My First Ever Gel Printed Canvas
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- I created an art piece by gelli printing onto a canvas, this idea came to me from a combination of two talented artists whom I admire, Patricia from PM Artist Studio and Froyle Davies from New Zealand.
This was the first time I’d ever tried gel printing directly onto a canvas and it wasn't without its challenges.
This is the link to the video I mentioned where Patricia created art pieces using smaller gel plates: • Gradation & What's Nex...
This is the link to the video I mentioned where Froyle created a collage art piece on a canvas: • This is How You Create...

Fabulous. You're brilliant to watch and you explain and comment without fuss; you get on with it, which is much more to my taste. Thank you for sharing and I will away to my craft room to press on, in more ways that one, haha! x
You could do mixed media collage on canvas - as an alternative to placing the canvas on your plate. You print on tissue paper and use gel matte medium to add the print to your canvas. The tissue paper becomes transparent so you still see what’s underneath with the print on top
Thank you and you’re right that is always an option.
Basically you're using a gel plate as a stamp to collage patterns. 👍 Fun 😁
You can do this on canvas fabric (not stretched on a frame). I do that for journal covers.
Definitely.
I love Froyle! She is wonderful!
She is
I would put the writing stencil directly on the canvas and with a sponge apply the black paint directly to the canvas. It would produce a blacker black.
You’re right Sharon.
Thanks for the love! I really enjoyed listening to you, you have a smooth & calming voice! I have never tried gelli printing straight onto a canvas, so you know I'm going to have to try this now! haha! All the best, Cheers Froyle
Froyle thank you so much for your comment, I love your artistry and the energy you put into the world, have fun with the process and be aware of the canvas flexibility which was my main stumbling block. I am British and live in Wales however when I was a child I was raised on an island in The Bay of Islands and know your country to be a place of much beauty, nature excelled itself in New Zealand’s creation.
At first I thought to myself...., "Where is this going..."? Then there were a few times I thought..., "He should quit while he's ahead..." Then it just started to gel, no pun intended!!! The colors and content are hypnotic. The more you look, the more you see. Well done 👏
I stretch my own canvas so I have rolls that I buy from Big Duck Canvas out of Georgia, very reasonable. That would be a great solution to the corner problem. Stretch them onto bars after creating the piece. I’m going to try this that way. You could also paint the whole canvas with a value 3-4 transparent, let it dry then proceed with a pre stretched canvas. I do love this piece and the process.
That's a great idea, thank you.
Lovely to watch and a beautiful result!
I stuff an appropriately sized book behind my canvas before pressing the plate onto the canvas. I have lots of books to choose from 😁
That's a great idea!
Love it.
Another great experience. Thank you
Paint collection definitely an addiction….well said ! I don’t feel so alone now ….. I’m OBSESSED with color 😂
You and me both!
I have wanted to try gel-printing onto a canvas for a while. When you started with all of the possible cons at the start, you addressed all of the same concerns I had! You addressed all of those brilliantly Ceri! Your art piece turned out gorgeous and after watching from start to finish, I intend on giving it a go! Thank you so much for such a well done video and your presentation, as always, makes the daunting aspects seem much less so!!
Lisa, just have fun with it, it’s only paint. You can alway paint over the canvas if you end up not liking it.
Hi Ceri! This was really interesting. It was like flying without a net. I appreciated your thoughts on ways to not have the hard edges of the gelli mats showing on the final piece; using the masks to their best effect. That was really impressive. The first pull, the colors you used were just amazing together. It was so natural, like the sun or a desert all rolled into one. Can't wait for you to do this again!
Thank you Laura, I do have another canvas and will be trying this again in the future.
@@CeriGriffiths I used to watch the liquid pour artists and I think that is where I saw them slide a magazine in between the canvas and the wood in the corners to make sure the corners didn't indent, or maybe it was mixed media... 😳 so many videos!
Wow! CERI, persistence paid off! That's gorgeous! Glad you chanced the extra black layer right at the end! It really made the difference!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I Love watching gelli print videos. Every one is different and like you said, we have no control.
