This is really amazing! I loved every second of this video. I'll be watching again and sharing with all of my printing friends. The thing that has always frustrated me is the more "crafting" side of using a gel plate. This truly feels like fine art level. Kudos to your innovation. You make this purchase very tempting!
You can make tour own gelli plates any size you want and much cheaper than buying them. They work great and last a long time. I love your work and your videos.
I absolutely love the crow monoprint!! I have a magpie I have linocut that I should dig out to play with. It's funny because I don't think I have the patience for masking tape collograph but I will happily carve a lino block! Great video as usual! Tfs
This is a general link to the source, not to the item, itself. If you replace the "printmaking.html" with "narrow-rubber-roller-red.html" you will go directly to the range of narrow brayers. There is also an interesting-looking option more like a round-edged wheel at "narrow-rubber-roller-black-curved-7mm-wide.html" Failing any of those working, for whatever technical reasons, searching the overall site for "narrow rubber roller" will call up both options.
Hi Yeates. Thank you for the answer. My question is about the big gelli plate you used in this fantastique technique of yours. I could see that you are an extraordinary artist. Thank you so much for sharing your art with the public.
If “chuffed” means really happy, then I’m chuffed to have watched this video! I have been at my plates all day, wondering if I am ready for the big plate and after viewing this video, I am convinced it’s time to order! I enjoy working larger. You also answered a long lingering question of using canvas board. Awesome video! You made my day.
Your absolutely spectacular process and work is second only to your generous spirit! You’ve inspired me to try this to get thru a struggle I am currently facing with my backgrounds. Thank you. 🙏
It's amazing for backgrounds. Tonight I ma going to do an A2 Otis Redding on canvas board and most of the fun will be in layering, sanding, collaging that background : )
@@yeatesmakes can I see it? I love Otis. Your Augustus print is fab. As a textile artist, I would love to see stitching and possibly more mixed media. A technique I’ve used is to glue ripped newspaper down onto canvas board, paint over with tinted gel medium and sand the edges so they blend into board.
Oh, I just LOVE this. The crow/raven is so expressive. I have crows, and wish they would befriend me. But they are country crows and don't need our offerings of food, so they stay away. I love all your videos. And its a joy to see how you create.
Cheers Shannon, I have very friendly Robins and blackbirds in my garden... the rooks roost near my house and make a real racket at bedtime so I don't want to befriend them!!!!
Wow I thought my 12x14 was big. But that is huge and glorious, and I can see many positives with this. And I have found Amsterdam is one of my favorite acrylics to work with, especially my base layer. Thank you for your videos and sharing your skills., you are so inspiring.
What a fabulous video! I love how you have combined the techniques from previous videos. Thanks so much for trying new things and sharing your knowledge. You are a gem!
This is so inspiring. I am amazed by how reliable your transfer process is I still can't get it to happen reliably. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.
A fellow printmaker sent me your link last night - and I have been 'binge watching' ever since. You are so generous and such a brilliant and inspirational communicator - thank you so much. I knew nothing about gel printing - now I can't wait to try!
Thank you so much for the time to create this video. I have watched a number of your videos but until today have not been able to have a successful transfer process. Inspired by you whilst travelling to the uk I bought some Amsterdam paint and today I persevered & created my first print that worked. I think the extra time in the plate helped too. I am so excited at taking my creativity on a new journey. Thank you
Cheers Paula, glad you enjoyed. That paper collagraph techniue is loads of fun, you get some really unexpected results, as well as some predictable ones too!
Epic as ever and I can’t believe your crow is SO similar to work I have been doing with a linocut crow representing threat . I think your Dad would be so proud of you making your amazing journey accessible to us all . Thank you
This is a great video for inspiring me to finally unpack my Gel plates that I purchased about 5 or 6 years ago. A local art supplier was closing shop and studio and the reduced prices were so low I couldn’t resist. Now I’m seriously considering it might be time to start using them 😎
A big gel plate like that needs a talented artist such as yourself to do it justice. I really enjoy watching you create--always stunning work! I learn so much from you.
I have a large gel plate but never had big enough paper to m as ke a print full sized. You make me want to find tge right paper and play with my gel plate. Thanks for the inspiration. I love your prints. So cool as always
Glad you feel inspired. You should be able to pick up some smooth drawing paper to print on at the art store or online BUT try anything... for example, I'm planning on using cardboard box, flattening it and then printing on that!
