even though you do pretty much accomplish fantastic end results in your artistic explorations. I believe that you have practiced and explored so much in your creativity that you do make it look easy, however, these videos really show that your experiment today has thousands of hours/years in the making to produce your art now. When someone asks you how long does it take to create a painting or print....you can safely answer... my life up until today! Thank you so much for so generously sharing your gift of art and the joy of creating the same. You are a treasure.

I always thoroughly enjoy your vids !!!!! Thankyou so much for sharing your talent and curiosity with us all. Cheers from Australia!

Love more complex Frida image! Terrific - I love how your process is so intuitive, and leads you on to try other techniques incorporating other skills luv, luv, luv! -- (None of my beezwax, but I don't think you should worry about being repetitive in your 'tubes.' Folks like reminders . . . I do. Content is a baffling concept . . . )

Love all your work. Your creativity abounds. Thank you for sharing!

Fabulous technique and results. Thanks for this,

Wonderful printing! That's a pretty big gel plate! The right size for art. Great work!

I just got here, I’m so glad I found your channel. Your work is fantastic! Thank you!

Just to echo other comments here. Your work is so inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing your creativity.

Awesome. As always. And so clearly communicated. Thanks very much.

Wow! So inspiring. Thank you for sharing your techniques. So many ideas in that one video to try!

Vous êtes incroyable,une révélation pour moi.Un talent fouuuuuuuuuu.BRAVO 👏👏

Brilliant, i love this combination of drawing/line with colour. Thank you!

The wax drawing of Frida is wonderful. Great prints. Love the simple one in blue ink best. Thanks for sharing the technique.

So fun and inspiring to watch!

Fascinating and exciting and great results! TFS the inspiration!

Love your work. Great videos of an artist at work.

Thanks for sharing. Wonderful work and resources! 🙂

All your videos are great! You encourage me to just have a go and experiment without worrying about the outcome. You are a talented and inspirational artist. Thank you so much. 😃

Inspired once again! Thanks!

I love your exploration of the gel plates. Truly inspiring for me!

I recently learned that you can apply a very small amount of diluted dish soap to your plate and it will keep thin water-based mediums from breaking into little bubble-blobs... (They were printing with water colours!)

Thank you! Stunning!

Thank you so much for sharing this. The last print was so lovely.

I really enjoy your artistic style as well as your videos. Great work!

Loved this. Thanks Mark

ảm giác như mk đang đc nghe 1 bản nhạc chữa lành vậy đó. Giọng hát của đp rất đặc biệt, nhẹ nhàng tình cảm. Xem video thôi đã hay ntn r, ghen tị vs ekip qaa nghe hát live chắc hay gấp 💯lần lunn

I'm always so inspired by your videos, but this one blew me away completely! So creative and the line quality you are getting is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing your work and process, you are so generous with the information you share. One idea for applying the wax to detailed areas, have you tried an Ukrainian egg dyeing accessory called a Kistka? They are very fine miniature Tjanting like tools. There are several sizes and the lines they achieve are very thin and fine. I'm so excited to try this process, thanks again!

Great texture and experimentation and thankyou

Thank you for sharing what you do. You have a unique approach and I find so much of what you do to be inspiring! I love gel printing, I've been obsessed with batik since I was a teen and before I knew what it was, playing with a tjanting is something I've not done but always wanted to do, I love wax resist printing, and Frida! What a Venn diagram lol Even when you paused to show the paper catching your wax drips I thought ooooh, nice texture for a resist print!

I’m working also with the gel pres. What you do with it, give me the best inspiration to improve my technique. Thank you so much for your great tutos. 🎨🤩

You are an incredibly talented artist. I love what you do. This is wonderful!

Thank you again Mark you are soooooooo talented and modest with it ! I just love your ideas and the results are second to none 😊

your levele of talent is always amazing to me I really enjoy watching and even if its the same techniques it is never boring watching your process I really like the newsprint collage on the Frida print even if you were not so sure I felt it was a great print anyway.