I made a canvas using alcohol inks and to start I was a nervous wreck. It was a gift for my daughter and I was shaking giving it to her,,, she loved it enough to hang it in her entry way. ♥
That’s fabulous.
Superb artwork...I love it. Keep up with all the blessings.,
Thank you so much 😀
I wondered how taking the canvas off of the frame may have worked with the gelli printing….this is a fabulous result and fun journey to watch
I think if it was to be framed doing it on a canvas board would give the same look.
What a great idea! I never thought of using a canvas. How fun!!
Thank you
Looks great! You know I'm going to have to give it a try.
Love&hugs to you and Biscuit
Darcy its great fun but the flexibility of the canvas is frustrating and things have to be thought through a little more than normal.
I absolutely love this!!!! I’ve red been searching for someone to help me print right from my gel plate onto my canvas!! TADA!! There you are!!! Bless you my friend!! I’m so excited to start!!!
WOW Ceri, I love how the canvas turned out in the end.
I have a pack of 3 different sized canvases that I've had for years and have never known what to do with them! Now I do!
I will be playing with the gel plate over the weekend, so I think one of them will become and experimental piece!!
Thank you for sharing this idea and your process. xoxo
Hope you’re having fun with your Gel plate 😁 (PS Sorry to hear about the Queen. Was hoping she’d make 100 🙋♀️ from Australia)
Have fun with it.
I was hoping she would as well Allison
Excellent video! Glad to hear you shout out Froyle Davies who has been a great inspiration to many of us in the world of mixed media. Cheers!
Merci c'est très excitant et intéressant j'apprends beaucoup de vos techniques
When I’ll use most of my paper packs, I’m going to try gelli printing. The more I watch you the more I’m looking forward to it - it looks like a lot of fun, experimenting with colours and not knowing what will the result look like :)
It is fun but be aware that not every print will be a success and it is a learning curve but watching many different videos from many different artists is the best way to understand the whole process.
Love the process and the result. Lots of ideas brewing. I like what Froyle does and I have still some prints inspired by her that I haven't used yet. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! Cheers!
I think it would look wonderful doing the reverse gellie plating like you did the other day 👍
It’s worth a thought.
This is a great experience you are sharing with us. Yes you could say that the whole crafting world are addicted to art supplies. One of the better addictions in the world. Thank you for sharing. Love the Canvas art.
Thank you Lorie
just found this, and i love it - your explanations for your decisions are great. thank you for sharing. I will keep an eye out for more, from the Isle of Man xx
Sending my condolences to you and your countrymen. God Bless her soul.
Thank you
Very interesting!
I absolutely love froyle also. Her energy is really wonderful
It certainly is.
Wow. This is great. Hello from Germany
Hello there!
Cool
Yes, it is a totally different way of using the gel plate. It turned out great.
Thank you for sharing!
Interesting!
Next time try dark to light maybe it will give you the drama you wanted.
Not sure..?
Looking good!
Thanks for the tip!
I recently decided to try gel printing again. I really like this piece. I still need to practice but, I definitely use this piece as inspiration in the future. Thank you for sharing.
Wonderful!
Amazing work of art! It seemed to flow so smoothly through your hands. Loved it!
Thank you
Gosh, that was wonderful. Thank you.
Thank you I’m going to try it again one day as I learnt a lot from doing this.
That came out beautiful...! Thanks so much for sharing!
Thank you for my introduction to working with this medium. I will definitely give it a try. I love the finished product and look forward to following your videos. Well done!
Wonderful, thank you
That was awsome thank u so much !! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Eres un genio muy modesto por cierto así se comportan los grandes artistas gracias por mostrar tu lado artístico
Beautiful piece! Such a great idea, too! Thank you sharing this technique!!
You are so welcome!
It looks great to me. Very inspiring. I've just gotten a Gelli plate and am looking for ideas. Thanks Ceri
I enjoyed your creative process. thanks for your sharing along the way, it was really helpful learning. thanks also for the people and links you shared also 🙏
You are so welcome!
