Creating a Collagraph and Gelli Plate Painting Collage
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 кві 2023
- In this video, I'm going to show you how I made a print using just a gelli plate and a bonus collagraph.
First, I did some studies of my subjects using black and white acrylic paint and decided on the composition and colors I wanted to use. I'm excited to demonstrate how to paint with the gelli plate, using a paintbrush and overlaying some color graph design on top. Leaving some dried paint on the gelli plate provides texture and I use masking tape to block out areas I don't want to paint. I use different colors to create different parts of the print, and I show you how to reuse the gellu plate by wiping off the old design with a baby wipe. It's a fun and creative way to paint, and I really hope you enjoy watching me create this print!

Collagraphy is a really versatile printing process in which a textured plate is inked up and put through a press. Different textures hold varying amounts. of ink and print different tones. Anything with a low relief texture can be stuck down and used: wallpaper, leaves, fabrics, tapes and threads etc - Навчання та стиль
Wow, you have opened my eyes to so many techniques I didn’t think of combining!
That’s great, happy printing 🙌
What a revelation! I’ve learnt so much. Never thought to use my gelli plate for anything like this. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thank you and really glad you found it useful 🤗
Fabulous
Such an innovative way to use the gelli plate. I'm ready to try!
Yesss! 🙌
I don't have the greatest color mixing skills. Any books/videos you recommend?@@CollagraphPrinting
❤ love it, so many ideas here. l am mad about rocks. Thank you
Rocks rock! 🪨 💃🏼
How amazing to watch that! Thank you😊
Thank you and you are welcome 🤗
I’m loving working like this. Your videos are fantastic ❤
Thank you so much 😊
I am so glad I found this. I recently acquired a gelli plate. After many attempts at painting a large landscape (of somewhere I visited) and not being happy with the results, I am excited to try this method. Thank you. It’s a great video.
You are welcome and have fun 🤩
Really enjoying your creative experiments. It's just the process I also enjoy, combining the gelliplate with other printmaking techniques. Fabulous. Thank you for sharing again. Always looking forward to your new videos.
Thank you so much Aino that’s really great to hear 🤗🥳
So fun… I love it!!! I use a gelli plate but this is a whole new and exciting way to use it. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you and you are very welcome 🤗
That was fun and inspiring! I love to see how people use the Gelli plate and you are the first I have seen using it this way! Your printmaking experience shows and I love your experimental nature, very inspiring and I love, love the final result!💕🇨🇦
Thank you so much Cindy, glad you enjoyed it 🤗
Fascinating technique, and what a beautiful result. Thanks
Thank you Kathy! 🤗
Merci tu es généreuse et ton résultat est absolument MA GNI FI QUE ❤
Merci 🤗
Very nice abstract
Thank you 🙏 🙂
Stunningly beautiful
Thank you 🙏
A really marvelous piece!!! A great deal of complex layers, little masks and detailed cuts, but you still kept track of what you want to show. It really came together with the collagraph finale.
Thank you so much, it was a hard piece but I was pleased with it in the end. Thank you for watching 🤗
Great ideas thank you. Yes I joined and hit the bell,,,lol.
Thank you 🙏 🥳🤩
WOW!
🤗
Brilliant 😊
Thank you 🤗
Thank you for sharing your process. Had no idea I could use a gelli plate like that! So inspiring. Opened a whole new way of painting!
Thank you Mary! I discovered it whilst on holiday and away from my press, funny how you can invent because of lack of tools 😀
Excellent - How it came together and what you added when was a true pleasure to watch.
Thank you James 🤗
Marta once again you have blown me away, how incredible you are and so generous of spirit. Thank you so much
Warmest Regards Susie ( from Australia)
Thank you so much Susie, that’s really nice to hear. Glad you’ve enjoyed watching it 🤗
I love it❣️❣️❣️
Thank you 🙏
This is how I have been working. I loved this. I make such a mess!
