Re uploaded with missing audio added at end!!! Sorry

Mark, you're my favourite kind of teacher - curious, playful, skilled, and unpretentious. Thank you very much for sharing your creative endeavours here on youtube. It's very much appreciated.

You've definitely raised gel plates from " craft" to a legit artform! Loving it.

Your art capacity will never stop to baffle me… you just come up with the most amazing sketches and transfers and ideas and creativity… WOW 😱can watch you gel printing for hours 🎉

You are AMAZING! thank you! What a treasure trove of techniques I have never seen anywhere else here! THANK YOU!

Thank you. I always enjoy your videos and learn a lot from them. Whether I actually get around to acting on them is a question for another day ❤

Thanks for sharing all of you knowledge with us Mark, it's very much appreciated and very kind of you. Your art work is excellent.

Gelli results are often full of uncertainties. The struggle is interesting. I like the sealant qualities for many types of media such as pastel, charcoal and Sharpie pens. The old dry pastel technique requiring just the right amount of fixative and costly framing with efforts to avoid dust particles left many sets sitting in the drawer. Now beautiful pastel colours can have new life without being dulled in the gelli process. Thanks Mark.

Thanks so much Mark for a huge heart to share your skills and ideas with us, that was awesome!!!

So glad to see you back at it Mark! Thank you for sharing your innovative and experimental artwork. Awesome!

Can I make a recommendation. If you set up an Amazon affiliate link to all the products you use you could make a small commission anytime someone buys from the link. It would also help up because I can't find the craft paper you are talking about it comes up with all different kinds. With the amount of veiws and support you have I'd imagine you'd make a fair additional income. Love your work ❤

Thanks for your amazing tutorials! The gelli plate community in the US is so inspired. ❤

Oh la laaaaa!!! C’est fantastique ! Quel talent. Je suis bluffée à chaque vidéo. Merci du partage, vous êtes un excellent prof et une grande inspiration. 😘👍

There’s a lot of snobbery in the art world generally. I belong to a printmaking cooperative, and they’ve finally recognised the benefits of the gelli plate, and embrace its advantages.

Your videos never disappoint Mark. Great to see how you combine different transfer techniques in the layers.

Great to see another video from you! I love your sketcherly mark-making and creative layering…always inspiring! Thank you for sharing.

I always learn something from your videos

Mark: I sort of lost direction with the gelliplate for a while, but your latest vid along with the previous one about using chalk pastels has energised me again. Lots of different techniques to try. Thanks for the videos, keep 'em coming!

Your art is amazing. And i would definitely not be bored to tears if you posted a long video about the studio:) just saying:)

I would love to see your studio set up process, Mark. Not boring at all!

My favourite art channel on KZfaq. Keep going, Matey 😁👍

Brilliant as usual Mark 😊 I love watching your techniques 😊 Thank you so much for sharing your amazing skills 😊 x

Great video!!! Thx for showing all your techniques. You are so self disciplined at your print work. I learned a lot today. TFS Austin TX USA

I love this technique! Thank you!

Another brilliant video Mark. Ooooos coming from every stage this side of the camera. Thanks for being so generous with your experiments and inspirations, they and you are hugely appreciated!!

Thank you for all your videos and sharing your ideas

My head has exploded with the amount of info you share.

Really really love your technique here

60 yr old, newie to drawing, sketchjng and mixed media. Am really curious to try gel plate experiments. This looks SUCH FUN!! Love your user-friendly, wallet-friendly ideas!!

Never would have thought of using pastels. The softness is wonderful contrast.

When you're short of inspiration, just look at your work and you'll find the motivation to improve.

Agreed! Gel Plates are in a league of their own, and they are certainly more amenable to experimentation, adaptation for a wider variety of styles/effects.

Just always make my heart pound to see the layers come together! Thank you!,👏👏👏👏👊👍

Love this!! Absolutely brilliant! So happy to see a new video from you - I’ve missed your videos!

Thanks for another great video.

Well worth waiting for your next video. As always it is very inspiring

Wow..thanks..glad I bought cheap pastels

Thank you for sharing those very inspiring ideas

This was such a fantastic video showing the process. It’s inspired me to try this for a art piece I’ve been trying to determine the way I wanted to achieve my vision…and I’d already done a bit of playing around with chalk pastels on a printed imaged on paper, but you have given me the perfect answer!! Love your videos and your experiments with gel plates

Your lines are excellent

Love!

Dusting through with chalk pastle: you could use carpenters glass paper to get a 'pool' of dust to blow or sprinkle through your stencil. It's like being back at art school..

Hey Mark, thanks for expressing the Gelliplate love, that all of us here on the grungier side have! Very good explaining too! 💕 from Berlin, 🙋🏻‍♀🎨 Tina

I find using Butcher paper as a cheap paper to use. My uncle used to use it for his parrot cage, When his bird died he gave me a huge roll of it to use an i started using on the plate

Wow. Great video. You explained everything so well, with a lot of information & putting things in context. I am just getting going with gel plate art, as I was attending art college & didn't have time for it. I acquired some equipment, & this artist, Yeates, it a treasure to find for pursuing this art. I am especially thrilled with this particular video, that I happened upon, right as I am about to get back to hands on art (after a lot of studio setup, etc). Wow. This could not have been a more perfect video for the experimentation I want to do. I especially love this combo of drawing/ painting/ printing, & using chalk pastels! Wow. I like to draw with pastels, but the need to fix them & protect them under glass was a total turn off. I felt I had wasted $/ supplies, until now. You just made my day. I think you are doing a superb job in teaching/ putting things in context/ showing which past videos give background instruction. Plus great art & a good spirited artist. I think you are just awesome, & I am totally thankful for you & your videos. Blessings. Peace everyone. Love wins.