I’m thinking about trying thick tin foil, the restaurants’ grade, emboss it with a ballpoint pen and print.

Love your videos! I am new to gelli printing and your work inspires me to try all of your techniques! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!

Fantastic!

Very cool

Beautiful. I really love your work. ❤️🌠🙂

Fab-u-lous tutorial. Thank you.

love it .. thx so much .. lot's of new ideas pop up now in my head .. got to go my gelli NOW!!

EXTRAORDINARY! Love everything you created - just BEAUTIFUL! MUCH Love & Respect.... Deborah

Sorry, I meant to say Liquitex Liquid Gel Medium. All the others are readily available.

Thank you. You are so inspirational.

Buddie! I love watching your stuff. When you say, " I've done this technique before so I don't want to bore ya" I'm saying no go ahead It's fine lol.

Love it! Thank you for this tip.

Merci de partager,votre travail.C’est inspirant

Wonderful. Thank you

Fantastic work.

Es perfecto!!!!! Muchas gracias.

Fabulous!

Fantastic!!❤❤❤

Incredible drawing and print Yeates!!

Just fascinating

Absolutely fabulous 👍💯

I’ve never seen that Frida photo. Thanks for for sharing it, it’s beautifully expressive, which is odd because her face is hidden, as if … not sure, maybe as if she’s shielding herself from the camera’s intrusive gaze. Will have to see what I can find about it.

This is so great! I love your creative approach to printmaking especially with the gelli plate. Thanks for another awesome tutorial!❤

Wish I had 1% of your talent 😄so interesting never heard of a tjantine

Lovely technique.

Fabulous!💋

Magnifique!

I've been binge watching your video's since I stumbled across you online, I'm a professional artist so to see a tool I always associated with craft elevated like this is beyond exciting!! (also a massive Frida fan), I work in oil and cold wax, encasutic , upcycled textiles and mixed media collage, so you understand my excitement :) I'm teaching myself lino and gel printing so your content is perfection... THANK YOU.

That’s just gorgeous. I have to confess though, call me strange, but I loved the second drawing as you were showing us where’d you’d batiked. Just those small crayon details & shading, with the shiny batik lines - I would have happily framed that, no further work necessary! As for the weather - omg! I’m in mid-Norfolk and we’ve not just been melting in the heat, but it’s dryer than the Sahara. One day of rain in about 3 - 4 months. 🙁

Tjan Ting sounds like a middle class English crustie/ traveller ' Trustafarian ' names from the early 1980' s from my far left activist says 😂😂 PS..I' m addicted to watching your experiments in print.it's 3am & I entered this NHS hospital 4 mths ago & then contracted C ovid & nearly snuffed it...drawing whilst I' he been in the isolation unit has kept me semi.sane..that & very strong opiates 😂

Nice!!!!

I’ve been blasting through all your videos! Really enjoying learning the techniques and also seeing the output . You are “the few, the proud” doing high quality art on KZfaq. Wondering if you’d share other art channels you find inspiring?

Hello loving and being inspired by your work. I'm a big fan of the Gelli Plate and experimenting with it. Can I use Oil Pastel as opposed to Crayons with plate? Thank you Tracey

Great

очень круто! Спасибо!

🥰🥰🥰🥰

Brilliant work, just beautiful. You are so talented. About how long did you let the wax cool before transferring to the plate?

Great! You can use an electric kistky (used for pisanki, Ukrainian easter eggs).

Your favorite is mine too

New subscriber here, just dropping a note to say how much I am enjoying your channel and all the experimental works you're creating. I'd love to know what you consider "must have" tools for fully exploring the gelli plates and what you favorite brands of media are. Thanks for such excellent videos!

Wow! That was so good, your drawings are just incredible. Do you have any tips on how to get that express look? My drawing feel tight.
