“I don’t let the cost of the material determine the quality of the art” well said.

Every video is so exciting, unexpected and interesting.

Great! I also love the Gees Bend creativity.. Quilts made from their authentic hearts. Love all your prints here, esp the one with the veil of iridescent white. Thank you ❤

The Gees Bend artists, in the traditional manner, made quilts out of bits of fabric at hand, for example, from worn out pieces of clothing. As you mentioned regarding choosing paint, they did not choose or buy expensive fabric, but very practically used what they had at hand. (Reuse at its best!) They were very creative with how they used their materials. Admirable, I think.

Gee’s Bend quilts have always been a great source of inspiration for me - thank you for sharing your tribute to their work. I am learning so much from your videos, and from Kate Word, who is a big fan girl of yours as well!

Murphy’s Oil Soap mixed with water makes a very good way to clean the plate. I also use bowl of the stuff to clean brayers. The Murphy’s has some oil in it, so using it to clean off plate adds a little bit of oil to the surface.

I love the quilts of Gee's Bend. A quilt in a display at a recent show of quilts at the American Folk Art museum was remarkably Mark Rothko-like. Or Mark Rothko was inspired by faded Amish quilts.

I try to guess what color you'll use next. I am often- well usually - wrong. I often think "Oh, no! What is he thinking!" But then the result will be so uniquely beautiful. That's why you are the artist and I'm here sitting on my tush watching you. 🤣

I saw an exhibit of Gee’s Bend quilts maybe 20 years ago. These are definitely inspirational art pieces, and they’ll also keep your toes warm in cold weather. Your interpretation is muy sabroso.

I really like this batch. Recently discovered your channel. Thank you for sharing your process. I'm learning a lot. I just ordered a gel plate. Going to start on a small scale but know I will want to try a large one soon.

@betsygorn2495 Год назад

I'm a recent subscriber and thank you for the instruction you offer. I've done collage for years and find gel printing is helping with loosening up my work with collage. Already I feel I've had some successes with this new medium.

@artwhisperer88 Год назад

Glad it was helpful!

@janwebber9790 Год назад

Your second print with the red flame on top is spectacular! The new paper is working well with texturing. Keep up the great work

Outstanding work, since I discovered your channel I can’t stop watching your videos. I’m an engineer I have nothing to do with art but admiring it, and your pieces with their vivid colors stunned me every time you make a new piece. I love all of them, Keep up the good work wish you the best

@artwhisperer88 Год назад

Thanks so much! I really a firm believer that art unites people from all backgrounds and walks of life. Thanks for watching!

@vocalchords3609 11 месяцев назад

AT 16:40 you remind the viewer who queried your choice of 'student' grade - reminds me of the words 'price is what you pay, value (i.e. utility), is what you get!' I fear many don't seem to live in the light of your wisdom and those from someone just cited! I am enjoying this session of your artistry and creativity - crafting together with and via your chosen materials. Love it!

@karenmcandrew9383 Год назад

Love your videos- I’ve just started using a gel plate. I am a watercolor artist but wanted to try. I am struggling with colors- but watching this helps.

@artwhisperer88 Год назад

Yes I can understand jumping from one medium to another can be intimidating, but it can be fun as well.

@thecraftygalmartin1941 Год назад

Loved tge result. Must try something similar soon. Thank you

@rosemaryrideout4271 Год назад

Love them all. I wonder if the treatment of your plate with the baby oil might have contributed to the oil resist quality

@artwhisperer88 Год назад

That's the effect of the Mars black Blickcrylic mixing with the raw sienna through a brayer. They both contain a lot of extenders which create that effect.

@carolannwaugh Год назад

Can you reveal your recipe for your soap spray for cleaning the plate? I usually use packing tape to remove paint from my plate. Also, I love your videos and am now addicted. I will be promoting you to my thousands of newsletter subscribers next week and also blogging about you. I'm a New Yorker (now living in Denver) and a fiber artist so loved your inspiration for this video. Thanks for being such an inspiration to us all and sharing your creative process.

@artwhisperer88 Год назад

Wow, a fellow New Yorker! You know that saying you can take the girl out of the city, but you can't take the city out of the girl! Thanks so much for watching and sharing with your friends. There's no specific recipe for the soapy water spray, I just fill the spray bottle 3/4 full, then add the dish liquid, about 3 to 4 tablespoons, shake and you're all set. I recommend oiling the plate frequently with baby oil to condition it. It won't tear the paper as much if you do that.

@carolannwaugh Год назад

@@artwhisperer88 Thank you!

@carole2077 Год назад

I really like the effect of the white veil. Sorry to hear about your camera.

@ericmartin4818 6 месяцев назад

Toujours très intéressé par vos travaux. Merci pour ces partages de qualité. Une question : les pochoirs sont réalisés en quelle matière ? J'ai essayé avec du papier, mais celui-ci colle au rouleau lorsque j'étale la peinture... Merci pour vos informations.

@artwhisperer88 6 месяцев назад

les pochoirs sont fabriqués à partir de séparateurs de dossiers en plastique ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0aaotVtxlR0.html

@ericmartin4818 6 месяцев назад

@@artwhisperer88J'avais pensé à ça aussi, mais sans faire de test. Un grand merci pour votre réponse et pour le lien !

@Mimi_slay1 Год назад

How long are you leaving the wc paper on for? I have a lot of cold pressed, switched to hot press with my art a long time ago. I buy it by the roll.

@artwhisperer88 Год назад

I do 5 to 7 minutes tops. You will need to do tests because everyone's situation is different.

@CathSheard Год назад

Silly question time - are your guides set up so the piece has a slightly deeper white margin at the bottom than the top?

@artwhisperer88 Год назад

I do that on purpose to accommodate the title, edition number ( in this case 1/1) and my signature. Traditionally in printmaking it is signed in pencil. Don't ask me why but that's how it's done.

@CathSheard Год назад

I do it too but couldn’t tell from your set up.

@artwhisperer88 Год назад

@@CathSheard btw I sign when the piece is sold. I've had requests from buyers who prefer a landscape orientation to the usual portrait mode. Since the piece is abstract it works either way.
