23 New 16"X 20" Gelli Plate Experiments-Loose and Free Techniques
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 гру 2023
- This is my early journey into large format printing on a gel plate (16x20). I've been gel printing for many years but never this large, until I went through a hard season losing my husband to brain injuries. I came across Fulton Sim at @artwhisperer88 who continually inspires many of us with his retro minimalist printmaking with collage, and sometimes, he's inspired from other modern art masters, as he demonstrates.
I'm inspired by Fulton, his art practice, his methodology, and his desire to educate the UA-cam audience about printmaking, but I'm going my own way of exploration with printmaking in an effort NOT TO COPY him. I hope I inspire you in some small way, too.
I am inspired by many other artists, too many to name personally here, but my art heroes continue to influence me daily: Judy Woods Art @judywoodsart and Pam Caughey @PamelaCaughey.
I'm still not 100% and without my best friend, I won't be for awhile. But if I can do this creative life, so can you. Remember, Dreams Never Die.

Happy New Year Kate! 🎉❤ Wishing you good health and creative power! ❤❤❤
Happy New Year to you, too, Fulton. Last year was brutal, but the new year is looking brighter. My bone marrow biopsy results are in my patient portal, and though I don't understand it all, I think it's good news. Peace 🌿 🌿 🌿
WOW KATE -- I am jini - the more I see of your WORKS - the more I want to know more!!!! Every blessing, Kate!!! THANK YOU 😊
Thanks, Jini, so much for blessing me with your encouragement. Peace 🌿
I think every pull I’ve watched you say you don’t like the pull or it’s not successful. Every one of them was so amazing.
Thanks for your amazing comments about my artwork. I appreciate it very much. Peace 🌿 and stay tuned. I have more coming soon after a long interruption. 🌿🌿
I was thinking the same thing.
Kate, I love your work, and I greatly appreciate you sharing your process. As a beginner, it’s incredibly helpful to me to see that even accomplished artists don’t always get masterpieces with every attempt, and that what may look like a failure often can be turned into a beautiful piece with additional layers. And if not, at the very least there is great information to be gleaned from the process. So please don’t ever feel the need to apologize for any perceived “oopses”. Those often provide the best lessons. ❤
Bobbi, thanks for your encouragement. I so appreciate you watching, even my oops, and thanks for your lovely comments. Peace 🌿
Thank you, your persistence reveals beautiful results❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Thanks, Gail for your beautiful comment! Peace to you today! 🌿
Love your work and your tutorials, simply amazing. Thank you xx
Thanks, Samantha, for your lovely, amazing comment! Peace 🌿
I just found you! Yay. You take this to a whole level and BIG. I have an unlimited supply of file folders at work! Haha
Bravo to your art teacher for recognizing your black and brown palette.

Ahhh. I see where Fulton Sims got his inspiration! ❤🎉😅
Actually, I get mine from HIM! Thanks for your comments!!! Peace 🌿
I really loved your brand swirling print with turquoise accents, Thanks for sharing. 😂
Thanks, Anne. I'm looking forward to swirling some more paint around soon. Thanks for your comments. Peace 🌿
Very cool, I love the textures and the colour palette
Thanks, Debbie, for your lovely comments & observations. Peace 🌿
Such a delight to watch you create! You employ such a nice variety of shapes and techniques, results are wonderful. Yes, the lifted paint on the rice paper are rich for collage.
Thanks so much for your delightful comments and observations. I appreciate it so much. Peace 🌿
Love your palette and the freedom of your paint application is an eye opener and very exciting! I think I’ll have another go at gelli printing after some recent dispiriting disasters! Can’t wait for tomorrow! Thank you.
Wow, Carys, you really know how to cheer me up! Thank you for such encouraging comments. As a content creator, it's always my hope to help others see that they, too, can create art they love. To me, that's the secret, loving what you do. If you don't, keep working it until you do! Peace 🌿
Gorgeous! The imperfections make it!
Thanks for your gorgeous comments! Peace 🌿
What marvelous abandon! I really enjoyed your experimentation. It’s a good reminder to try new techniques and color combinations.
Thanks, Carol, so much for your feedback. It does feel a little wreckless breaking the "rules!" Happy New Year! Peace 🌿
I really enjoy your work. And yes, that black-brown is your palette. So rich. I absolutely love that first pull.
Thanks, Donna, for your lovely comments. Yummy black and brown! Peace 🌿
I like this direction! Thank you for sharing your process.

