Gel plate - texture and collage techniques! 

Thank you for the quick pace. So many of these videos are just too much talk and not enough action. This is perfect for me.

Thanks for another inspirational video.

I learn so much every video! And the constellation story is delightful👏👏. The experimentation/play is spot on. And I love the ‘get it done’ pacing👍👍👍. Thank you🤗👋👍

Wow, your video are so inspirational! Every print Is so fresh and interesting.thank you😊

Wonderful. And I like the story about the Greek family friends.

You are a mixed media master! So fun!!

Love the water splash technique. Great finished prints. TFS 😊

Precious video and inspiring unique techniques. Thank you for your generosity.❣️🙏🏼😊

Thanks so much for sharing your talent and methods! Genius! 👏❤️👏

Omg! Love this!!

Love your art.👌 I really thank you for sharing. 🙏 Hello from France .

Every one of your videos I learn something new, and I can’t wait to try some of these techniques

Excellent tip about the tissue paper printing technique. I often have original collage and other design elements that I don't want to use up and this is a great way to preserve them.

Beautiful work! And very inspiring. Really enjoyed it. 👏🏻👌🏻👏🏻👌🏻

Thanks for another great video.

Everything you make is overflowing with cool. I'm impressed every time. Well done. Thanks for sharing your techniques.

Thanks for all the great techniques you share with us. I greatly appreciate them. I can imagine you crawling under all those dancing folks.

You’ve done it again!!!!

Your videos are terrific. I am a retired art educator- taught art for 36 years- you are a terrific teacher. Have you ever thought about putting your techniques together for an online class or for a book? Your approach to gel plate printing is so fresh and creative. I am teaching an inperson gel playe printing class here in Albuquerque New Mexico in January but it will be for absolute beginners. Thank you for your generosity.

Simply fantastic

Your video showed up in my feed and I really like your techniques. I love the addition of the constellation and your narrative about that! 💕🇨🇦

Great techniques! Thanks for sharing.

You've taken gelli printing to a new level and made it art. I love all of your ideas. Thanks!

Terrific and so creative.

Great info and love your work!

Interesting as usual. Thanks 😊

I just found your channel. Excited to find so many novel inventive ways to collage and use gel printing. This is the particular video that came up for me when I used search term "gel print collage."

Great video

so cool x

That was awesome 👌 I actually found your video by RU-vid recommendation and just after watching it, I subscribed to your channel, I also shared it on my Pinterest page too. I've learned so much about gel printing and really enjoyed all those fantastic techniques specially those collage pieces. Thanks for sharing your artwork tutorial with us

You are so freaking talented -- I never get tired of watching you work! Thank you!

This is so cool you always remind me that we do not, as artists need all sorts of cool tools, we have stuff aroud us which will work just wonderfully. I really get a peaceful kind of joy watching your videos! Thank you! Way cool as always!

You are awesome ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

That is so freakin cool....!

I love these prints. Your techniques are so simple but used in such a unique way. I’m always so inspired by watching your videos. Can’t wait to give these a try.

Holy cow…great video sharing such awesome techniques, jam packed with good information! Inspiring! Thank you

Love this kind of ‘grungy’, old wall look. You make it look so easy though. ☺️

Thank you!

New subscriber here and I am in love with your videos and techniques. I am learning so much. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Thank you fot this video. Each time I watch one of your videos and learn something and I want to take out my gelli plate and play 😊

Hi mr yeates , it’s Jack kiln, loving the videos keep it up , also hope your keeping well , best regards Jack

Wow! So many wonderful techniques and ideas! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise.

Thank you so much! Lot of inspiration, ideas and techniques!

I logged in because I have to say I'm such a fan of your videos! You are so original and brilliant! Thank you for sharing your process with us. I've made a list of many of your techniques I want to try with my gel plate - I've even ordered up a laser printer (my inkjet is poop)!

I really enjoy watching you at work /play

That’s great, thanks 😊

You are phenomenal. I love how you keep going and going with a print.

Really well done! Loved the bit about how certain things are written in the stars. That baby wipe technique is wonderful for creating movement. I'm gonna have to give that a go.

More great techniques to try, thanks!

