I’m glad it worked out. I appreciate all the work you do on these videos and feel you are a kindred spirit because I’m experimenting constantly.

i love the way you explore gellis… so different from everyone. thank you!

Lee jeffries is fantastic an a real inspirator for drawings, indeed! Thank you for all the ideas how to use the gel plate!!!👏🏼👍✍️

Just bought a gel plate and started fooling with it. Your videos have been a huge inspiration for where to go with it. Thanks so much and please keep up the good work!

This is so inspiring and informative. Thank you for sharing your talent and enthusiasm.

Thanks to Engelhafen for this suggestion! Excellent idea! All three of these works are lovely, but the one with the colored layers is spectacular! I think if you used carbon paper or a product called Saral for your transfer, you could deepen your emboss a bit as you transferred, rather than having to flatten it with the graphite rubbing on the back. Besides being an Indian food brand as well as a cooperative Indian/French space agency initiative, Saral is a chalky, non-waxy, near-equivalent to carbon paper, available in multiple colors (including graphite), depending on the color of the surface to which you are transferring. A 12" roll, 3 feet long, costs about US $12, at Dick Blick. A 12-foot roll is available at the online behemoth rain forest retailer, for a dollar or three more. I assume Saral (or some equivalent) is available across the pond. The short rolls seem pricey, to me; but it does go a long way because each piece you tear off can be used multiple times, as with carbon paper. Push come to shove, however, you could use graphite rubbing and still preserve your original emboss by applying the graphite to a different piece of tissue or other very thin paper, placed under your embossed sheet. If you required more accuracy, for some other use, tape it in place. Thanks for another great video and the gorgeous art you add to our world!

I like the last one you did the best. Just enough free flowing color to add a little bit of life to the image.

I thought it was over after the first pull. Every one was even more astonishing. I know when something is great when I gasp at the pull. This was a three gasp video. You are amazing.

Your “experiments” are simply cool…(that coming from this 78 year old)

beautiful. really like the third one, with the all the colour.

Thank you, that's a good tip - I will try 😃. I always have problems with Laserprint-transfer on gleliplate, my results are faint, not intensive enough. My ruse is to use your ballpoint-embossing-technic for the important lines on the laserprint. So I get a print which is a mixture of drawing-transfer (ballpoint) and transfer of tones of the laserprint in one process.

thank you for introducting Lee Jeffries ,His work is so emotinal ♥️also great tip

Great tip. Each print interesting and exciting. Love the marker one especially. Bx

All fab as usual, but I really loved the last one.

Great tip indeed ! Thanks for the video again, made my sunday breakfast very happy.!

Every time I watch you I am just stunned by your talent... thx for sharing 🤩

Hi Mark- another very interesting experiment. Very good suggestion and a new challenge for you:) Thank you for taking the time to show us this. Gabi x

Omgosh I love this technique 😮 thanks for sharing ❤

I cannot begin to explain how inspirational these videos are. You are a very fine artist and I look forward to more from you.

What a cool technique! I just got a gelli plate and brayer. This excites me even more to start creating!

Always excited when you post new video. This is just so COOL! Your experimental efforts are so enlightening and spur me to keep pushing👍👍👍 Thanks!

I love the last one with the alcohol markers!

Really inspiring great ideas! Thank you so much! I am going to order a gel plate now 🙂

Thank you for sharing these experiments in technique. I enjoyed this very much. The collaboration was a great success 😊

That's FANTASTIC!! I LOVE IT! So great to watch an artist in action, and I really love your ideas and your steps along the way to wonderful finished products! I also love your social conscience. Thanks for sharing your skills will us. 👍🙏❤️

Easter break over, hitting the gel plate on Monday when grand baby returns to school, thanks for more inspiration considering a Monet water lily transfer

Great stuff - I've used your original ballpoint transfer technique, I'll have to try this variation 👍

AMAZING! Well done team 😀

I'm going to try it! Yours turned out great.