Ceri, enjoyed watching the process. Also wanted to say I know you loved the queen and am sorry for your loss.
Thank you and thank you for your condolences.
Nice video-thanks. Really like your color wheel too.
Your last minute enhancement with the black paint was just right. Love your videos!
Thank you
Ceri, I love this piece! And I so appreciate your ability to think aloud as you go. It is so beneficial to hear the whys of your choices. Thank you once again!
Thank you so much Nancy
Beautiful! I have several gel plates, but it never occurred to me to print to my canvases! Thank you for the inspiration.
By the way, my sincerest condolences for the passing of your dear Queen. What a rock and such an amazing woman she was.
Thank you for trey condolences, asa for the canvas be prepare for the flexibility of the working surface.
@@CeriGriffiths You’re so welcome. And yes, I’ve learned you yourself have to be flexible and have a free spirit when it comes to gel printing. It can have a mind of its own.
So nice tecnique on canvaq.thanks for sharing.I want to buy and gelli plate it will be fantastic😊😊😊
Wonderful video and hurrah for successfully trying something new. Grand result!
Thank you
Just found your channel. What fun! I look forward to exploring your other videos.
Happy to discover you! Love Froyle and PM artists. You should check out Carolyn Dube if you haven’t. She has a stenciling technique where she puts it on the plate and puts the whole plate with stencil on the paper. Love this video.
Thank you yes I’m familiar with Carolyn
very satisfying the way that last bit of careful stenciling differentiated the asemic writing from the background! 😊
Thank you
💙💚🖤 Ceri how wonderful that you have been to so many places! I don't like crowds myself, so I can relate. Froyle Davies is one of my favorites! She is so talented and I love her personality!!! Thanx for sharing this canvas with us, it turned out lovely💙💚🖤
Thank you Marie.
Wow, busy. You proceeded with vigor. I enjoyed the process and outcome
Thank you
Loved this video, Ceri !
Congratulations ….Really inspiring !!🤗
Yes….Froyle is such a fab person…..I fell in love with her instantly a few months ago.
She is just pure joy to watch and listen to , and was just what I needed, having recently lost my dear brother, I had also lost my enthusiasm for everything.
Thank you once again for your wonderful tutorials and explanations 🎉🎉🤗🤗💕💕
You are so welcome
I just found your channel and love it.. Great work!!!
Thank you and welcome to my channel
Very interesting. Love the layering and colors. Thanks! Mr. Ceri.
Thank you
Ceri, my deepest condolences on the loss of your beloved Queen.🙏
Debbi thank you
Ceri, if you don't have a baron try using a tea towel folded and folded until it is about 6"x4".
Good idea, thank you
Oh my gosh! This turned out so fantastic! I love it.
Thank you
Fabulous!!! I think Ceri is loving his gelli plates! Thanks for the inspiration!
I do love my gel plates.
What fun this is! Thank you for sharing.
You’re welcome Michelle.
Totally agree re Froyle and PM artists! Discovered you through PM. Enjoying your videos very much.
Thank you and welcome to my channel.
I also love Froyle. She's a hoot.
What a FABULOUS abstract! LOVE IT! (:
Thank you! 😊
Great demo. I am inspired to try this! Thank you!
The final canvas looked great, but for me the blue page you pulled your excess colour onto was amazing, would love to see the final product on that piece.
I’ll have to take a look and see where I’ve put it or if I’ve already used it somewhere.
I love this! I found Froyle Davies last year. I also love her for all the reasons you mentioned. Your take on those techniques look fabulous!
Thank you Carmen.
Cool! I realy love it 🤩 Greatings from Germany, Barbara
I’m glad you did this tonight. I’ve been wanting to work on a canvas and didn’t know how to start. You’ve given me some ideas to try! Thank you!
Great news, but be aware that the flexibility of the canvas can something be a challenge.
I know this is an older video, but I've just found your channel and think it's wonderful! Such good and useful information. Thank you! 💕
You are so welcome!
