How much paint should you use on your Gelli Plate?

Are you having trouble getting your Gelli Plate to behave correctly? It may be that you haven't mastered how much paint to use. This video will show you what happens if you use too little, too much or just the right amount of paint. It will help you to trouble shoot your own practise and recognise what little tweaks you can make to improve how your gelli plate prints.

Humidity in the environment affects how much paint you need. I lived in a damp region and always struggled with underlying layers of paint attaching to the plate as I pulled the print off which would end up with my paper adhering to the gel plate. I finally reduced the amount of paint to the thin coating as in your first example and I was totally successful. I then moved to a desert region with very low humidity, and like your first example, couldn't get the print to transfer because the paint had dried.

Love how u explain everything,loved the roller one too, i made some the other day but toulet paper rolls werent strang enuff really so was super helpful when i saw u using cling film rollers, much better idea!! New subscriber now and cant wait for your next video. Loving all these different ways to use the gelliplate! Want to make art with it u know?! Thabks again from London uk! Maybe a video using different papers? I get a bit confused with all the different sort of rice and deli papers, are they good because they make good collage fodder or are they esp good for pulling gelli prints?!