You just get better and better--both at finding new ways to exploit the potential of gel plates and at delivering quality productions that convey huge amounts of information and inspiration with great economy. On pretty much any other channel,--especially art channels--I'd evaluate the likelihood that a 30-minute video would be worth sitting through. Here, I just dove in, knowing I'd emerge yet-more-inspired and better informed. You delivered in spades! These pieces are awesome creations, and really expand upon the techniques you've explored in other videos, over the last year-plus. Registering your individual, shaped plates directly on the print is a great idea (so long as there's no risk the tape will pull up your ink!). ...Now that I write that, I'm thinking perhaps a longer "tail," even if of scrap paper or mat (mount) board, would let you fix the position, without risking the surface character of your print. I also greatly appreciate the evaluative comments on the utility of a plate that size. Waiting for this video was like being a kid waiting for Christmas. I've been eyeing a 16 x 20 gel plate for some months, now, but wondered whether I'd actually make use of it. Your results have convinced me it's right up my alley. Kudos also to your partner for nabbing the skinny brayer for you. You put it to exceptionally good (if delayed) use. It occurs to me that the small area of contact might also deliver an intensified pressure, much like the rounded bowl of the wooden spoon you use to rub down your prints. But those marks it makes are, indeed, exceptionally nice. I particularly love the crow print. (Check your email.) Partly that's because I particularly love crows. They're such designerly birds; rather like penguins but without the overbearing flash and too-cute bowling pin bodies. But even more than the fact I love crows, I love your print because of the range of expressive marks and techniques you incorporated into the image. Sorry if I repeat superlatives too often, here; I flail to come up with new ones on this channel. But that print is absolutely stunning! Definitely among the best work I've seen you post!
I completely agree with Xeno! Your giant gel plate video is incredible. The other demos are excellent as well but this one has raised the bar. So professionally produced. It has been informative and inspiring to view and review all of the stages of your work. You are the rock star of the art tutorial channels! Thank you for your generosity.
Hi Xeno, as ever, thank you so much for the comment. I was worried about publishing a longer video - felt a bit self-indulgent! I am delighted people feel there is enough in there to justify 30 mins. Go for it with the larger plate, I've only used it three times and am totally convinced it's worth it in terms of freedom to push techniques. Thanks so much for the support and loyalty to the channel x
@@yeatesmakes You're most welcome for any support I've been able to provide. It's much deserved! I forgot to say elsewhere that I vote for the video on combining laser prints. I'd really like to see your take on piecing them to achieve a larger imaging area. I've got some ideas of my own, as well, and would love to see what you come up with!
Wonderfully edited for momentum and interest. I can imagine the real time work took many hours. I love the screenprint look achieved with some of these methods without the excess bother. Congrats on making most of humongous gelli plate. Working on that takes real artistic commitment as a bad result would be hugely disappointing. Reversing the guy's image on photocopier before transfer could be interesting, too.
Cheers Chris, the work did take a while but you make the time when its fun! the screen print look technique is something i'm really pleased to have developed, as you say, actual photo emulsion screen printing is a lot of bother...
Lol! Not sure about famous but it is really lovely to read so many supportive comments and know that folks are inspired to try something new : ) Thanks, as ever, for comments and support marijke x
Your prints are getting more and more professional! Maybe it has something to do with the size but both your prints are fantastic. So nice to hear that you fell in love with this large plate. And then that skinny brayer...I've been searching but I can't find it. Does your partner have a little tip? Or...keep it to yourself, sell them and go rich, because I think the gelplate/mixed media world will go crazy over them 🤪... I'll be the first to buy one! You're a true gelplate specialist, thanks Mark! 👍
Absolutely brilliant! Getting tired of the messy gel print videos where they slap on paint and premade templates with predictable outcomes. This is beautiful ART! I just purchased the larger gel plate, and this video is just what I needed to inspire me. Thank you!
Really cool techniques! I love how you are using stencils and resists with the gelli plate. You have sparked some ideas for my own work. Thanks so much for sharing. 😍
Fabulous video. I learned so much and just love watching you work. I recently purchased a large gelli plate, too. I hope my work can come out even a 10th as well as yours and I will be in heaven! Thank you for the demo. You have inspired me to try something more complicated than I have so far.
