This is my early journey into printing on a large gel plate (16x20). I've been gel printing for many years but never this large, until I went through a hard season losing my husband to brain injuries. I came across Fulton Sim at @artwhisperer88 who inspires many of us with his retro minimalist printmaking sometimes inspired from other modern art masters.
I'm inspired by Fulton, but going my own way of exploration with printmaking in an effort not to copy him. I hope I inspire you in some small way, too. If I can do this creative life, so can you. Remember, Dreams Never Die.

Stunning results Kate! The first print reminds me of the Native American art of the Pacific Northwest with its strong graphics and bold colors, and the peaceful ocean blue background.

Thanks so much, Fulton. I am from Choctaw Native American heritage. This is meaningful to me & perhaps, why strong graphics appeal to me. 🌿🌿

I'm really enjoying the variety of marks in your prints, particularly the variety of masks you use. The more linear ones have alerted me to new possibilities. As with ArtWhisperer88, I often feel you cover over some of your best results. While all of these prints are quite nice, to my eye, the white, buff, and ochre print, with a few black marks (43:00 in summary section) is the best of those you made in this episode. Lovely, subtle, and yet quite rich in varied tints and marks. But in any case, I appreciate your sharing your process, techniques, and all your lovely work!

@KateWordArt Год назад

Thanks so much for your comments and observations! I understand what you mean, subtleties, tone on tone, minimal marks. I'm learning much from Fulton, but starting to make my own way, which is different from his. I'm slowly finding courage to step into the deep. Thank you again for your input.

@@KateWordArtat about 39 min..when you lay in the two blue horizontal stripes…. If you had of let that layer dry completely..… then roll a full wet layer (maybe the same as that top Pale colour)… over the whole plate..then lay paper over this “wet” layer…..press down well…now let it sit overnight… When it is completely dry you will be able to pull up everything off the plate …it will be spotlessly clean. I recon you will love the result. Try it with a small square on the bottom of your plate if it feels too much to do a whole large plate… cheers ❤

@@KateWordArtjust a note that’s Yellow Ochre is an Earth pigment… and in not transparent. It is opaque… Amsterdam I think has now made a transparent one, in general it has always been opaque.

@KateWordArt Месяц назад

@@jdmosaics Neena, you're correct, of course. YO is opaque. I often mix it with satin glazing medium when I'm painting, and that makes it more transparent. The colored stencils/masks I used at that time were mylar or plastic subject dividers. Peace 🌿

Hey I just joined your channel on you tube. Saw your work for the first time. And it is so beautiful. I heard you say you make a lot of your own designs to put on the geli plate. I haven’t done this yet I really want to. So what do you make your patterns out of. I just love it. You are very different than others. And I love the way you do it. I know you have a lot of different painting together. Just awesome. But I would love to know what your patterns are made of. And like I said I have never done this. I have just received my first geli plate. It’s a 8 by 10. I do journals. Hadn’t been doing them long. But your work sure is awesome. Thanks for putting it on you tube for us to see your beautiful work. Thank you.

Thanks, Teresa, for your enthusiastic comments. I apologize for my tardy reply as I've been in hospital for tests. My stencils are made of anything I find interesting that I think might work.

@KateWordArt 2 месяца назад

Thanks for your lovely comment. Typically, they are mylar or some form of acetate or plastic, like a subject dividers in school supplies. You can use sheet protectors, and now, I use Manila folders so I can discard them after using them a few times. I live where I cannot use indoor plumbing for cleaning the stencils. Basically, you can make your masks from anything, even copy paper for a 1x use! Just cut the shapes you want and go for it! Peace 🌿

@TheBlonderiffic 3 месяца назад

How do you keep the paint from drying when you pick up your stencils. When I take that long, the paint is dry. Do you use a paint extendor?

@KateWordArt 3 месяца назад

Thanks, Linda, for your question. I'm always aware that acrylics dry quickly, but I don't use extenders. I do use heavy body paints (tube), although sometimes, I do use a fluid. I try to have paper ready and utilize the window of open time wisely. Have everything at the ready & work quickly. I believe my paper selection contributes to successful transfers also. I use 100% cotton papers for watercolor & printmaking, so absorption is vital. Feel free to get back with me if you have more questions. Peace 🌿

@suzt7076 3 месяца назад

I’m curious as to why the paint didn’t dry in the time it took to lift off the stencils? I would have thought you would have to pull with a wet layer after that amount of time

@KateWordArt 3 месяца назад

I'm working quickly to remove masks before that happens. I also use a heavier body paint that stays open longer. Thanks for your comments. Peace 🌿

@RainDropps 8 месяцев назад

How is it that the paint didn’t dry by the time you peeled off the masks on your first pull? Maybe I missed you mentioning the paints you used? Nice prints 😊

@KateWordArt 8 месяцев назад

Mostly, I use heavy body paints. Amsterdam and Liquitex are go-to favorites for printmaking, and if I use fluids, Golden is my choice. One learns how much to use, which I'm still learning, but you do have to work on the quicker side. Peace 🌿
