Printing Single Prints with Multiple Layers with a Gelli Arts® Printing Plate!

- Watch as Birgit Koopsen shows us how to create multiple layers in one single print! Starting with her 8x10 Gelli® plate, she creates a colorful, light background. She then stamps into the wet paint. Using an darker accent color, she uses stamps to apply interesting colors to the background. She continues to add colors and patterns until she has a colorful print. After she lets the print dry on the Gelli Arts® printing plate, she applies a thin layer of white acrylic paint and pulls the most gorgeous print yet! We had to try this one ourselves, and ended up with art we are proud of.

One word GREAT!!!!!! Thanks so much!!!
That is incredible!
Thank you!
beautiful!
Very informative, thank you!
Did you use the "pouring matte med for the final pull? Great video...the best!
Instead of adding the third color by brayering from paint on paper, I would get a second plate going in place of the paper. It could be even just the 6 inch square or round, but then... more prints!
that is so cool! Will try for sure!
Great technique, but I'm wondering why not do this straight on to the paper - without using the plate? Think I'll try doing both versions & see what the difference is. Must admit, though, that the using the plate is probably more fun, as you're never quite sure what the outcome will be :)
That exact same though dawned on me. So I now just make a design straight on the paper often.
I have watched a lot of Gelli plate artists and was wondering why they’re doing it tbh then I saw your work and I loved it this is me and what I would like to achieve I’m new at this. Thank you for this at last a GELLI plate ARTIST!! will subscribe 🤩
I can't wait to try this. Ooh can imagine copying the gelli print onto address labels and using them as stickers. Soo many possibilities.
Enjoy! :)
I am a lifelong painter and printmaker. I have recently been working with the Gelli plate and acrylic paint getting great results ( with all kinds of papers, mixed media methods etc.).
I have studied your video thinking it would be a good place to start with my students ( with premade stamps and minimal process).
I have tried your method several times with zero pickup results! The fluid acrylics seem to simply be staining the Gelli plate - nothing more. The transparent mixing white is not picking them up. I have tried different papers with no results.
In studying other artists who work with the Gelli plate ( artists who talk to the viewer) I get excellent results with no problems.
Btw, I use Golden paints and quality papers. My plates are all Gelli brand.
Please advise how to go about achieving success with your method and materials.
Thank you,
Lynn
I'm wondering instead of white paint, can you use a gel medium?
Yes, you can, just experiment a little with different brands/types on how much you need and how fast they dry. I had really good results with matte mediums. Have fun! and thank you :)
I love my gelli plate & I will be trying this with my friend this weekend. Birgit, I just love what you produce - thanks x
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much. Those prints are really really stunning and gorgeous too. I really really love 💕 each one. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
Stunning, more please!
I'm in awe!!! I've never seen this technique b4. Wow!!! Nice!!!
You did it again, Birgit! Being a lazy crafter, I like this technique so much more than pulling layer after layer. Thank you for always making such great videos!
Thank you so much and my pleasure!
Thank you! For doing it in real time and actually slowly showing your print! Lovely 💕
This has been the best video techs for Gelli plattes I've seen so far. Thank you you just helped me not quit 😂.
Hallo Birgit, kannst du mir bitte sagen, woher die Gummiplatten sind.ich suche schon überall danach. Aus den USA ist es zu teuer, da Zuviel Zoll dazu kommt.
Vielen Dank für das super Video
Birgid
Great instructional video. In real time is always best for these tutorials 👍✌️
💖💖💖
Thank you so much for showing this process!
Wonderful, as always. TY!
Wow thanks Birgit that's fabulous. Will have to try this technique Pat xx
I learned so much from this video! I didn’t know that a thin coat and immediate pull at the end is the thing to do. I do wish you would show paint colors/brands. I’m a newbie and am trying to build my stash. Color is important to me and when I see something used that I like I’d like to be able to buy it. I’m sure you guys understand that.
I thought it was going to be too much, too busy...but wrong, this is gorgeous!! Thank you.
Wow! Love this technique. TFS
Wow totally awesome love this Thankyou for sharing.
Totally in love with your creative gelli work ...
What do you do with the print after.
Wow, that is stunning! I have to try that. Thank you for showing how to do it.
this is amazing! beautiful colors!!!
These are just stunning. I definitely want to try this out.
Hi Birgit, OMG this is stunning, I will need to try this, you make it look so easy, what a fabulous background you have created here, I absolutely love it !!
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Thank you Patricia!
OMG this is just wonderful
whats the difference with using that mixing white? I never realize it can be used for something different and love it now I seen this but was just wondering so I can better apply it too
You're the Mistress of the Gelli Plate! I love your work. Thank you for sharing. ❤❤❤
What's the transparency level of the paint you're using & should they vary in level of transparency. Some are more trans than others. Recommend a specific brand? Thanks!
Tried this technique eight times and never could get it work. Disappointing.
i also have tried this numerous times and the bottom layers do not come up I only get the top whitesh layer. I have let the bottom layers dry thoroughly and have put a very thin white layer. What am I doing wrong?
Same. This didn't work at all for me. It only pulled off a few broken up areas, and I was left with 95% of the design on the gel plate which I had to wash off. What a waste of paint. :( I even rewatched the video two more times to see if I did anything differently. I didn't.
Can you use normal background stamps instead of texture plates as long they are not alpha or numbers ?.....and I presume drop them into water straight away....I am still learning ....love it...
Fantastic tutorial! Thank you so much for clearly explaining the process. I have a long weekend starting today and this will be my art playtime favorite to start with!❤
Have you tried this with cotton/muslin fabric? I want to make my own fabric to make bags and purses.