Wow, what incredible work! I just love all of the techniques you have shown on your videos but this one takes the cake! So much interest in your pieces. Would love to know if you sell your work online? Thank you for sharing all that you are learning with the gel plate. I have watched many videos over the years using it but you have moved it full speed into the fine arts world. Your work is fantastic!
Mark, Another fantastic video with two very different, yet wonderful pieces! Love how you dove right in and didn't seem to hesitate or get intimidated by the mega-plate. The poster size seems like a great fit for you. So much going on here that I will have to view a few times at least. Glad that the channel has provided you with a bit of income to dazzle us even more.
This is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing your techniques. I like the bird collograph plate as an art piece in itself after you did the first pull with it.
Absolutely gorgeous prints! You have perfected gelli-printing to real art. It's always fascinating watching you do your prints. Really enjoyed this inspiring video. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
A pleasure to share, not sure I've perfected anything, you know how it goes when you make stuff, never entirely comfortable !!!! i guess that's the push to keep going
Really loved your video and your use of all the different techniques! Thank you so much for sharing. My 11x14 gel plate hasn’t left the box yet! Getting up the courage to give it a try 😆
Love it all! Been working with gel plate, collagraphe with tape... love them both...love mixing them and all thanks to you. I didn't know about either technique. Merci beaucoup ❤
Really enjoyed that!! As always it's inspiring to see how you mix a very deliberate drawing style with the loose graphic experimentation of shape and color. What a wonderful gift you've given us, so many techniques for combining drawing with printing. So great you were able to give yourself the large plate to work on!
Es absolutamente maravillosa la imaginación y la inventiva que tienes. Cada una de las técnicas es todo un mundo de posibilidades. Es increíble la cantidad de opciones y soluciones que se te ocurren. Me encantan tus vídeos, muchas gracias por compartir todo este conocimiento.
I’ve been watching lots of gel plate videos to get an understanding of what I’m able to produce using this method. I’m trained in textiles and have used various methods of applications for transfer. Most of the videos I’ve seen are basic. You’ve got a great understanding of layers and I feel ready to take the plunge. I want a method for transferring direct to furniture, this large plate will be fantastic for working on cabinet doors, table tops etc. Thank you for taking time to record and share.
Hi Aunty Doris, glad my videos are helping you. Would love to know how it goes transferring onto furniture. comment again once you've had a go or email me pics at markyeatesat@hotmail.com : )
OH WOWSERS!!! I love both pieces and YES YES YES to the giant gel plate .... Here's hoping to see more ... you've made my Sunday 👍👍 Greetings from Amsterdam NL
You had me at crow. But as soon as you mentioned book, I paused the video, hit Google and purchased immediately. It’s said one doesn’t find a good book, it finds you. Thank you 🖤
You’re an amazing artist! I’ve had that large gel plate for several years and have mixed feelings about it. For me, it’s a bit difficult to handle, store, and clean, compared to the smaller ones, plus, it takes a lot more paint. However, I still have a bit of fun with it, especially when I want to create larger sheets of collage papers. My husband was a squadron commander a few years ago and their mascot was a raven (aka, black crow). I made him several raven-themed items to decorate his office and he would have also loved that bad-arse crow you created!
Reall enjoy your videos. I tried making my own gel plate and it was a disaster…so I bought a Gelli plate. Did some tests and they were ok. My artmaking leans more towards traditional printmaking and loose like yours. This video on the larger plate shares tips I needed to try again today. I was approaching my tools incorrectly and got bad prints. Now I understand better, after watching this video, how I should have been using my drawing tools and the order of printing to get good results. Gonna try now. Will watch yr other videos for more understanding. Thanks so much!
You’re one of the lucky few who got that size plate. Now sold out on literally every art supplier.

I couldn't agree more.
I’m in agreement with you. Gel plate is only the bare beginning. 👍🏻
You can make tour own gelli plates any size you want and much cheaper than buying them. They work great and last a long time. I love your work and your videos.
Hi it’s me from camping skyla you’ve come such a far way congrats!❤
Hey Yeates! This is top shelf stuff-showing how gel plates etc. can be used for more than scrapbook/card making/etc stuff! Well done.
