I’d do patterns, but there is so much out there already! Will make one on Islamic style pattern, which I love, at some point, printing from stuff in the house!
I've been using gel plates for some time without the pattern element. This technique of Yeates Makes is another I'll be pilfering for my own studies ......
Hi. Questions . I Forgit while watching other videos The big plate video . What size was that ? 12x14 or the 60x 20? Have you ever used plates like grafix ?
What a gift it is for your son to have you as his Dad! You are an unbelievably interesting, fabulous, artist! You have so many great ideas! I, myself, had no art in my life until I was about 50 years old, and I always say ‘ if I knew back then what I know now’ things would have been so different. 🇨🇦✌🏼
Probably the most creative way I’ve ever seen anyone use a gel plate. I love the abstract look of it. I’m going to give this a try it’s just so fabulous thank you so much.
I just ordered a small gel plate to start expirimenting after discovering your videos. I didnt even know this existed before!!! Im a disabled artist recovering from extreme burn out and reconnecting wuth my art, and i love the kinds of TEXTURE and line quality and the multimedia possibilities of this!!! Thank you so much for the inspiration.
I really appreciate the way that you use the gell plate as an art medium and not just for hobbies type of thing. The way you use real art materials such as charcoal and pastels is very inspiring. Your gell plate looks thick and sturdy - can you please tell us a bit about how to select a decent gell plate? Thanks 😊
This is very helpful and encouraging, as my printer is (only!) an inkjet. It's inspiring that gel plates don't have to be about making random collage paper or 'decorative' pieces - so I'm encouraged now to get my unused plate from storage and follow your guidance (in slow motion!). It's always very interesting to learn about artists who inspire artists too - so I'm next going to look her up. Top job all around - and thanks for the pacing that enables beginners.
Only recently discovered your videos and I think this is the best yet. You’ve totally transformed the way to use a gel plate. Brilliant. Please don’t stop. Incidentally you’re style of presentation is excellent.
Amazing. So fun to see this use some painterly techniques. Keep experimenting! Your background and skills are taking gel printing to a new level. Still accessible. 😀
Thank you for all your videos. Fantastically inspirational. Such a gift that you’re taking time to share your art knowledge, experience and lovely work in these well-made, entertaining videos.
You have no idea the gift you’ve given me. For many years I have kept a drawing that I made of my now deceased grandmother. A simple line drawing but caught one day as she sat quietly at a window. I think your technique will express perfectly the emotion of this drawing that I’ve for so long desired to render. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, for your generosity, your skill and your TALENT.
WOW I finally understand the idea of resist. I know it should be self evident, but I couldn't seem to smooth it out in my head. You are a fabulous and patient instructor. God bless you
Happy New Year, Yeates Makes ! I don't know if you know this: you are really one of the best. You are brilliant! Learning so much from you!! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for all your superb videos! As an art teacher for teens I am so grateful, I can use so much of your techniques in class. Love it! Also very grateful you also share the artist you keep as inspiration, widen the horizon so to speak. I understand “I am late to the game” here but I am binging your playlist every moment I can, and taking notes, experimenting. My summer break will be totally gelling, such a treasure! Thank you Mark! Keep Making!
I know that thing, taking a step back and diving into other things...I fill my studio with all of that so I too can enjoy that experience of creating and when one medium goes down, I reach for the next! You have inspired me to pull out my gel!!!
Amazing! This is a whole new level of gelli printing. This definitely gives the prints a more organic look and feel. And the texture looks as if you were to run your hand over the print, you could actually feel it. Beautiful work and thanks for sharing 👍
This is a fascinating technique. Thank you for mentioning Käthe Kollwitz. She’s one of my all-time favorite artists. I live in Berlin, so I am able to see quite a bit of her work and that of other expressionists.
I could mention Kathe all day! Her print of funeral of Karl Liebknecht is in my top 5!! i love the man in the middle back confronting the audience, a powerful document of what must have been a heartbreaking time for many
Thank you so much for responding, I’ve been experimenting with your technique and I absolutely love it. So I posted some of my results on Instagram mentioning that I had seen this technique done by you on UA-cam. This is taking my gel printing in a new direction which I really like. I’ve done some very good magazine and laser print print but they’re boring when they come out perfect lol. So thank you again look forward to more of your videos. And I hope you become very famous👍💥💥💥💥
Your videos are the answer for how to create fine art with a gelli plate. Bravo! Thank you so much for what appears to be a pioneering move toward new horizons for the use of the humble gelli plate. Because of you I have been in my studio for the past 3 days...and excited to be there. Mind you, this is after 5 difficult years and nearly no time/enthusiasm to create. It's because you chose to share that I cannot wait to fling that door open again and just have fun! Thank you.
Hello George. This is absolutely one of the most rewarding and moving comments I've had since starting the channel. I in no way anticipated the amount of good feeling and community that sharing my experiments would encourage, or that what I videod would have such an effect on people. Sincere thanks for taking the time to let me know : ) Happy making, so glad you're dusting down your studio - mine never needs dusting down because it is the kitchen table!!!
I'm glad my response to your videos has made you feel good. I'm a firm believer in karma...sort of the what goes around, comes around rule. I am glad to be part of the "comes around" portion. 🙂 BTW, I am Pat....I've been using my husband, George's, UA-cam account because it's easier than setting up my own. 😁 (But, how would you know that? Lol)
I’m having so much fun with your techniques that you are sharing. I was looking more artistic way to use the plate and I found your channel. I am finding my way and can’t thank you enough. . Thanks so much for all the information and time you give. Happy to have found your channel. ❤🇨🇦
Wow. As comment below, at last an artistic way of using a gelli plate. My plate's been out today making patterns but this evenings use will be quite different. Thanks for this.
A friend introduced me to your channel today, and I'm loving what you are doing with a gel plate! I love that you experiment and play and try different things! I'm a new subscriber!
