Last year I did a video on Layers with a single pull that still gets lots of traffic and comments. I wanted to create another video on gel printing step by step so beginners can fully understand the different techniques and start their own experimentation on the gel plate. Gel plate printing is easiest to learn by doing. The more mistakes you make the better you get at it. Your first tries are not all going to be beautiful. Experiment with colors, transparencies, stencils and masks. Find textures around the house or use texture plates. See what tools you like to use best. Also experiment with different paints and papers.
This is a longer video so here are some chapters so you can navigate to the section you want to watch:
0:00 Intro
1:45 The tools you will need
7:37 The Plate
8:12 Papers to use
9:59 Rolling with the brayer
12:29 Mixing colors on the plate
16:00 Layering
23:06 Working with stencils
26:40 Register with tape
38:23 Layering with a single pull
48:37 Today's results
51:30 Transparency in paint
52:20 Thanks for watching

I would like you to know how valuable a resource your videos are. I’ve spent my whole life being an artist. One day two years ago very suddenly with no warning signs I had a retinal detachment in my right eye. After two surgeries and a brutal recovery process, it was unsuccessful and I am blind in that eye. People tell me oh it’s ok you can still see in left eye. Yes this is true, however it has fundamentally changed what I can do and how I do it art wise. It has taken me ages to rediscover myself and my new art personality. Watching your videos has been a blessing to me. I think in this age of super fast social media … perhaps gratitude and appreciation gets lost or shoved to the periphery. You have been pivotal in changing my perspective on my capabilities. I am eternally grateful. Thank you!❤

@SusanCliftonArtist 5 ай бұрын

Thank you, Nessa. That is so sweet. I can't image what you have gone through. I was experiencing wet macular degeneration and they told me if I had waited to see them I would have lost the sight in my right eye. I was very fortunate. I still live with macular and hopefully it will not progress fast. How did you adjust? Are you doing the same type of artwork? I'm sure your work will thrive and you will find a new voice within yourself.

@NessaWolfeMuller 5 ай бұрын

@@SusanCliftonArtist I used to do extremely precise textile arts, where being off a sixteenth of an inch wouldn’t be good. That’s is no longer something I can achieve. I want to switch to graphic arts, mono printing, also I have been making my own art supplies with materials foraged in nature… making paints and paper. I have a long way to go. Mostly it helps to not feel hopeless and discouraged and just keep trying. I see you understand the macular part of eye sight, this was the area destroyed by my detachment.

@cathyrae8323 3 ай бұрын

Nessa. I read about your experience. I don’t know you, but you are a terrific example of recovery. I understand you can’t do the original artwork and you started a new one. Just know that all your knowledge you’ve gained in the past will always be with you. Like a memory of a loved one. It took me many, many years of just any kind of art, but my real love has been collage. Until recently I’ve not had a clue about all the parts that make it wonderful. I’m 71, doing art since I was 3, but just really being able to put it all together. I wish I was younger when I put it all together, but all my past starts and stops are with me, (until my memory goes 😊) lol. All the best to you! And… Susan is the best I’ve found, and I’m so happy I found her. Take good care ☮️

I love your manner of teaching. You are clear and concise. You don’t jump all around the topic making it more difficult to follow. Although I have been experimenting with my plate it is helpful to continue to learn from someone with a lot of knowledge on the subject.

Hi Susan, messaging you from country Victoria in Australia, where we are going into winter. Can't thank you enough for your very excellent beginner's video on gelli plate printing. I especially loved the registration segment with the "ghost" print (like you I favour the non-ghost) exercise. The single pull with multiple layers was also very educational. I belong to a wonderful group of textile artists and was introduced to gelli plate printing through them - they are soooo addictive. I now have my own plate and, with the calm, wonderful approach that you have taken, I am looking forward to creating some lovely images. Currently we are working on exhibition pieces with the theme being "Industrial" and for this I will be printing hills on fabric, pastures and wind farms on fabric and then stitching felted clouds and maybe animals onto my fabric. Your video has helped me enormously so thanks again. Warm regards Alain Louise Howard

Susan, thank you so very much for this tutorial!I have been Gelli printing for a few months, but your video still gave great tips! The chapters were a helpful idea!! At this time I have quite a few prints, but would love a similar, step by step instruction on collaging with them, on paper, canvas and board! Also, I could use instruction on types of collage mediums, I.e. thick body vs. liquid, and how long and when to let the mediums dry. Please, please, please! I really struggled yesterday. Love your work! 🙏🏻

@SusanCliftonArtist 6 ай бұрын

Thanks for tip. I will try on my next collage video to include some tips on adhering the papers during collage. I use mostly Liquitex gel gloss medium. It dries pretty fast. I put it on the surface then add the paper then put more on top. I do not put the medium on the paper. I especially like rice paper for collage. The results are just beautiful. Best of luck.

Your tutorials bring it to a whole nother level and I am eager to begin again with both a homemade plate and an 8 by 10 Gel Press. I love the transparency of watercolors and I will try to replicate that effect in my prints, whole composition prints. I'm subscribed and will be watching your other tutorials for inspiration. Thanks for a tutorial well done.

@@SusanCliftonArtist No, I just followed the formula presented on KZfaq. There are many of them. I also read the comments below them to determine if the formula was successful. I made sure the pan I used had a flat bottom and I cured it at room temperature...no refrigerator. The ingredients together were rather pricey, but I compared the large one I made with the commercial one, and I came out ahead. The one I made years ago lasted a long time. In fact, lasted until I finally had to get rid of it to use the extremely large pan. The one I made now is 11 x 14". I've made a large one because I want to make whole composition prints. Baby steps, I keep reminding myself.

Gelli printing is on my list to try this summer once my semester is over. I love the organic-ness of it.

Super helpful video! I have played with a plate not knowing what I was doing. I used too much paint at first then rolled back and forth and pulled it up! Thanks for this!

Very interesting. One of my crafty KZfaq friends had mentioned gelli printing, so had to come find out what it was. Great tutorial. I like the "not ghost" one of the green/blue/yellow page better too. Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful evening. 🌴😊🌺

The blue and green with the ghost and dark in it was my favourite one. But all were very interesting… a yellow rust and brown would be nice… a pink and purple and little navy would be nice too.

Thank you SO much for your videos! Especially for not requiring a paid subscription! I am going through cancer treatments and due to the chronic fatigue caused by the treatments, I'm stuck at home for at least another 16 long months! Art keeps me sane! Normally, I work with sculpting clay, but have been wanting to learn and focus more on mixed media. Your videos are fantastic and again, appreciated!

Art is healing so just keep it going, stay sane and enjoy to process. sending hugs.
