I've already watched about a 100 gel plate and mono printing videos and yours just taught me so much I did not know yet - thank you so much for your sharing your knowledge and the massive inspiration!
I love Matisse so much, such an amazing artist! So are you; I loved your words at the beginning and it was a great reminder to just ENJOY THE JOURNEY. Thank you 🤗
Matisse's cutout work has always made me smile and this playful gel plate demo has had the same uplifting affect. An absolute joy to watch, Mark (and a proper inspirational shove) Thank you!
I was told at school I was no good at art and drawing and advised to leave the class. Thank you for your comments- you're giving me the confidence to "give it a go" . I can draw!
I thought I was the only one that gets pumped about making art. I need to get my kids up and on the school bus but all I want to do is get my paint and gel plate out. Lol
Fantastic ❤ thanks so much for sharing this, so excited to give it a go. I love drawing and am so inspired by your videos- helping me find more ways to do what I ❤
I just found your site today via a recommendation by UA-cam. After watching one of your videos, I subscribed immediately. This video had me watching with my mouth agape. You are amazing! I'm looking forward to watching your previous videos, and you new videos to come.
Thanks for the inspiration ... after years in traditional printmaking (art and commercial), I am blown away by the Gel Plate. When I first encountered craft videos using it, I didn't think much of it. It's nice to see someone working from an artistic point of view. 🙂 You've shown you can actually plan a piece of artwork rather than relying solely on happy accidents and at the same time be loose and spontaneous. The Coolors referral is just super!
How refreshing thank you! Such a different approach to print making, loved your designs and end result was excellent. You’ve inspired me to take a different angle on printmaking. Thank you
Fabulous video. I love mark making and non representational art. You have inspired me to make these simple stencils. i am a 76 year old artist and believe it or not i have a 4 year old student. Her mental development is higher than her hand/eye coordination so i have to adapt and structure the classes so she can manage various projects. I want to try using the gelli plate and a small brayer to she what she can handle. This could be very fun. I also introduce her to well known artists and give us something for inspiration. Your video has given me so great ideas. Thank you.
AMAZING VIDEO - THANK YOU :-) ... was exactly the style I was looking for/fits my art perfectly. You are for sure the most inspirational channel I found so far. Much love from Sweden
I just love this. I have, at almost 70, started taking a drawing class and I'm obsessed. I learned about "values" and off! I wish I could send you some of my drawings for your to see!
he's a titan. if you never watched Goldie talking through a private view of a Matisse exhibition in London, check it out. Goldie totally gets Matisse and the video is so uplifting!!!! It's on UA-cam : )
I looked your new fantastic video twice because I had so much fun looking you working, have to try it by myself at weekend, thanks again for your creative videos at highest level
Thank you so much for telling us about Coolors!!!! It is fantastic and I am having so much fun with it. What a fabulous resource! This is why I like your channel; you are so different from all others and are sooooo much more creative. I can’t thank you enough. You’re the best!!!!!!
So glad I found your videos! You are so talented! I just bought a gel plate and looking to see where to start. I like how you combine different printing techniques to achieve amazing results. Thanks for all the great info and inspiration.
Amazing, yet soo simple, but not soo simple to me. I can look at a blank piece of paper and my mind goes blank! I agree with you about just getting back to basics and drawing random shapes with nothing in particular in mind. I think we of just simple things being the most interesting. Thanks for sharing 👍
My remedy for blank page issues is stick a piece of old paper on it with a glue stick then rip it back to leave a surface texture - much more inviting to draw on!!!
You are a true inspiration! Your unique ideas about using * gelli plates ..in unusual ways just blows my mind! I can’t wait to try a Matisse inspired art work.
Love the joy in your voice…your playfulness… and simple use of paper stencils…then they are unique…I love to watch you create…please do more UA-cam videos no one else using techniques like yours… I had to laugh when you said you had the masking tape glue onto your trousers so they are less sticky… but only because in Norwegian the same word trousers mean underwear…he did what?🤣💦 Have a great week…take care of your loved ones and be creative…X (sorry for my badly Norwegian/ English)
We're safe, it was my trousers, not underwear! In England we call underwear pants, duds, boxers, undies, drawers, smalls... the list goes on, but never trousers!!!!!!
I've been watching tons of gelli plate videos as I get comfortable with my new plate. And yours are the most freeing and inspiring. I love how you're using the plate to assemble sections of a whole image here. And you've definitely inspired me to play around with hand-cut stencils!
Absolutely love this. Can’t wait to have a play today. Been doing gelli printing for 3 years but got lost where I was going and your videos have re inspired me.ThankYou!
Wow. I just want to say, I've started going through a few of your videos and the quality of what you share is top notch! There are so many interesting art techniques I'm feeling very inspired to try or get back to, because of you. I appreciate your straightforward instruction to show us how it's done. Your ideas and artwork are quality stuff!
I only discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago, but I’m getting so much inspiration and enjoyment out of watching your videos. Thank you for your work in making them and for your encouraging and positive approach.
Oh, man. Thank you so much. I’m an experienced Gel printer, but still trying to find my way in creating my own designs for stencils. I am so inspired and encouraged. Can’t wait to play.
Great to hear. I enjoyed making this pone so am going to make another today on drawing and developing stencils : ) hopefully will give even more encouragement : )
I just made several leaf stencils last week and then saw this - I love your idea of using them ala Matisse....love your videos thanks for sharing. If you cut out your stencils from Yupo Paper you can reuse them.
U ask: “What better inspiration than H.Matisse?” I say: “U!” Your carefree approach never fails to inspire me.
Thank Y❤️U!
Cheers Karin : )
I've already watched about a 100 gel plate and mono printing videos and yours just taught me so much I did not know yet - thank you so much for your sharing your knowledge and the massive inspiration!

I love Matisse so much, such an amazing artist! So are you; I loved your words at the beginning and it was a great reminder to just ENJOY THE JOURNEY. Thank you 🤗
Thanks for the inspiration. Like the other comments, I have watched MANY videos and yours is amazing! A whole new perspective for using my gel plate.
You are so intimidating. Your talent, is intimidating.
Matisse's cutout work has always made me smile and this playful gel plate demo has had the same uplifting affect. An absolute joy to watch, Mark (and a proper inspirational shove) Thank you!
Cheers Janet, pleased to hear you're inspired : )
I was told at school I was no good at art and drawing and advised to leave the class. Thank you for your comments- you're giving me the confidence to "give it a go" . I can draw!
I am pumped … watched over my lunch hour and now I want to just skip out, go home, and play with my gel plate. Thank you.
Hoping your home soon to crack the gel plate out! Enjoy :)
I thought I was the only one that gets pumped about making art. I need to get my kids up and on the school bus but all I want to do is get my paint and gel plate out. Lol
