finally someone who uses he brayer less, and paints the plate with texture ideas. I am tired of people making swatches and thinking it is finished art. You have forged ahead. Good video.

[@HeartstoneArt]

Thanks

[@serenityjewel]

Gelli plate prints are generally used in other projects, like collages and mixed media. That being said, many famous arts have been claiming swatches as finished art for decades so doing so in this instance would be nothing new.

[@scottdsyoung2650]

I like watching tutorials without the talking so I can just follow along and create a piece as I watch it. Thank you

[@HeartstoneArt]

I’m glad! Thank you for sharing.

[@allisonjames2923]

So atmospheric. Waiting for boats to appear out of the mist with a startled sea bird flying across, the rush of their wings, the creak of waves, ropes & boards & the mournful clang of a metal buoy the only sounds

[@HeartstoneArt]

Love this interpretation! It’s so fascinating to hear where the work takes people. Thanks!🥰

[@morningdewgarden7432]

You should author a book containing "feeling art". Those are my thoughts of the work as well.

[@rebeccashaw957]

Allison you need to write poetry if you don't already.

[@jeraldbaxter3532]

What an elegant compliment! Both the print and your words are beautifully expressive! I agree with the others - if you are not already a writer, you should be; whether for publication, communicating with friends or for your own soul, you have a talent.

[@judilynn9569]

I am SO excited to see this demo! You've shown me how to get the effect I've been trying to get for so long. I use too much paint. This is amazing!

[@HeartstoneArt]

Thank you, Judi! And yes - it’s better to work in thin layers - you can always add another layer, you can’t take paint away once it’s on the paper!