Merci pour ce partage . Même si je galère un peu avec l’anglais 😉

You’re really good at segmenting & layering. You don’t need to wait all night to let them dry though. 5-10 mins is plenty - just feel the back & if it’s still cool, leave it longer.

Just amazing what you come up with..the end result is fab 👩🏻‍🎨

Beautiful work as always! Aand you just gave me a wonderful idea. I used this technique for creating a collage. I am happy how it's turned out. Thank you!

very good very creative mister you should teach art

Go on lad Hope ur doing well mate

As always, such great techniques. Thanks :) (over 2K now!)

I fed rice paper directly into an ink jet printer, like the technique to print on tissue paper.Have been working with masks made with my glue gun, next printing g session will give them a trial run.

Hi from Australia, Mark. I have just discovered and subscribed to your channel. I'm hooked. Nothing about your videos and subject matter grates! Youre awesome and extremely talented! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing techniques. im just wondering what card you use to make your collagraphs.

Hi just wondering if you clean the roller each time you use it. Loving the tutorials and experimenting away with the videos.

re-waouh !

Hi Mark, just wondering if you have any tips for cleaning your gel plates and brayers. There seems to be various approaches to cleaning the Gelli plates ranging from mineral oil, baby wipes, to sticky tape. Re the brayers, many people swear by Murphy's Soap. As a beginner, I'd love to know your thoughts on cleaning both please..

New techniques

Yeates this is a great piece, but what i cant seem to get a handle on is this: 'so when you put down the GREEN ARROW and then you peel it off, do you let all that layer dry completely and then put the white layer down and pull the print?' What I would love to see is a SLOW step by step if that is possible? You are super talented but i dont get the 'DO I DRY THE LAYER OF THE TRANSFERS PART COMPLETELY, THEN PUT THE WHITE LAST LAYER DOWN BEFORE YOU PULL THE PRINT?' Lastly, is the LAST WHITE LAYER BEFORE PULLING WET OR DRY?' I am just going crazy to learn to collage like you do with the Gelli plate. :-)

I'd need 20 plates if I were to leave overnight. No way could I been that patient. 😂

hello from morocco

Wow your really good you’ve already got 2k subs from skyla

as always super video how long did you leave the water before lifting the splatter?

I love your style, thanks for the inspiration. I get mixed results when I leave a print to dry on the plate. Can I ask what paper you pulled your prints with?

Hello from Germany! I like your videos so much 😍 I've tried some techniques but still have problems with the transfer of newspaper-texts (using system 3 acrylics). Also I can't get lists china pencil in Germany. I've tried the transfer-technique with similar pencils but I can only get one good pull of my drawings, the second one is too slightly (is that the right word? Sorry for my English)

Where do you get the tissue paper you used for this project?

Love the textures - Any tips on how to draw in the constellations?

Did you let the stars dry before rolling on the titanium white?

How long for dry ? i don’t understand ? One night?

This is another excellent video--definitely in the top group on my list of art videos, /and/ of videos from your generally-excellent channel. Love that you used Drew Steinbrecher's subtractive dripping technique. I just learned about his channel slightly more recently than finding yours, and love the look that technique produces. Robyn McClendon has a longer video on a similar look--using more layers, I think--referencing Venetian Plaster and Fortuny: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cjJC_zAFTy0.html I really appreciated hearing about the relationship of your imagery to your memories, as well as seeing a bit more about how you incorporate repetition while breaking absolute regularity. And I can't wait for the upcoming subtractive baby-wipes video. Love the random richness, grunge, and detail of that texture. A couple of questions: 1a: Was the tissue paper you used in your printer wet-strength tissue? 1b: (And did you use laser or inkjet?) 2: Another viewer says that you only need to let a print dry on the plate until the receiving substrate is no longer cool to the touch. Have you ever done a side-by-side comparison of prints with the same layering, left to dry for different amounts of time? Is there really any significant difference (in terms of how thoroughly the paint lifts from the plate) between leaving a print overnight vs., say, a couple of hours? Finally, congratulations on your next 1,000 subs, as well! That happened incredibly quickly. So happy more people are benefiting from your channel. You have definitely upped the game for both printmaking videos, in general, and gel plate monoprinting & mixed media, in particular. Thanks again for what you do!

Great video
