Older artist here, losing my eyesight. Decided recently to try working with a gelli plate, not knowing much about it, and stumbled on your channel. you're opening new possibilities for me and I can't tell you how grateful I am.

@yeatesmakes 11 ай бұрын

Hi there - very glad the videos are helping out. I reckon working on the bigger plates may be accessible if you're struggling with your eyesight. I did a video on big oil pastel drawing transfer that might be useful to you. Remember, Turner did his absolute best work when his eyesight got too strained for detail - not just HIS best work, but some of the best and most groundbreaking work ever made : ) xxx

The state of your gel plate adds texture to your creations. I’m so jealous I can’t draw like yourself 😂

I am revisiting gel printing from my high school days. Back then we made our own plates. I'm so excited to find your tutorials! I want to do my own art. So many of the other channels gear more towards card making or just photo transfers. This is really inspiring! Thank you!

I love all the great things you do with everyday supplies. And then you go on to mash the techniques together to make even more amazing art. Fabulous videos! I bought a pack of foam printing plates that look like cardstock but hold a line even better. They don't wear out like the cardstock. I've made small texture plates with them but you are inspiring me to go big!

@yeatesmakes 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Robin, that's a lovely comment, thanks. It's been really important to me to use accessible and, where possible, cheap materials. The basics - gel plate / brayer / paint cost enough as is, so I've been avoiding all the fancy pants pre cut stencils and what not.

So glad you started this channel… again, using the pen like this is a great way to test drawings and work through ideas before scratching and inking up drypoint plates. Great to see all your ideas and experiments… can’t wait to see what happens next… kindest regards Sharon.

@yeatesmakes 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Sharon, lovely to read your comments as always. As you've noted, this could be a great way to check potential of a drypoint idea, especially as you can photocopy and make little amendments so quickly. You can't get that lovely fine quality of line you get from a dry point but it's pretty good and a lot less mess!!!! Sure I've said it in other videos, but I'm getting a lot creatively from the channel too : )

Your experiments take the gel plate to exciting levels. I like the originality you put into your art without using all the store-bought stencils and such. That is real art to me. To be a free thinker and use what is around you and see what works. My question: What is the best way to clean the plate with the mediums you use, like, crayon, pastels, charcoal, ect...I have an old plate. I used charcoal on it but the ghost is still on it. Thanks for sharing your techniques, intriguing to watch.