I absolutely love the crow monoprint!! I have a magpie I have linocut that I should dig out to play with. It's funny because I don't think I have the patience for masking tape collograph but I will happily carve a lino block! Great video as usual! Tfs
hi pippi, don't be put off, if you have patience for lino you'll easy get through masking tape technique : )

Thank you for sharing the link to the brayer.
It's interesting.
can't find the name of that thin brayer form your link. It's like a tracing wheel with no serration. Can you give me a proper name for it?
If “chuffed” means really happy, then I’m chuffed to have watched this video!

You only live once Gretchen so treat yourself x
chuffed is happy btw! i had to look it up but apparently comes from old english meaning 'swollen with fat''. i can kind of see the link!!!!
I've got that one, and I love it. You don't NEED to use the entire space, but having that option is great
Indeed, agreed, it's like stretching out in a big pool after having your knees up in the bath for a year!

What a fabulous video! I love how you have combined the techniques from previous videos. Thanks so much for trying new things and sharing your knowledge. You are a gem!
Cheers Lori, glad you're still enjoying : )
that crow brings joy to my heart.
That's great Jayne, I love to see them, and the rooks going to roost at night. My favourites are Jackdaws, beautiful birds : )
This is so inspiring. I am amazed by how reliable your transfer process is I still can't get it to happen reliably. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.
mine are pretty reliable but it took a while to realise how much difference timing, thickness of paint and pressure makes...
Good for you! Keep having fun...I know I'm having fun just watching you!
Fun first!!!
I've just bought my first gelli plate and can't wait to play with this process.
I could watch you do this all day. Your process is fascinating and I love both pieces.
Bravo! Bravo! Great process with your monster Gelli plate Mark. Stunning results and thanks for sharing.
A pleasure : )
WOW! you have blown my mind with all your Gelli printing techniques, thank you, will definitely be recommending you to all of my subscribers😁
That's great Suzi, thanks! I'll give your channel a plug too : )

With a bit of imagination, its a really versatile bit of kit - you'll love it!
Your an absolute master and for you the big plate is definitely worth it. both pieces are phenomenal and intricate… love the 2nd one 🤩

Oo thanks for your work and generous sharing. ❤

Hi Alice, thanks so much, was a fun one to make. Just cracked the big gelli out again and been playing...
Oh my god, this video was absolutely riveting the entire way through. Incredible work! ❤
Wow! Love! That’s a lot of work, but it sure does show in the end result with all the yummy texture and layers! Thank you for sharing 💜

: ) Cheers for the comment, those paper collagraphs are loads of fun
Another fantastic video. Thanks so much!
A pleasure Mary - cheers ; )
Thanks for sharing your experience and art! I especially liked your techniques for incorporating text.
Brilliant and glorious!!!!! Enjoyed the process and your joy in art making!!!!
Absolutely gorgeous prints! You have perfected gelli-printing to real art. It's always fascinating watching you do your prints. Really enjoyed this inspiring video. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
A pleasure to share, not sure I've perfected anything, you know how it goes when you make stuff, never entirely comfortable !!!! i guess that's the push to keep going
Ur enthusiasm is contagious and ur videos simply fantastic !
So fun to watch your process and fabulous results!
Really enjoyed watching this, thank you for sharing 😊
Terrific image, and ingenious method.
Watching you is a master class in mixed media printmaking. The way you layer techniques is a revelation. The large plate is in good hands!
Hi Robin, I really like working in layers which is why I've fallen for the gel plate. Thanks for all the comments and kind words : )
You are a joy. And a wonderful teacher!!
Cheers Jo, that's really kind to share : )
Really loved your video and your use of all the different techniques! Thank you so much for sharing. My 11x14 gel plate hasn’t left the box yet! Getting up the courage to give it a try 😆
Oh my word Renee, crack it out, you're burning daylight!!!!!
I am in love, too! With your videos! You are a stunning, inspiring, generous tutor!
Just came across this video. Your work is amazing...and your techniques, even more amazing. Thank you!
This is just flippin' incredible!!!! Such amazing talent and creativity.... and you are great at teaching it in an understandable way!! Thank you!
I absolutely loved this video. Your enthusiasm is contagious.
Whoa this was amazing. Love how you mix your techniques and play. Learned a lot. But mostly enjoyed watching you work. Thank you.