I've recently tried using three sheets for embossing. It gives good depth and you can also cover the underneath of the middle sheet in oil pastel, so whatever lines you draw out to emboss on the top sheet transfers to the bottom one - plus the middle sheet also gets embossed, so you can reuse it for an extra couple of lifts.

I love your innovative experimental approach to gel printing. Thank you so much for everything you have posted. You've transformed my perception of what one can do with a gel plate!

Fabulous liberating technique you show here. It could be taken in many directions. I have drawn into wet gesso in the past. Wonder how that would work. I don't think it would be as sharp as ballpoint but it could produce an interesting result on the transfer copy and the gelli plate.

Sos un genio soy de Argentina acá no se vende la placa de gel así que la hice casera tuve suerte y salió bien ahora gracias a tus videos estoy practicando en mí tesis para recibirme de artes visuales estoy usando está técnica me estás ayudando mucho gracias por ser tan generoso y compartir tu saber cariñosssss ❤️👏👏👏😍

That was fantastic. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for demonstrating this, I had no idea I could use the plate this way!

another great video! thank you!

Tried this with my grandson aged 11. He has great patience and concentration and achieved a fantastic result first time! He drew freehand, copying your drawing. Really worked hard on the biro embossing. Thank you again.

I like the alcohol marker print as the faint color is not overwhelming the portrait. Not only do you provide a few different looks you educate about the artists who inspire you. Thanks again.

Wow, beautiful!

So cool! Great inspiration. Thank you!

Wonderful!

Fabulous. Can’t wait to try this.

I found this through Pinterest and really enjoyed watching the experiments and have subscribed to your channel. Can’t wait to see more!

Wow! This is amazing!

Fabulous!

Incredible! Thank you for sharing your experiments.

Absolutely amazing

I bought a geli plate awhile ago and couldn't get any transfer techniques to work. I tried again after watching your videos and had I little better results. But your drawing transfers really inspired me. I was able to get a really good image off of a drawing made with charcoal pencil. It resisted pulling ink off the plate very similar to your pastel drawings. Thanks for posting these videos! They're great instructionals. And your finished work is wonderful.

Love your videos. Thank you.

You're so good. Great video, thank you Mark!

Love it! You’re so inspirational.

That’s fantastic , I watched a video yesterday a guy put a picture under the gell plate then painted the scene on top then used a a canvas on the top and transferred the picture Then added a little more paint to touch up but he used golden open because it has more time to work with ,

I'm an Advanced Prep art teacher (high school), and I plan on showing some of these videos and techniques to my class. Great stuff. Easy to follow, and adaptable to many different art styles and ability levels. Keep up the excellent work!

fantastic!

Wow, that was just wonderful! As always, heartfelt thanks.

Thank you for your great videos

Those were awesome. Great job.

hholy crapington! cool beans, thanks!! love this technique

Great video! Got to try this method, thanks for sharing with us!

I learned so much from your videos. Thanks for sharing this!

Fabulous video. Love the process and the results. Thanks for sharing.

Your experiments are very helpful when wanting to try new techniques myself. Thank you!

This is so inspiring! Just got my gel plate and can't wait to try this. Thank you!

So inspiring!!! Love watching your techniques on the gel plate 👍🏼

Beautiful! You are a good artist - thank you for sharing the development of your processes.

Hi Yeates what a stunning series! Thank you for sharing your techniques.