Aww.. so cool you got your son involved, loved the result. I realise now why im drawn to your channel, i could watch more experienced gelli plate ppl yes.. but i really love your experimentation and your enthusiam for the subject 👍
Oh my I'm new to your channel and I need to work now but all I want to do is to binge watch your videos!!! So cool! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing creativity with us
Hi. I learned, recently, that you can use a hairdryer (set on medium) to dry the paint/and or the paper, to speed up the process. I love your videos, by the way. Great job 😊👍🏾
I find it interesting that you wait for the paint to dry before pulling the prints. The artists I have previously followed say to pull straight away before the paint dries or the paper sticks and rips. I have not yet tried your method but intend to and compare the results. Love your vidz.
Hi there, if you're pulling multiple layers with one wet layer then I find its best to make sure it is totally dry. I found the ripping occurs where some of the paint has dried and in parts it is still a bit wet. When pulling one wet layer directly off plate you only have to wait a few seconds ; )
Fantastic video - thank you ! Lovely to see some "arty" prints instead of the usual demos . Definitely going to give this a try . Kind regards - Judi - Australia .
So excited to find your channel - taking gelli print into the realm of art I was struggling to make a connection between gelli fun and what I think of as my real work. this is it for me!
That is great news - I've been really enjoying incorporating the gel plate into my art making so I am glad my enjoyment is resonating with so many out there who love printmaking and mixed media : )
I've just watched this again for the second time and I love it. I'm keeping this in my UA-cam library for a teaching instructional video for myself. You really hit it out of the park with this. This technique just puts gel printing on a whole new level. The application for portraits is astonishing. My question to you sir is, how well does this translate to more detailed prints...? Say something like a landscape? ...Or an intercate scean with more subject matter? I hope that makes sense...? Great video and great presentation. Thanks for your wealth of information and sharing it 👍
I recognized her name from America Werewolf in London but after googling, I see she’s a nun in Call of the Midwife (haven’t seen). Btw, I love seeing both you and your son’s hands together working on this art piece!
Love your videos, have watched a few of them. This is such a great way to get an expressive portrait. Thank you so much for all your inspiring words and pieces.
@@yeatesmakesreally love your creativity and experimental attitude towards everything you generously teach us. Have you tried Chinagraph pencils on the Gel plate? Really love KK’s art too, thank you for mentioning her and all the time you spend showing and teaching us out here in UA-cam land. Most appreciated. ❤
I'm learning from you to let go, and just let my tools do the job, be looser in my thinking, not be so concerned about results. Kathe Kollwitz, along with Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, et al was the inspiration for my printmaking using linocut carving techniques (using linoleum, and a Japanese substrate called 'Gomuban'). Then I became obsessed with Chinese ink painting, so I have a ton of really good, thin paper of all kinds. So this is a good way to sort of evolve back into general print-making.
Love this vlog from start to finish. Your son's choice of portrait subject tickled me. Some day I might remember the movie, too. (Got it! Sister Julienne from Call the Midwife, played by Jenny Agutter.) And your choice of Kathe Kollwitz, wonderful. I'm pretty new to gel printing but your process is clear and I'm going to try this. Thanks for your vlogs.
That's the next gelli-plate-level! Today I tried your ballpoint-emboss-technic again. The first and second prints were very good, the third print good but the last was to gentle/faint. So I used your oil-pastel-technic to add two colors and - tata - the last print became good too 😀 Thank you for sharing your fantastic technics.
Most interesting. I have used oil pastels on the plate but not ike this. I am going to give it a go using photos of my grand-daughter. Thank you for sharing!
Love your videos, lots of inspiration! And Käthe Kollwitz is also a great artist and inspiration for me, although I'm far from her bold expressionism. Maybe one day...
I don't know whether you consciously intended it, or not, but this is a great response to my (and possibly others') request to see how you'd address registration issues. I'd love to see you do more exploration of this issue, although I hasten to add that I have found every one of your experimental videos richly inspiring. In this particular case, I appreciate seeing the success of such loose and expressive treatment, when registered. Somehow reassuring. I also very much enjoy the art history you include, from time to time. When I already know of the person, it's pleasant to know that you like them. And when I don't (as with this artist), I'm eager to know more.
Hi there, I had forgotten about the registration request - I'll try and do more on this as the technique offered here is a bit crude and wouldn't really work for more precise images!
Thank you so much for your amazing videos. You have really encouraged me to try printmaking using the Gelli plate. I had no idea just how far you can push it. Combine this with Kathe Kollwitz, who is one of my all time favourite artists, and I am once more finding my art to be challenging and exciting. Thank you for that as well. For various reasons I had lost my spark, but now there aren't enough hours in the day.
Lovely message, thanks. I think there is still plenty of territory I haven't pushed the gel plate yet. Been messing around with combining drawing transfer techniques and using melted wax recently. Videos coming soon I'm sure!!!!
Loving these! Really exciting technique! Also love how you help develop your son's confidence in his art making. Welcome to the dark (#grungy) side lol. Tfs
At last someone using a gelli plate that is artistic not just pretty patterns. Thank you.
Yes, but there's nothing wrong with pretty patterns. William Morris comes to mind 😊
I’d do patterns, but there is so much out there already! Will make one on Islamic style pattern, which I love, at some point, printing from stuff in the house!
I've been using gel plates for some time without the pattern element. This technique of Yeates Makes is another I'll be pilfering for my own studies ......
@@yeatesmakes Patterns are great for tearing up and using for collages.
Hi. Questions . I Forgit while watching other videos
The big plate video . What size was that ? 12x14 or the 60x 20?
Have you ever used plates like grafix ?
What a gift it is for your son to have you as his Dad! You are an unbelievably interesting, fabulous, artist! You have so many great ideas! I, myself, had no art in my life until I was about 50 years old, and I always say ‘ if I knew back then what I know now’ things would have been so different. 🇨🇦✌🏼