Love it all! Been working with gel plate, collagraphe with tape... love them both...love mixing them and all thanks to you. I didn't know about either technique.
Merci beaucoup ❤
Fantastic news, glad vids are useful to you : ) and thanks for taking time to leave a comment, much appreciated
Great stuff, can't wait to see the bigger pieces
Will be more coming I'm sure!
Really enjoyed that!! As always it's inspiring to see how you mix a very deliberate drawing style with the loose graphic experimentation of shape and color. What a wonderful gift you've given us, so many techniques for combining drawing with printing. So great you were able to give yourself the large plate to work on!
Cheers Janet, a pleasure to share and I'm really bowled over by all the appreciative comments and encouragement : )
Es absolutamente maravillosa la imaginación y la inventiva que tienes. Cada una de las técnicas es todo un mundo de posibilidades. Es increíble la cantidad de opciones y soluciones que se te ocurren. Me encantan tus vídeos, muchas gracias por compartir todo este conocimiento.
Muchas gracias Merxe, tu mensaje es muy amable
This was an extremely cool and helpful video, thank you! Waiting for my big gel plate to arrive....going to use your video as a starting tutorial :)
Awesome job! So enjoy your videos. You should be getting sponsorship support for your innovative work!
Lol!!! Not sure I want sponsorship, might kill the fun of making vids if I have to bang on about products and make sure I feature packaging!!!
Absolutely amazing!😍😍😍 Thank you for sharing!
A pleasure June : )
I've been stuck in a creative rut of late and And just wanted to say that you have Inspired me. Thank you
That's my favourite type of comment : )
I’ve been watching lots of gel plate videos to get an understanding of what I’m able to produce using this method. I’m trained in textiles and have used various methods of applications for transfer. Most of the videos I’ve seen are basic. You’ve got a great understanding of layers and I feel ready to take the plunge. I want a method for transferring direct to furniture, this large plate will be fantastic for working on cabinet doors, table tops etc. Thank you for taking time to record and share.
Hi Aunty Doris, glad my videos are helping you. Would love to know how it goes transferring onto furniture. comment again once you've had a go or email me pics at markyeatesat@hotmail.com : )
LOVE this idea! Brilliant! Nice art piece too!
Cheers, was a fun one to make!
OH WOWSERS!!! I love both pieces and YES YES YES to the giant gel plate .... Here's hoping to see more ... you've made my Sunday 👍👍 Greetings from Amsterdam NL
Both these pieces are wonderful and I love seeing all the techniques you combine to make these.
You are such a brilliant artist. I LOVE your work. So inspiring.
So grateful you are sharing your techniques. So much fun to watch and help me decide if a gel plate is right for me. Thx.
You had me at crow. But as soon as you mentioned book, I paused the video, hit Google and purchased immediately. It’s said one doesn’t find a good book, it finds you. Thank you 🖤
Love it! If you enjoy, get 'Lanny' by the same author, that's a cracker : ) x
Your technique with the masking tape is so fascinating.
I love it, been a bit distracted with the gel plate but printing off masking tape is really rewarding : )
Your work is amazing. You have taugh me so much in this video. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent.
Glad you got some useful tips from the video - a pleasure to share some ideas : )
You’re an amazing artist! I’ve had that large gel plate for several years and have mixed feelings about it. For me, it’s a bit difficult to handle, store, and clean, compared to the smaller ones, plus, it takes a lot more paint. However, I still have a bit of fun with it, especially when I want to create larger sheets of collage papers.
My husband was a squadron commander a few years ago and their mascot was a raven (aka, black crow). I made him several raven-themed items to decorate his office and he would have also loved that bad-arse crow you created!
un video absolutamente fantastico¡¡¡Muchas gracias por compartir tu arte¡¡
Reall enjoy your videos. I tried making my own gel plate and it was a disaster…so I bought a Gelli plate. Did some tests and they were ok. My artmaking leans more towards traditional printmaking and loose like yours. This video on the larger plate shares tips I needed to try again today. I was approaching my tools incorrectly and got bad prints. Now I understand better, after watching this video, how I should have been using my drawing tools and the order of printing to get good results. Gonna try now. Will watch yr other videos for more understanding. Thanks so much!