Another great video. I got quite good prints from the dry ballpoint technique, but my goodness it is inhibiting to have to press that hard! I saw the wet paper technique on Art Prof, but did not think I could do with all the soaking and sloshiness, she also washes her roller, and I cannot mess around with water much, though I loved her results and appreciated her fine art perspecive, as I do yours. I was SO glad to see a drier version! Once more your minimal no fuss approach finds a happy medium for me. I am also very thankful for the heads up on the Amsterdam black, which I will be definitely trying. Am also going to be experimenting with a mix of fast and slow drying acrylics, fast for the under layers, and very opaque and very transparent ones too. For some reason nearly all my golden opens, which are around five years old, are transparent so .I must have had something similar in mind back then for painting, underpainting in fast drying and then glazing, so I am going to see how this does in Gelli print, with landscape to test the process. Also take it slooow, and see whether I can then over print with painted on fast dry opaques. Or even metallics. I have been really liking handpainting the plate so this video of yours sparked of some process ideas as I watched your handpainting bead up a bit. Remembering back I think when I bought these acrylics I had been looking at work made by someone using Perspex and a different kind of printing ink, and I thought it possible to replicate something of that persons process but not the style, as a very home based process rather than a studio one, as I had just become a powerchair user. I forgot till today just how easy it is to forget why you buy art supplies! It is always easier to create in your mind than it is in reality. I really appreciate your no fuss minimum of mess approach, it makes so many things possible. You are already sharing techniques for transparent approaches, so thought maybe the idea that these could be extended might be of interest. I really also enjoyed the Klee and Matisse videos for similar reasons. Thank you too for the idea that the plate is not necessarily a static object!

Those are great ... than you for sharing. That third pull is truly magical.

What a gorgeous work! Thank you for sharing this. I love your art! xxx

Thank you from California for a great demo! I will show it to my students

This is absolutely awesome! I am excited about your Van Gogh as that is my current study.

I love the black background with the white lines also. Fabulous job. Blessings from Canada 🇨🇦

Absolutely LOVE your videos. Thanks for being so generous in sharing your process and your work. 😍

They’re all interesting but wow that final one is fab!

Awesome experiment and love zone sharing and building oFf of what others share and find! Kudos to you both!

Can't wait to try the damp paper! The marker work you did was so great prior to printing

Great ideas!

Wow! That is so cool. TFS

I love your work! Truly creative and artistic! Thank you for sharing.

Great 👍

Just recently started jail plates and have been doing abstracts and landscapes but I love this embossed Printing and will be trying these very shortly I especially love this old man that you've done and I love your work

brilliant...I am a constant experimenter!!!

noticed your peter doig book there for a second, gosh I love that artist so much!

Wow! Worked out so well! All prints are great, especially the last one! TFS the inspiration!

Wow -- so cool.

So good, thanks very much. I am just starting my gel plate adventures and this video certainly expands my plans and ideas for using it. Thanks again

Fabulous

Super gorgeous

It's great to see that you can replicate intaglio printing on a gel plate like this. Good call from Engelhafen 👍

Your videos are SO inspiring! I should be inking new illutrations right now, but all I wanna do and can think about is doing the collage-and-cut technique with all those gorgeous layers and my gelli plate. Thanks so much for sharing your experiments. Just like with ballet I prefer the hard work of the training to the performance.

Wow! LOVE this video so much!! 300 gsm paper is expensive stuff so I am going to try this embossing technique with a watercolor paper that isn't quite as heavy and hope it works, too. I trained aa a printmaker years go focusing on both etching and lithography. I am blown away by the amazing variety of ways you combine materials and techniques so that your prints look so much like traditional etchings. Bravo, Good Sir! Thank you so much!!

So COOL! Oh, B😎Y! Thanks once more!

I tried your technique. Honked up the first pull, I mixed gel medium with acrylic and used too much so half of the pull stuck to the plate. But prints 2 and 3 came out amazingly well. Found a picture of an Archer fish xray which was a good beginner sketch. Thank you for your videos, you are very talented.

If the plate sticks sometimes I have more luck if I keep the paper flat and peel off the plate instead. Lovely prints!

i love your work and have learned alot. I was thinking that maybe if you sprayed your embossed plate with a water proof varnish, back and front, it might make it stronger and it would last longer and you'd be able to clean it with alcohol based hand gel

Omigosh!

Gel medium = genius !

Another wonderful technique. Great prints with very different feel to each. Assume you left the watercolor paper til bone dry on the line 😎 Will now go look up the photographer. Thank you for sharing.

❤ hello from British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦🖐👍❤🌳🚐🌲🎠🎪🎨🖌🦖🌍🤳

Wow