Hi Mary, thanks for all the positive feedback, glad the videos are appreciated : )
Very interesting. Thank you. I always get a lot out of your tutorials. 🎉❤😊
Amazing. So fun to see this use some painterly techniques. Keep experimenting! Your background and skills are taking gel printing to a new level. Still accessible. 😀
Thanks Suzi, that's a lovely comment : )
I'm very inspired by your approaches and your teaching style, thank you for sharing your processes with us 🎨🖌️
My pleasure 😊
I have learned so much from your videos. Geli printing is like a poor man’s tool when you don’t have the expensive equipment
I thought that too but am now convinced that you can do things on a gelli plate that are hard to emulate with other printing equipment!!!!
Thank you for all your videos. Fantastically inspirational. Such a gift that you’re taking time to share your art knowledge, experience and lovely work in these well-made, entertaining videos.
You have no idea the gift you’ve given me. For many years I have kept a drawing that I made of my now deceased grandmother. A simple line drawing but caught one day as she sat quietly at a window.

That's sweet, thank you : )
WOW I finally understand the idea of resist. I know it should be self evident, but I couldn't seem to smooth it out in my head. You are a fabulous and patient instructor. God bless you
Happy New Year, Yeates Makes ! I don't know if you know this: you are really one of the best. You are brilliant! Learning so much from you!!
Thanks for sharing!
Cheers! That’s a lovely comment and you’re very welcome, it’s a pleasure to share. :)
your drawing strokes are so confidant
This is the only method I would like a portrait of my 72 year old face, the character,
Amazing
Thank you x
You opened whole new worlds for me, warm thanks!

