👍🏻😊

Not starting sentences with “OK…so…” would also be a nice ice touch 😉

Have you been watching Vinh Giang ?????ha ha🎉

Used to teach..why add distraction and interference to get the point across 🎉❤😂 retired 😊

I agree

Thanks. Glad you found it helpful.

Thanks, glad it’s helping you pass the time! Hope you recover soon!

Very welcome

@@sandrakroon7837 thanks

Thanks. Glad you like it.

You are so welcome!

Agreed!

I knew the image choice would split the pack! 🤣

Thank you so much 😀

Thank you. I agree Yeates makes is amazing, watching and learning from his videos helped me a lot when I first started doing gel printing.

Avec plaisir 😊

You are so welcome!

Thanks, glad you like it. 👍🏻

Thanks. I do love a clown! 🤡

All clowns are sinister.

@@fruitlessbeast yeah I suppose so, sinister is cool though!

Yes like you I’m not interested in the bought stencil side of things and I’m not interested in journaling either so my approach has always been in the directing of creating actual art prints rather than just making collage and backing paper stuff. I hope your friends are safe and well. Mine is a new channel so I’ll be trying to upload more content soon. Thanks for watching.

@@gelwithmark it will be a while before we know, I think. They are in Little Rock which has pretty much had a major disaster and all power lines seem to be out. I got back to see your corn flower resist, amazingbresult,mand the overall colours are fantastic. Clowns are rather spooky in general aren’t they? So,I think you caught that well… I particularly liked the way you got a clean pull at the end. I have been leaving things for longer time and till they felt drier, as My plate seems to do better that way, and feel drier paper leaves fewer tears. You have many layers of paint etc and still manage 5he pull, and basically you are using a similar technique to artists who painted on glass in the past, but there’s a greater chance what you do will survive because you have better materials. They were every bit as skilled as artists working in oils, but support was so fragile in every way. The back to front method also reminds me of the celluloid miniatures of the 19th century, every tiny highlight and detail painted first, I enjoy the fact that such techniques have morphed into contemporary expression! And of course that your original drawings can be reused and reworked if you want. Thanks for packing so much in…. And for sharing it all.

Thanks

It’s fairly straightforward once you get your head used to thinking that way. 😊

My pleasure 😊

You are so welcome!

Thanks. Glad it’s starting to make a bit more sense for you.

Thanks

Thanks glad you like it.

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks

Thank you for your kind comments, they mean a lot.

My pleasure. Thanks for watching.

Thank you.

Oh merci beaucoup !

Thanks so much 😊

😂

Thank you. I will say that since doing this video I’ve tried this technique quite a lot and I feel you can get better tonal values if you draw your image onto paper rather than tracing paper as you can build your layers of charcoal up more on the paper. Try both tracing paper and paper and see what you think.

Thank you . Glad you liked it.

Thanks. The last colour depends on the look that I want to achieve really. You have to think of it in terms of what you put down first will be at the forefront of your image. Once you have that in mind it’s pretty straightforward when it comes to your ordering.

Thank you. No problem.

Thank you. Glad you found it informative.

Hope you enjoy

I’m sorry I must have missed your question, I do try and reply to all my messages, so I’m sorry again.

My pleasure, glad it’s working out for you.

I have done 2 charcoal image transfers, and love them. Thanks again.@@gelwithmark

@@cherylchivers4021 great 😊

I mainly use baby wipes but for more stubborn stains I put a good few drops of mineral oil onto my plate give it a good massage with my fingers then leave it a few minutes or so then wipe it off with a soft cloth and that generally does the trick, if I still have staining I just repeat the oil application and do it again. Hope that helps.

Hand sanitizer also cleans the plate safely and very well.

@@janc6495 thanks, good to know.

I think with small amounts of paint left on the plate, can be attributed to a few things, yes it might be that it just needed a touch longer to dry, it could also come down to in that particular area it may have been applied a bit thinner and actually dried a bit quicker before the paper went down, do you add a weight to the top after the paper is down? If not the paper may not have been fully in contact with those areas, is your paper slightly textured, that could have a slight impact too! I sometimes get a few small areas that seem to grab and hold onto the plate. If when I’m pulling and I notice in time, I can sometimes prevent the rip by simply changing the direction of the pull. Also I now pull the plate from the paper instead of the paper from the plate, that way I can see more quickly if I’m having parts sticking. Hope that helps.

Yes I’ve tried these techniques before that you mention. 👍🏻

The way I work on the gel plate is in a reverse method because I like to just pull the whole image in one go, instead of pulling each individual layer so because of this I have to work backwards meaning the first marks that I put onto the gel plate ie the details, is what will be on the top of the stack of layers on the finished print so to speak. It may be easier to think of it like making a homemade pizza, normally you have the pizza base then you add the sauce then the cheese then the toppings right? But we are making something upside down, in a sense, so you would 1st put the toppings down on the backing tray then add the cheese then the sauce and finally the base. Does that make more sense in the mind?? Let me know

So then when you flip it back over the pizza is in the right layered order.

I used the gel medium to pull the print as the layers had dried on the plate compared to the first video whereby I did the charcoal transfer then I just pulled with one layer of colour. You always need a wet layer to pull the print whether that is acrylic or medium.

Thanks. Yes the cornstarch causes the patchy grungy background as it resists in different areas of each colour layer added.

Thanks can you give me an idea of what type of process you are wishing to learn?

im just not that good at understanding the geli plate. im currently youtubing a bunch of videos on how this works@@gelwithmark

@@therealtiki well I would suggest just starting of simple with one or two layers and then building upon that once you have a basic understanding.

😊

Acrylics are the easiest medium to use but you can use gouache and watercolours, watercolour is definitely the hardest due to the water content which reacts to the plate s material. You can also use printing ink as well. Paper should be dry not dampened.
