Wonderful process and fantastic result! Thank you!
This, by far, is the BEST example I’ve seen of the gel printing process. Beautiful work. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing your work. I’ve never been more inspired to start this style of art. Someone on Instagram said you could make a killing teaching your art; sign me up if you ever decide to teach!
Thank you so much! So glad to hear that! It has been in the back of my head about teaching or workshops.
@@junkykid_art I'm there.. just saying. :)
Always put Betty Crocker's on last!
👁👁👍 I am getting ready to start on my gel plate printing journey soon . I like you , and I think I'm gonna learn a lot from you.
Hi! I love your work! 🤩
This print is stunning! The layered transparent colors are so vibrant but the image still is the star of the show. Nice work ❤
Awww, Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!😊
Awesome video and artwork! Thanks for doing this in real time!
Golden fluid acrylic black…absolutely the best!!!
Heck ya! It's really nice!
Fantastic to see your entire process @Junkykid! I just wish I could get such a clean transfer from the laser copy to the gel. Thanks for sharing your wisdom and building community!
Awww, glad you enjoyed it. Also, happy you found your way here from the platform. 😊
Exactly. What’s the secret
I did indeed. Thankyou so much.
Absolutely killer !!! We need some narration ❤❤❤
Thank you! Good to know, I've been debating within my head about throwing VO over these videos.
Wow, what cool techniques and results!
Thank you! Glad you liked it and found it interesting.
Wow!!!!
Fantastically beautiful art work
Thank you so much! 😊🙏
Where do you get your images from, for the Gelli plate transfer? Are they photos you take yourself?
So when I pull the paper image off the gel a lot of paint stays behind in the white areas. Any tips to stop that from happening?
How scared were you doing that first pull though? 😂😂 this looks amazing!
The first black laser print one I almost thought it didn’t work then I saw it was looking pretty good. I actually thought at the end it would pull cleaner than it did. 😉🙏😊👍
How do you get the image to show up on the plate so cleanly. Mine is always a mess
It takes some practice, but like anything it's practice and finding what works for you. Paint and the right print out is most important, but timing and pressure is also something to play around with. Golden Fluid paints works really well for me. I'm currently mixing Golden Fluid with Amsterdam and Liquitex heavy body acrylics. Good Luck!
can you do this with any print??
Awesome stuff, and you elevate the plate to an Art Form. Do you think it makes a difference if you use your print immediately, or if you let the Laser Print sit for a while/days?
I usually just wait till it’s dry, so I can add a wet pulling layer of paint or gel medium. It doesn’t need to sit longer, if that makes sense. I just wanted to demonstrate both techniques into one video and mono print. 👍
Is the Matte medium at the end for sealing?
It's used reactivate the dried paint on the gel plate and get it to stick to the paper, because of it's clear drying nature it's used instead of pigmented paint. Otherwise you can use a layer of paint, but for this instance and didn't want to cover up the colors I already laid down.
Hi! Your videos have inspired me to try the gel plate process, but I'm having some trouble! I printed my art with a laser printer, but It won't transfer onto the plate (all the paint stays on the paper). What type of printer paper are you using for the laser prints? Any other ideas or suggestions?
Awesome! Glad to hear it! I’ve been having success with Golden Fluid Acrylic paints and starting with a very high contrast image. I usually convert my images in Photoshop and then print directly out of Photoshop. While in Photoshop I convert my image as a rich black (a mixture of all 4 colors, CMYK). Printing out color black and white prints from a color laser print from my work, it's a Ricoh MP C2004. Some people that have just black laser printers, run their laser prints twice through the laser printers to get it darker. It’s the toner resistance you’re striving for. The fluid paint tends to dry quickly and I tend to not leave it on too long, like 12-15 seconds. Hope this helps.
@@junkykid_art this was a massive help!! Already seeing improvements. Thank you so much.
Yes thanks...that helps me too!@@MicahJosiahD
DOPE Work as usual! I have a question what kind of paper are you using? Bristol? and would a non laser printed image work or does it work better with laser printed material only?
Thank you! Yup, Bristol paper. It either has to be laser print toner based or most magazines will work too. The basic science behind it is to have have something that resist paint. The reason why the paint is left on the plate is the toner acts like a barrier, so the paint doesn't stick and only sticks to the paper leaving the paint on the gel plate. So waxy crayons on paper will resist paint to stick to it and leaves the paint on the plate. Hope this makes sense.
@@junkykid_art it does and Thank you. ,Im already putting an order in for my class. And yes they ae gonna have to watch your videos to learn the ref of the classwork (hehe)
Hi😊