You put a big smile on my face this morning. Waking up and seeing you posted a gelli print video. You are such a master on the gelli plate and do such wonderful art. Thanks for making my morning a little brighter. The canvas turned out beautiful.
Thank you Debbie
43:48 I’ve so enjoyed watching you work, and your chatting along as you do. I really like what you’ve done with this canvas, superb for a first! I’m going to try this myself today. I’ve subscribed to your video, and hope to watch many more. I’m in the north of England, hope your weather isn’t as wet an cold as it is here 😊
Thank you so much for subscribing and welcome to my channel. It’s definitely cold and wet here.
I am a year late to the party…but I loved this!! Thank you
You are so welcome!
I think this is very beautiful! I'm going to try one tomorrow!
Have fun!
First time I’ve ever come across one of your videos and absolutely loving it. Thank you from Brooklyn, NY.
Thank you and welcome to my channel.
Lovely just lovely 🥰
Thank you
Disney in Florida is so Hot Humid and crowded. There used to be time during the year where it was not so bad but not anymore. I hope you get some sweet Gayle time! Beautiful mono plating Ceri. Namesta 💓🐞💕
Thank you, hot and humid that I’d hate.
Great idea to do a collage on canvas, because then it can be hung on a wall, instead of being hidden in a book !!!
Actually I think you could use the plate, you put the small gelli-plates on, as a stamping-block...just lift it with the gel-pate on and print. 🙂
Thank you for sharing this process. Very inspiring!
You’re welcome
LOVE THIS! so inspiring
So glad to know you, maybe UA-cam put you on my path for our love of Froyle. I just started my channel but made as you reference of her in one of my videos, because she stands both in the personal and profesional sides. Looking forward to see more of your work
Thank you and welcome to my channel.
Perfect timing just found a gel I plate for $6 on clearance today Micheals craft store Thank you for sharing
Have fun Wendy
Hi Ceri! Oh, this canvas looks fantastic! Yeah, a few obstacles with the edges, but you did a great job!
Ah Disney... yeah.. I've been there a couple of times. It was exhausting (but I had son and husband with me). I'm not fond of being in large crowds, so, it's not my thing. I'm glad I went and experienced it, even though a lot of it is aimed at kids.
TFS
One day maybe, but I’m in no rush.
Disney World is the best park. My grandfather worked there as an engineer on the underground equipment, so my first time was before it was open to the public. Watching it expand into what it is today has been amazing. I highly recommend Epcot, there will be fewer children, at least compared to Magic Kingdom, and you can take my favorite ride that I call drink around the world.
Lol….thank you for the advise Tammy.
👍👍Fun class! Looking forward to more gel plate to canvas classes. It was great to hear your thoughts during your process. I love Froyle's videos too. I've only been to Disney World in Orlando (as a child once, and several times as an adult, with and without children). It's a blast and definitely fun for adults, but I would never consider going during peak seasons. It's different for us now as well after Covid, but I think they'll get that figured out soon.
I hope so Debbi
You have to put a credit card or a hard plastic under the frame. If you some wht. on you canvas, you can put a little paint on your finger and put it on the canvas until it looks the same. Or you can find a book or books to go under you canvas until it is level. Put a clear coat on top to make things pop.
All true, thank you Laurie
Nice work. I did a gelli printed canvas as a background for a deli paper gel print collage (focal point). Lots of subtle texture.
Wonderful.
fabulous!
First time watcher here, I absolutely loved this, thank you for sharing.
Welcome to my channel Tina
This came out great!!! Love it! I love how you explain as you go. Thx.

Thank you
Beautiful Ceri. TFS
Thank you Donna
Loved the process, I thought the purple was the wrong choice, I was wrong again. It’s a beautiful canvas. Thanks for taking us on this journey with you.
You’re welcome Sandra
I enjoyed this very much and I have a few unused canvases (that I have had for years) so I hope to give this a try. Tfs
You’re welcome
Another great video. Thank you for the inspiration.
You’re welcome
Loved this, Ceri! Very cool and turned out GREAT! So happy to have found you. Happy New Year to you❤
Happy new year Carolyn