Thanks so much, FaganQuin for your observations & comments. Peace 🌿
The explorations and lovely textures are delightful. Love your process and wonderful prints. The blue and tan …lovely.( @ 19 min). The brown and black intuitive pallet is wonderful. The Rothko layer is delicious. Wow! Your art teacher was right! Wishing you all the best. Making art can be very healing. So sorry for your loss. Thank you for the wonderful video. So glad I found your channel.
Wow! Thanks, Jackie, for your many observations and comments about the video. You know how to encourage a girl! Thanks for watching! Peace 🌿

That one in the beginning looked like an aerial hurricane map at one point 😅
I can see that, Karin! Thanks for watching! Peace 🌿
Like Fulton says, the ghost always wins! Btw, welcome to S.A.! I've lived here for more than 50 years, so if you're new here, let me know if I can help. Best Thai food in town? Thai Cafe, a humble little place off Nacogdoches run by Lek and her daughters. Great museums - the old Pearl brewery now houses the SA Museum, and the McNay (used to be free, haven't been since covid tho). You probably know all this tho! Anyways, great session!
Thanks for the Welcome to SATX! LOVE Pearl area. ❤️ ❤️❤️

I just bought the 16 X20 gelli plate. Now I will have to rearrange my Art room. 😁
Oh, how fun, Beth! Congratulations on your new obsession!! Peace 🌿
Love your work and find these videos so inspiring! One question -- it seems like you get a lot more open time with your paints than I do. I am using similar brands, but find they dry on the plate pretty quickly. Any thoughts or suggestions on open / drying time would be appreciated!
Emily, many people ask me that. I can't explain why, other than I'm using heavier body paints. I find Amsterdam acrylics to be great for my purposes. It's a learning curve for how much paint to use, but I tend to use more than average applications. I work quickly to remove my masks, and I use 💯 % watercolor paper or printmaking papers for absorption & good transfers. Peace 🌿
Love your explorations. What is your printing table?
Thank you, Arabella! My table is a table from Home Depot, covered with 4ml plastic, then a 24"× 36" quarter inch plexiglass. My registration guides are 2 T-squares set to measures for accommodating my 16x20" gelli plate. Here's a link for these: www.amazon.com/dp/B08HWCLV87/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_apa_gl_i_S4NEX165SGW75B5QEQ00?linkCode=ml2&tag=katewortart-20. I got the plexiglass from Home Depot also. Hope this helps! Peace 🌿
Thank you. I Also love your patterns on manila folders.
why do you spray with alcohol. Is it a different effect from water?
Yes, Claudia, it disperses the pigment differently, maybe a little more motley...try it, you'll see. Thanks for your question. Peace 🌿
Can you say what paper you use to pull large format prints? I would love a link as Amazon doesn’t seem to have a range of sizes and assuming Kraft paper rolls aren’t strong enuf ? Tx.

There should be a link below the video in the notes for the items I use. I don't order that much paper from Amazon. Most papers I use come from Dick Blick and I ake advantage of quantity discounts when I can. Kraft paper isn't strong enough for this kind of printmaking. Perhaps on a small plate for collage papers, but this kind of pulling needs a stronger paper. Here's an Amazon link, but pricey. amzn.to/3IGc3hQ

so some of your pulls not perfect, eh? GOOD!! cause our favorite is perfectly imperfect anyway!!!! beautiful work!!!! what is your kittie's name?
Hi Judith! Thanks for your beautiful comments! His name is Paco. He and his sister, Chula, are a year old and rescue kitties from the Cattery in Corpus Christi TX. Peace 🌿
I just heard you say cold pressed fabriano or blick but to clarify, I mean posters that are uneven edges… or larger like 4x6? I think you’re saying watercolor is good but is photo paper, inkjet? Bond all workable?
Susan, If you mean 4x6 feet, you'd have to find paper on a roll. Amazon does have a mixed media paper on a roll. It may be Strathmore, I'm not sure. I've used cold & hot press watercolor paper or printmaking paper. The importance is the fiber content for paint absorption. You'll get best results with 100% cotton papers. There are cotton w cellulose that work but not always with best results, but they are usually student grade and cheaper. If you want to use inkjet copy papers, you'll get good collage paper results on a small plate 8x10 or smaller. I don't recommend photo papers. All these papers I'm using in these larger format prints are 22x30" single sheets, some with deckled edges, some with straight. You'll need to experiment lots to find what you prefer according to the size of your plate & paint you're using. I hope this helps. I'm sorry for any confusion. Peace 🌿
Hat paper to you use?
I used Fabriano hot press, but I ran out, and now I'm using Blick watercolor paper, which I'm really liking. 100% cotton is the key to good printmaking results.
Please, when you say your work is not so great, or you don't like a pull, you are prejudicing our view negatively. We nay lovr it or be inspired. Love to you.
Thank you, Christine, I never thought of it that way. I'm just expressing my impressions or expectations not met. But I get what you're saying. I'll get better. Peace to you.
@KateWordArt my comment in no way was intended to demean the ongoing struggles with disappointments routinely experienced in the studio, especially for me, with the unexpected results in gel printmaking. Thanks, I am inspired by your work.