Wow these are beautiful creation. I just got back from a workshop on this art form I've learned some of the basic but wasn't overly inspired until I see this video wow. What do you do with some of the finished products
Great video! subscribed 🙂
What is the advantage to using the plate instead of creating it directly on the paper?
Very nice
this is wonderful - thank you for showing this and i cannot wait to try it out !!!
Thank you and my pleasure!
Wow, thanks! I've heard of gelli prints but no idea how it was done! Thank You so much, I now have to try this!!!
Omg. So gorgeous
awesome
How long do you let it dry? Is it so that you can touch the plate without anything comming off?
Thanks so much for this! Your work is beautiful!!! I’m going to try this on watercolor paper and wondering if I should gesso first. Off to experiment!
Very nice. I bought a small 5x7 plate to try and loved it so much that I got a 12x12 one! So addictive! Do you have a tutorial on how you made the stamps you used?
Thank you for this tutorial, can you please let me know where to get the circles foam stamp? It's gorgeous! :)
Beautiful!! Do you let the paint dry before adding another color?☺️
So if I used a stencil with writing would I need to do it mirrored so that it would appear correctly with this technique?
Definitely didn't work with regular acrylic white paint at the end
A great video, the subtitles really help.
Will this work if you use thick card stock and canvas roll as opposed to paper? thanks
So pretty..What kind of paper can u use for this?
Very nice it is your picture. GLG Benedikta
I just love this tecknic and have been doing it alot .
if you do your final layer thin on your gelli plate that has layers of dried leftovers, will it pull all those great colors off ?
Awesomeness!! Thank you for sharing.
Thankyou! This has truly helped me 😊
Wow........what more can I say ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💙💙💙💚💜
That would be so pretty as a glass cutting board
Can you use the same technique with fabric as well?
@Deborah Morrisey • I would like to know about applying this to fabric also. Did you ever find out?
Yvonne there are specialty paints just for fabric. This paint would make the fabric too stiff. I tried the fabric paint and still found it to be a little stiff but would work ok on a quilt which is generally what I’d use it for.
Yvonne try On point quilting with Nancy. She does a lot of fabric painting. You can find her on you tube.
Very cool. I would love to see how you make your stamps.
Love it❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ Awesome technique!!!!
That is fantastic I gotta try that thank you 😊
Wow! Amazing. I want to try this for a ready made journal background ❤
Gorgeous!! I love this technique!
This looked very interesting to try. I went through the process but when it came time to lift the print with the paper, only patches released from the Gelli Pad and the remainder stayed on the pad, so it was an epic fail :) Do you know why this might have happened? I had a base layer of rolled on colour, then stamps and stencils in various colours on top of that. It dried between some of the colour applications, and it was dry when I added the transparent mixing white. Thanks for any assistance!
What I've learned is acrylic dry quickly you have to work with them in a timely fashion that might have been part of your problem the acrylic dry before you made the print
This piece is gorgeous X 100 🌻👍
Beautiful!! Did I understand correctly, Birgit, that you can use any acrylic as last layer?
Yes, you can, just experiment a little on how much and how fast they dry. Have fun! and thank you :)
This didn't work at all for me. I followed the directions precisely. When I pulled the paper off, it just pulled a few broken up sections off, and 95% of the design was still on my gelli pad. I tried a second coat of thin white, just in case. Now hardly anything came off. I was forced to wash the near entire design off. :( :( Now I did use the thinner sandwich paper, which works great on regular printing on the gelli pad. But it totally failed on this.
After this failure, I just pulled out another sheet, and did the design of my choice using the roller than stamps directly on the paper. Easier. No wasted paint.
I wouldn't washed it off I would have added a little more wet paint on top and tried making another print sounds like your paint was dry
Great technique, but my paper would get stuck on that plate..
I'm sure it won't! Just pull it right away!
I'm trying this! :-)
If you don't have any 'mixing white' and don't want to use just a regular white acrylic is there anything else you could use to lift the print?
Some sort of clear gel?
Airbrush medium?
Anything?
Fran OnTheEdge I believe you can use a gel medium. Hope this helps!
@@normaclark1699 thank you for that.
Gorgeous, Birgit. I love watching you create.
Thank you!!
Gorgeous print!
Love it ❤️🧡💛💚
What kind of pen could you use to write on top of your finished print?
Posca pen's are good. You get them in different nib sizes and colours. My ultimate favourite for adding details on a finished print is Signo hybrid white gel pen. It really shows up as not all white pens do.
Beautiful
Beautiful!
Yummy print!!
Amazing!
WOW! Just WOW!
Wonderful!
Outstanding!!
Fantastic! I want to try this technique on fabric. If I use a fabric paint or add a fabric medium to the fluid acrylics, can I use it on fabric? My mind is buzzing with ideas. Thank you for sharing all these wonderful techniques.
You should be able to, Wanda.
Thank you, Judy Shea. I'm planning to try. :)
beautiful
Wowza
I tried this technique multiple times and I can’t seem to get a full print. Only about half of my paint comes up. I used white acrylic paint in a thin layer. I didn’t using mixing white. Is that why? Please help! Thanks!
I have the same problem, and I did buy mixing white and it didn't seem to make any difference. I'm wondering if it's the paper I'm using. I tend to use mixed media paper, but thought it might be too thick and too textured for this method. I don't mind having some white areas left on my paper, but it certainly doesn't look like Birgit's.
Mine comes off blotchy too, some paint sticks to the gel and won't peel off
. I can't understand how to do it like this video.
Same problem. I followed the video and directions precisely, and all I got were a few wispy areas that came off onto the paper. 95% was left on the gelli plate, which I finally had to wash off. A huge waste of my acrylics, I did use sandwich paper squares paper, which are thinner than other paper. But I'm seeing some posts which used thicker paper, and it failed for them, too .
Awesome
Wow.
Gorgeous!!
BRAVO!!!