Thanks so much. More ideas for my toolbox, enjoy your new space!

Just fabulous!!

Thanks Mark. Im really happy cause your videos and commentary are extremely helpful

I love everything you make and all of your inventive ways to make geliplate work more artistic. Thanks so much gor sharing your ideas

Thank you so much for your explenations. ❤

Your love of experimentation is sensational 🎉 and infactious. I'm always learning something, thanks for sharing😊

I enjoyed watching this. I'll have to get my plate out and play. Thank you.

Always learn so much from your videos. Thanks for all you do to share your knowledge.

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

Marky Eates Art-mind blown😮!!!one more genius technique

Great video, thanks!

Love your art and method of teaching & sharing. Thank you.

I really enjoyed this video 👍

Another fabulous video instruction, Mark.......thank you!!

Thanks Mark. Nice to see a new video. Inspirational as always 😀

I love your work! I have this idea knocking around in my head and you just gave that idea a new layer to add! Thanks!❤

Watching another of your wonderful videos. Please share the size of your BIG Geli plate and other supplies you use in your videos. Thank you.

Thank you for this technique! I love gel printing and always looking for new things to do with it. Can’t wait to try this 😊

Brilliant 😊

Fabulous

This greatfull Thing and Technik inspired me so much ..... thank you 🙏🥰

I was wondering if you had a new video and so happy to see that you do. Your information is so wonderful. You must have been very busy with your art and family. Will have to get out my pan pastels and see what I can do with them.

thanks so much!

I LOVED this! Thank you so much for sharing your ideas.

Another great video, thanks Mark! Now I just to need to remember where I put those cheap chalk pastels... 😁

So good, Mark! Amazing to watch!

Thank you!

Awesome experiment.

Great to see you at it again!

Have you ever thought of using a light coat of casein spray fix over the chalk before pulling the print to avoid smearing? Just an idea…here in US we have a non toxic one called spectrafix

You're back, hurray! And thank you!

Thanks, so grateful to see you again. I will follow you on Instagram. Amazing work, Mark.

Mark, new subscriber here! Found your channel literally this evening...bingeing on your posts now because I loved your unusual supplies video so much 😁 TYSMFS your amazing art and skills with the gelli plate

Wonderful video. I learnt so much. Thanks!

Your videos are amazing! Love your work. Very inspiring 😊

Fabulous! 😊🙏

WooooW

OK Mark, chuffed for waiting.

This was wonderful Mark, am going to try some of these techniques (and watch the cardboard one next) Just followed you on IG too! Yay Thanks so much. P.S. Long videos are never boring! :-)

awesome techniques, inspiring video. Thanks a lot!

🫶your ideas!! 💭Im pondering if you could roll the transfer paint onto something like wax paper and place it face down on the Gelli rather than dotting the paint and rolling over your (carefully engineered soft color) laid stencil?

Hey Mark! I'm fairly new to your channel and have been devouring all your vids. Soooo much good new ideas and inspiration! I wonder if you've played with thick paint vs fluid paint on the gelli plate? The thick body paint or paint mixed with a thicker medium leaves a raised bit of design. Then when you use the more fluid acrylics it makes a different sort of affect. Just wanted to pass that on for you to play with! I imagine you'll do a lot of fun stuff with the different reliefs you can pull. Theres also stamping directly on the plate with a pigment stamp ink, like a Stazon ink pad. That being said you can also use alcohol based markers like Sharpies! Very fun for new Marks and layers in your gelli prints. Hopefully you find some new stuff to play with there! I cant wait to see more new videos! Keep going!! 👍😎

Fab

Bravo c’est très joli ce que vous faites j’ai une question technique, vous avez jamais de problème de bulle d’air sous votre gel plate si oui, quelle technique envoyez-vous pour les enlever ? Merci de votre réponse et encore félicitations pour votre travail.❤

HI Mark Thanks so much for showing us how to create images on the plate other than just ending up with heaps of collage papers!. I have a few questions: How hard are the pastels you use? I have soft pastels, conte and conte pencils as well as harder pastels. I'm wondering if the bleeding I am experiencing is because the pastels are too soft? Also, have you tried printing with sidewalk chalk or blackboard chalk? When you use the gel medium are you waiting for the paint layer to dry first or going straight in? Its a bit hard to tell from the speeded up video. Thanks for the time you take and the clear explanations.

Did you show you gellplate works in the exhibition last weekend ? Did people like them ? Great viseo again ! Inspiration ! Thank you Mark.

Thanks so much for sharing! Love your videos. Can you tell me what paper you use? You talk about leaving things for a long time, so I imagine it’s pretty heavy duty paper!

Is the chalk pastel sealed on both sides with the acrylic? When it lifts would not the side that does not have the acrylic base be open

Hi Mark, wonderful videos! Wondering if you have tried combining the chalk pastel technique with the biro etching? So rather than a layer of paint and applying the biro drawing to leave the image on the gel plate... do you think you could have a layer of chalk pastel and then apply the biro drawing and leave the image with pastel lines? That could then be printed?

Hi there, thanks for the vid. When you say "gel medium", what exactly do you mean?

Cordial saludo, ¿Cual es el tipo de papel que usas? Gracias👍😀

Does the pastel stay put on the print or does it have to be sealed so it won't rub off?

MERCI, je vais devoir sérieusement me mettre à l'anglais pour mieux apprécier vos commentaires :)

Love your viseo's! Do you use matt or glossy medium?
