I think it's important for people to avoid the mistake of being too cautious -- which you alluded to. What do you have to lose? Just a little paint, a half minute, and a piece of paper! Thanks!
yes exactly!! so true and I believe that exactly! sorry I didn't see this message before!
Thank you for all the help!!💕
You are so welcome! its always my pleasure!
Thanks Karen, as always you explain so well. Much appreciation.👍👍👍
You are so welcome! so glad to hear!
Very good. Thanks
Good advice!
Thank you for this video. It is helpful.
thanks so much!
Speedball block printing/lino-printing ink works well too, and easy to clean up since it’s water soluble.
I haven't tried the speedball one but I've heard its great! TFS
You are a good teacher thank you so much 💖
Thank you! 😃

Thanks for this video. I have been working with the gelli plate and this is so amazing and satisfying. ❤️✨
You are so welcome! I'm so glad to hear!!
I've been putting off a buying a gel plate until I saw this video you explain things so well I went in and looked at the Amazon site for the gel plate I put it in my favorites till payday cuz I know Amazon will remind me and now I'm not afraid I have acrylics but I'm going to look again on your channel to get some alcohol ink I think that would be fun to try to so thank you as always .... You are a wonderful teacher 😉

I’m here trying to learn this art❤. Thank you 😊
You’re welcome 😊 practice helps, the more you do it the more you learn!
I've been on a gel plate printing UA-cam binge and your channel popped up in my feed. Loved this mistakes video. I got a gel plate last week and just jumped right into playing. Of course I made mistake #1!! Luckily I figured that one out. Also, before going on my UA-cam bings I totally thought mistake #5 was true -- it's only for acrylics. My mind was blown by some of the videos using all kinds of mediums. Anyway, I appreciated your video and wanted to say THANKS.
I'm so glad to hear! there's so much you can do with a gel plate!! alcohol inks, regular inks, sprays etc
I've never tried this, it looks so fun 😊❤
oh it is!! especially because you don't need to be exact!! its even better when its imperfect
Yes! It is so much fun...but very addictive 😊
Hello Keren. Great job explaining gel printing “errors.” It will be very helpful for those learning how much paint to use. Have you been bothered by the Canadian wildfires or are you north of the smoke? The sea breeze has kept the smoke to a minimum here. Enjoy the rest of the summer, my friend.
yes you're so right!! and it got very smokey a few weeks back but now we're ok, we are not so close to the fires where I live.
Great video!❤
Thank you!!
Off load onto tissue paper to make collage pieces?
Your skills are remarkable
thanks so much!
I love your videos!
thank you!
We can also offset the paint on the back of the stencil onto a plain colored sheet
yes that would work too!! TFS and apologies for not seeing this comment before
Great video. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
My pleasure! glad it was helpful! thanks!!
Where can I buy your stencil at about the 5:20 mark? I love it so!
Hi there, that is one of my stencil designs but its out of stock and the company won't be making any more of them. However I designed other stencils you can see here: bit.ly/31k0Yxj
Could you please help a newbie? Why does my paper stick to the plate and tears when I pull it off?
Susan there are so many reasons that can happen so unless I'm there, I wouldn't know which one is affecting you. sorry I didn't see this message sooner!
Question with the stamp pads. You used water based ink pads....can you use the permanent inks, eg, stazon?
yes you can, they work great!
Are acrylic inks ok to use?
they might be too liquidy. Liquid acrylics are great! you could try and play to see what happens.
Bonjour Karen et merci pour vos précieux conseils 🙏 J'ai acheté une gel presse et je m'exerce car c'est avec la pratique qu'on progresse. Votre chaîne est aidante pour mes premiers pas dans l'art journal.
Je suis encore au stade de débutante avec la gel press et je ne trouve pas de réponse à une question. Sans abuser de votre temps, pourriez vous me donner un conseil s'il vous plaît ? Avec la pratique j'ai trouvé la quantité de peinture à appliquer sur ma gel presse. Mais lorsque je retire mon papier, il reste collé par endroits et se déchire. Pensez-vous que j'ai trop attendu avec ma feuille posée sur la peinture, ou au contraire qu'il faut que j'attende plus longtemps avant de retirer le papier de la gel presse ?
Bonne journée 🌷
Its hard to tell if I don't know specifics of what paper you're using, what paint, how much you're applying and how long you're leaving it on. The only thing I can say is to maybe experiment with different papers, paints and times and see which works best. That's how I learned. You can try it with liquid acrylics, ink pads, heavy acrylic paints, and see which you prefer.
@@KerenTamir thanks a lot for your answer. It's a learning process, so i keep trying and experiment. Very good day for you 🌺
Thanks I have tried about 6 times and not made a good print yet.
it does take awhile but we also need to change our perfectionist view of what is a "good" print. It takes awhile but eventually good is relative
Would Indian inks work too? 😊
Yes they would
@@KerenTamir oh Thank you for getting back to me it's appreciated
I'd rather use a wipe to clean the plate as I prefer to control the outcome of the next print.
yes sometimes I do this, but I love the randomness of the design too!
Why would you waste paint by rolling off onto the back of a print and not on an extra paper that can be used later.
only because I forgot LOL
For everyone out there who has never done this kind of technique, BE VERY MUCH AWARE!! this is not as easy as the videos make it look. I wasted a lot of money and time and was not successful. If anything almost traumatized me and made me feel so incompetent. I am renowned for not giving up and have done complicated art to a good standard. In any case all the best of luck.
Feel you,just git 2 plates and had only 1 out of 30 turn our right
I'm sorry to hear that!! and I'm glad you didn't give up! As with any artistic technique it takes lots of practice. No art technique is easy at first. Learning how to sculpt, watercolor, paint, etc takes time and practice and so does with gel printing. This is why I made this video so it helps people like you not make the same mistakes I made when I was learning.
This is easy! I don’t know how you could find it difficult. Most people become addicted and are buried under miles of gel prints.
Curious. What type of paper and paint were you using? I make painted paper collages and I use liquid acrylics (that’s as wet as wet as the paint needs to be) and mixed media paper to get the better results. This is my favorite tool for creating visual textures. Layering is challenging so, be sure to check the transparency of the paint. Practice with tiny drops of liquid acrylics from Michaels and printer paper or…even better…newspaper. I hope this helps. Would love to see your art! Could you drop your website link or IG?
Mercedes I find that some days I struggle and quickly figure out what the problem is. I suspect your best bet is to sit with someone and do this for an hour or so if you really want to master it, because once you get the basics you can do other techniques. You really will be hooked.
Keep Rocking 🤙 the good stuff 👍 Beautiful person 🤗.🕊️🥰🐦2024🪵🐉
thanks so much!
