Love these videos Mark - thanks for sharing your work and knowledge, it's much appreciated.

If you trace the image out on the back of the emboss sheet beforehand with oil pastel or crayon, then emboss as normal with a sheet of paper underneath, you get a second (semi-embossed) copy of the image with a different resist. I've had some really good results with double printing/overlaying the same image.

Your videos help me being myself

Oh, my! D'you know how some people spend hours on end just watching videos of puppies and kittens? Well... I have been spending hours and hours, and more hours just watching Your videos!! I really cannot even find the words, it's like there is no adjective that might actually fit the part to describe it, you, your art -you get it, right? Thank you may just not be enough but... THANK YOU!!!!!!! 🏆

Please keep posting videos!

Amazing, amazing, amazing. Thank you!!!

Just what I was looking for! Thanks 😊

Absolutely fantastic. Thanks so much

So inspiring to watch your work

This process gives drawings a whole new expression. The framing and subject choice is also inspirational. Thanks for another great video👍

So creative ! You should do a sketchbook flip through one day.

Great video - love your approach with the gel plates

Happy New Year baby. Looking forward to 2023 videos.

Its magic ❤❤❤❤❤

Another gelli plate award winner showing how much possibilities there are! Love it

😀

More good tips and tricks from the art desk of Yeates Makes!

Love this! You spark my imagination. I know that with your teaching I can produce Art! Thank you!

👁👁👍love your work.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The most creative gelli printing I have ever seen

I love your creativity!

Thank you for sharing!

I tried this last night, a simple line drawing of a sumo wrestler, and it worked brilliantly. I did some painting directly onto the plate which worked 'kinda' well, but for the fact that my gel elf plate mysteriously was resisting the paint. Not sure if it was residue from the baby wipe or what, it's new to me. Thanks for linking me to this one!

❤This was awesome

thank you for exploring and sharing this ink embossing technique. i used it today and absolutely love the outcome and endless possibilities with figures, faces, mark makings, patterns and so much more. awesome and gives many options . great method too to use for my quick sketches turns em into great prints of art. im able to edit or embellish with acrylic pens on the plate or directly on the print. fun, creative inspirational, liberating

I love these prints I" m going to try this technique.

Really enjoyed watching this with my 11yr old grandson. a budding artist. Thanks.

I really appreciate your approach to experimenting with the gel plate! I learn a lot and feel encouraged.

I ❤ it

Thank you for another demonstration. You are really showing me the possibilities with this plate, and I’m so thankful.

Always exciting to watch your gel plate progression through the weeks past. 😮

Wow thanks for another demo, this gell plate is such an amazing invention, the possibilities are endless with yeates Makes!

Wonderful. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you so much for this demo! I have tried this technique before with LACKLUSTER results. Your series of images that show the steps, the adjustments to make and "tricks" like using the book, along with all your methods of troubleshooting are most helpful! An attendee to my mixed media class shared this with me today, and I am very glad to have witnessed it.

Thank you Mr Yeates, I've been trying to pull a good print for ages, thanks to your help and my persistence, I've got it

Thank you!

Awesome

Absolutely love this! Off to give it a go myself

Great thank you for sharing. I have had several attempts using laser prints of my silhouette photos with minimal success, I think this approach will prove successful. Cheers

This great, thanks.

Love this

❤️❤️Happy New Year....love coming by your Tube and discovering what new delights you have for us...thank you ! Xx

Great stuff 👍🏼 Thanks ✨

😲😲😲😲😲 FANTASTIC!!!!! Your videos is the shiz nizz!!!!!🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🤘

How fun

I teach art and have used gel plates for years and I have never before seen this technique. The Gelli Plates possibilities never cease to amazing me. Thank you for all the steps, techniques and tips!

Love watching you … each step. Thank you for sharing….Happy New Year!

Thank you

Just watching you draw is mesmerizing let alone the teaching you impart. Wow is all I can say!

Thanks a lot for the great video and for doing this for us! Have a good start to the new year…

Really nice job with this technique! Also, a reminder of a couple of things, for me. First, this is a great demonstration of how much character of its own a printmaking technique confers. Unlike many (myself most definitely included), your drawings are always lovely. However, even for those of us with less-highly developed drawing skills, printmaking processes seem almost always to add a level of presence and liveliness to imagery. It's odd that simplifying the more spontaneous line quality of a sketch, as this embossing technique does, should somehow make the line /more/ engaging, but it surely seems to, to my eye. The other thing this video reminds me about is the value of drawing mundane items. I always feel like, "Why bother? Does the world really need another drawing of a pencil jar? And for that matter, does it /need/ another drawing of anything?" The result is that I don't draw the pencil jar, or anything else. This is an ongoing debate within me, at a 20,000-foot view. But when I see your drawings, they are evocative of something more than the existence and likeness of the objects you draw. There's something almost haunting in them. Another reason to draw such items, of course, is that I'd at least be /drawing/. Drawing anything sharpens observation and awareness. It also sharpens drawing skill, as well, which could come in handy if I ever do reconcile that inner debate and decide that there is something worth my taking the time to draw. Thanks for the reminders of why it's worth doing! (And sorry for the melancholy. The sun is south, the days are short, the clouds dense.)

