Yes, please do an eventual follow up video on how these plates perform after they're no longer new. eg, How do they hold up? Does their grippy tackiness change? Do they clean well? etc. Many thanks!
Can you tell us more about that clear varnish that you used mid-process on the large charcoal transfer? Brand? Impact on successive layers? Advice on using it? Thx!
@@jazzbea6243 I think the 16x20 plate is worth it as I also bought one of these before I had a freebie and it was about 25% cheaper than Gelli arts one to buy
@@chrishayman1747 hmm I’ve noticed a few posts in gel plate groups say the same about beading, my plates worked straight away without any issues so I’m not sure if they have changed anything in how they make the plates. People are saying to wash the plates with soap and that they seem to take longer to break in than the other brands do maybe try that and do a few more pulls. If the problem persists maybe email Gelelf and report your issues.
It’s called mixed media artist board which can be bought here in the uk from a company called Seawhites not sure if you would be able to get it if you are located outside the UK thought. It’s basically a board a few millimetres thick which is double bonded either side with 200gsm cartridge paper.
I didn’t buy any of the Gelelf stuff they sent it all to me direct so I could review it. If it’s not on the Temu site currently maybe they haven’t listed it yet, I’m not sure. Sorry I can’t be of more help.
thats ok! i was just curious! love your videos im watching alot of them right now! i really enjoy your art and i wish to geli print soon. im still learning on how the process works!@@gelwithmark
@@therealtiki thanks. Yes there are lots of different techniques to try and learn. My advice it to just jump in and experiment. If you have any questions just send them my way and I’ll try and answer them as best as I can.
They are okay. Except if you buy them from Temu the packaging is poor and fold the bigger plates which makes them unusable. No bubble wrap just shoved in a bag folded in half.
I also bought the 16x20 plate from Temu before getting my free haul, which was folded but I had no problems, just unpacked it and left if flat for an hour and it was good to go. I do know that they are in the process of updating their packaging so maybe they will address these issues.

Will do 👍🏻
Thanks. Just the right pace to maintain interest without causing confusion.
Your style suits the sometimes confronting imagery.

It’s a brand called “kobra” has no impact on successive layers. Just use it as you would a sprayer paint fine, every coat really.
Do you oil these plates?
Love your work. I'm happy they sent you the plates for free. They are more expensive than Gelli Plate. Do you think they are worth the extra $$$$$

I’ve just bought a 16x20 Gelelf from Temu. It came packed flat which is good. My trouble is that the paint is beading very badly. Any suggestions???

Maybe wet it, then dry, before working?
Very informative video and great artwork! Your style is unique, and your process is fascinating. Thank you for sharing this!
Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the excellent product review and commentary. Your artwork is amazing!
Thank you. Glad you found it useful.
Can you tell me the type of pastel? Oil?
@@verlaecktclark soft pastels.
Can you please tell me what you printed that last artwork on? It looks like some kind of white plate?

@@gelwithmark thank you 🙌
Your work is wonderful. CAN you tell me How you contact gelelf ? I want to contact them too, please. I ‘m French.
Thank you for the comment. I contacted them via email - gelelfofficial@gmail.com

@@CarolineBicheArt no problem.
You're fantastic ❤
Thanks, appreciate the flattery.
Very Very cool!
Thanks
Thank you for great content. Any chance you could increase the volume?
Sorry I can’t. I thought that it was loud enough to be honest. I’ll take note for my next video.
im trying to look on the temu site, did you buy all the tools separate from the elf plates?

Ahhh, no such luck with my plate. ❤

How much is it
Great prints, do you happen to have a contact number or email for this gel company, because i wrote them on temu and never got a response. Thank you!