I find the bigger the mess the greater the outcome 👌😀
Hello, Marta! Thank you very much for sharing your creative process and your beautiful art. I'm learning a lot from you and your videos are a great source of inspiration. I'm new to visual arts as I've been a textile artist for many decades but this year have gotten enamoured with monoprinting. My skills are very basic but I'm learning and can see my progress over the last few months. Your style of techniques and abstract landscapes is what I'm aiming for and I'm extremely grateful to you for posting here. Sending warm greetings from Vancouver, BC.
That’s so great to hear thank you. Enjoy your journey into printmaking 🤩🤗
Thanks for showing this innovative process, and the beautiful end result!
Thank you and you are welcome 🤗
I've used both methods together for a long time and possibly are my fave methods. So easy for anyone to play with. Bx
So true 🤗
Great ! love to hear you talking so enthousiasticly About the gelliplate. Your work has developed and changed so much. Good for you ! i am still very gratefull that i learned all about making collograph plates. Guess you know the Yeates Makes channel ? He is my Gelliplate Hero . Thanks for the video Marta.
Yeah he is so cool. Actually met the guy last night. Very talented…
Thank you, yes he is a great artist, love his channel
Very fun and lots of cool techniques. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching and you are very welcome 🤗
Really appreciate this, and thank you for sharing inspiring and innovative ways to work!
You are welcome and thank you 🙏
Brilliant again! It’s all there - beautiful aesthetics, clear vision, creative combination of processes, innovative techniques, on point explanations. I’m so impressed with how you plan these pieces by doing studies and design experiments in advance - way more discipline than I have. And you make it look so simple and straightforward! I’m going to have to try some of these things, thanks for the inspiration and guidance.
Thank you Bob, I think I probably look more organised than I really am 😬. Glad you the video, gelli is definitely worth trying 👌
Thanks 😊 I will try that's for sure ! You are the best in experimenting technic and really generous in the transfer of your knowledge
Thank you Lyn, you are welcome and have fun 🤩
You’ve totally inspired me Marta! Fabulous video. I’ve been looking for a way of painting with my gelli plate and you’ve given me some great ideas. Love all your videos. Keep making them. They are all really inspiring.😊
Thank you so much Kate, enjoy explorations with gelli! 🤩🤗👌
Great work!
Thank you 🙏
@@CollagraphPrinting You see? I can leave a comment without a five page essay!
@@nachtschimmen 😂
Great and fun as usual! Tyvm🙂😊
Thank you 🤗
Hey! I just cannot thank you enough for this -- helped me so much
Any chance you are waiting for the gelli plate to fully dry before pulling it off
Thank you so much, really happy you found it useful. If you wait for the gelli to dry, in order to pull you will need to roll a layer of acrylic paint or medium first.
Wonderful!!!
Thank you 🙏
love this
Thank you 🙏
Wow Marta - you’re so creative and inspiring! Thankyou so much for sharing!❤ What would you seal the work with?
Thank you Tricia! I would probably seal it with uv matt varnish after couple of coats of acrylic matt media
Love your work! I have bounced around with dome different art mediums over the last few years. I am no where near an "artist" just like to create. That being said, I am in love with the idea of printmaking. I love birds, landscapes, buildings...in your opinion what is the best type of printmaking for a beginner, is it okay to not be a seasoned artist?
Thank you so much 🤗
I don’t think you need to be a seasoned artist at all. I think maybe to start with it might be worth trying relief printmaking? You don’t need a press for that
Please: What is the brand name of the sticky back white paper you use for masks?
Your videos are very educational and inspiring, with so many variations of printing techniques. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your kind comments and watching my videos 🤗
The brand name of paper is Elco.
Another fantastic video! It’s funny when you say you don’t have a plan, because you do have a very good plan I think. That thing with the Plexi and the Gelli, that’s such a great idea! Love your landscapes! May I ask: what is that lovely structure visible in the collagraph plate, a vegetable net? Cheers from Berlin, tina
Hi Tina, thank you so much, believe it or not it’s a bit of good old scrim!
@@CollagraphPrinting ah do you mean like a bandage in medicine?
@@tinasart5720 that’s what it looks like, it’s widely used in printmaking for wiping ink off
Is that a pint of beer? 😉
Ha ha Alcohol free 🤩
Too complicated for me:(
Oh no 😢