Amazing! I'm simply amazed by your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your experience 🥰 I really underestimated the usefulness of a gelli plate before seeing your videos. Thank again and happy art making to you! ✨️

Love this technique and the “every day found” objects as subjects! The tennis shoes are very cool. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I never tire of watching your process. I learn and understand so much more each time I view one and am always inspired to give it a try, Thank you for always sharing.

Love it! 🧡

your projects are so inspiring! ANd super use of a sketchbook....making me look forward to using mine 😍

👍 top video again, thanks for all the good ideas you're sharing, happy and creative New Year

Thx 4 the rabbit hole !!!!! I embossed on 300gsm Bristol leaning on dense cover board. Lasted amazing but line too perfect. Experimented with textured paper 2 pull off. Wonderful day cheers !!!!!

Love it! Thanks ❤️

I absolutely love the way you are combining your sketches with the gel plate. I can't wait to try it

So cool!

Thank you for the demo! Fascinating technique. Love your work.

Absolute master at sketching and great transfer results… happy new year🎉

Absolutely fabulous. Brilliant artwork as usual 👍💯 Wishing you and yours a happy New Year 🎇🎉🎆

Wonderful!!

Hi Yeayes, thank you so much for all the tutorials, for sharing your skills, your creativity. I love all you do. I cannot stop watching your videos. I think, I'm getting Adicted to you 😊🥰

Thanks for another great video. Can't wait to try this out!!

Love this demonstration. You are an excellent instructor. Great artist as well!

Another great demo! Love what you do!!!

Thank you Yates Wish U a great year

Your creativity really shows you think outside the box. ❤

Love your pieces it is great to find artists that use the gelliplate for actual art to see their different methods/techniques.

Thanks for the video, I just did this with a simple sketch of a scallop shell, and it worked flawlessly. I haven't done any geli printing for months, and really never felt like I "got it". Till today. Cheers!

Great technique, I love the results. More, please. Happy New Year!

Awesome pieces. Thank you for sharing. Can't wait to give this a go tomorrow..

I appreciate that you are working somewhat slowly, showing goofs, working with goofs, sharing your experiments and narrating so clearly. I'm new to using gel plate printmaking and can't wait to try this! One thing I tried recently was soap as a resist. It was pretty good. I think making sure not to apply too much pressure to transfer is where I need to play some more.

These are excellent!! Your sketchbooks are fantastic.

💖💗💓

Great to watch as you investigate and refine an idea. ✍️🖍️🖌️🎨

So fun and love the book weight. I use a book for most of my transfers after giving a good rub. It helps me to leave the piece alone for a while. I have found that a good art history book works better than a history of civilization. Must be the subject matter.😊

I love the expression of line and composition fabulous artist. I learned a lot.

Absolutely fabulous! Well also quite relaxing to watch too. Gonna give it a try. Thank you for sharing.

Wow, the converse style shoes turned out GREAT!

Fabulously inspiring!! Not only the technique but your drawings of everyday items are wonderful.

Your skills with drawing and printing are magical ! The sharing of your tips , successes , and failures is very generous. Much appreciated ! Happy experimenting in the New Year

Love the look this technique gave you. Definitely going to try!!! Thanks for sharing!

Love how these 2 technics work together! Looking fwd to playing around with these on my gel plate. I’ve tried embossing with foam stuff and I’ve tried wax resist but this is something else altogether! 😮 Thanks a lot 👌

Love the results of combining these techniques, and the framing is so on point and brings even more life to these prints! Thank you for sharing the mishaps as well, it's always so useful to see how others approach them and their solutions. Would love to see a compilation of your favorite inspirational art books/graphic novels too, I think it would be a really interesting collection.

Thanks for the detailed explanations. You take the guesswork out of gel print transfers.

luvin' your style and well explained vids. Super entertaining and educational. Good to see some originality out there with these gel plate ctyles. Go you!!

Happy New Year!🎉 Great video!

Happy New Year Yates! Always a joy to view your videos!! So glad I found you on Utube! You are a teasure!!! I will definately use this!!

Dear Mark, Thanks for this great video. inspiring and instructive. Always feels like a present !! Have a good end of year and best wishes for the year to come, good health for you and family and hopeful, lots of creative pleasure !

Thank you so much I really really enjoyed watching you experiment with your sketches and the Gelli plate….. great result’s and so interesting too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags

Pardon my understanding! Its a Biro brand pen. The first commercially available all point pen. An English Company! Fantastic!

One of these days I'm going to have to sit down with your vidoes and try these things. My art group has tried several times to do the magazine and copy resist techniques and we were met with utter failure.

Love this technique! so cool, and how he left the one with some setbacks and how to fix it :)

very good.

I'm definitely goi g to give this a try! Happy New Year Mark!

Thank you so very much for this Video I did really learn a lot. Could you kindly continue to share your experiences. Thank you (sorry for my poor English)