Another great video and technique. Thank you
Inspirational thank you. I’m fired up
A fab video, great artistic use of this medium. I love the raw expressionist and almost brutal outcome. You’ve inspired me to try.
Aww.. so cool you got your son involved, loved the result. I realise now why im drawn to your channel, i could watch more experienced gelli plate ppl yes.. but i really love your experimentation and your enthusiam for the subject 👍

@@yeatesmakes No I haven't ! But it now goes on my to-do list. :)
I've just watched this again for the second time and I love it.
I'm keeping this in my UA-cam library for a teaching instructional video for myself.
You really hit it out of the park with this.
This technique just puts gel printing on a whole new level.
The application for portraits is astonishing.
My question to you sir is, how well does this translate to more detailed prints...? Say something like a landscape? ...Or an intercate scean with more subject matter?
I hope that makes sense...?
Great video and great presentation.
Thanks for your wealth of information and sharing it 👍
I recognized her name from America Werewolf in London but after googling, I see she’s a nun in Call of the Midwife (haven’t seen). Btw, I love seeing both you and your son’s hands together working on this art piece!
I love the results of the print and your sons print looked good to. Please keep posting and experimenting.
Will do Anna, thanks for ongoing support : )
Fantastic
Thank you soooo much for sharing this fabulous technique! 🌷
A pleasure June, hope you try it and get some success : )
Thankyou so much for your videos. They are so inspiring and really artistic and meaningful. I appreciate you have taken the time to teach us so well.

Beautiful lesson! I love your son's drawing style. And I really enjoy how different you both drew!
Good to see him drawing a bit looser!!
I'm learning from you to let go, and just let my tools do the job, be looser in my thinking, not be so concerned about results.
Kathe Kollwitz, along with Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, et al was the inspiration for my printmaking using linocut carving techniques (using linoleum, and a Japanese substrate called 'Gomuban'). Then I became obsessed with Chinese ink painting, so I have a ton of really good, thin paper of all kinds. So this is a good way to sort of evolve back into general print-making.

@@yeatesmakes I will! Kind of backed up with finishing some already started projects but will tag you when I do.

Interesting
Nice result.
Cheers : )
Love your videos, lots of inspiration! And Käthe Kollwitz is also a great artist and inspiration for me, although I'm far from her bold expressionism. Maybe one day...
She's one of my artisitc and social heroes, amazing art and sense of social justice : )
That is awesome, thanks so much for sharing your experiments. Nice to hear about something that works with an ink jet printer.
Lol, indeed! I love using my inkjet for printing images onto tissue paper for collage : )

Combine this with Kathe Kollwitz, who is one of my all time favourite artists, and I am once more finding my art to be challenging and exciting. Thank you for that as well. For various reasons I had lost my spark, but now there aren't enough hours in the day.
Lovely message, thanks. I think there is still plenty of territory I haven't pushed the gel plate yet. Been messing around with combining drawing transfer techniques and using melted wax recently. Videos coming soon I'm sure!!!!
Absolutly fantastic. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers Eric, hope there are some tips to help with your work : )
Great demo, so inspiring
Glad you enjoyed, we enjoyed making this one!
oh how gorgeous once you had added that 3rd layers
Hi Aine, it was satisfying! Hope your work is going well : )
Loving these! Really exciting technique! Also love how you help develop your son's confidence in his art making. Welcome to the dark (#grungy) side lol. Tfs
Cheers Pippi : )
