    This was very exciting. I’ve been watching every video made by ‪@artwhisperer88‬
    He makes the most vibrant retro style prints on a very large scale. This is the tiny A5 version!!!
    I also used thick black markers, some etching and colour shapers.
    I hope you enjoy.

      Hi Samahra, you have a beautiful name. Yes, he is fantastic, I think he’s the reason I try lots of different things on the gel plate.
      When I first discovered him, I’d only seen pretty or grungy stencil work on the gel plate. He is a true artist.
      And thank you too for your lovely comment ❤️❤️❤️

      Hi Chris, I do think the Scottish accent has given my channel an unfair advantage 😂. Before I started the TH-cam I thought no one outside Scotland would understand me, it’s been confidence boosting to know people can understand…and actually like it.

      I think the art whisperer really brought the gel plate into more of a fine art. Prior to him I’d only really seen nice stencil patterns (which is great too). But it’s amazing to experiment with as it’s so versatile.

    ArtWhisperer88 is soooo amazing! I aspire to make very big prints but my hands are too shaky and and I'm too nervous that I'll mess up. However! I think an 8"X 10" Gelli print would be doable. You're my NEW inspiration!

      This is so lovely!! You’re inspiring too, that you have shaky hands but make art anyway. I think your hands would bring an element to the gelli print that would be unique and abstract. Don’t fear messing up. The next day all the paint will be extremely dry and you’ll get another great print on top of it.
      Id love to make big prints too. Maybe 1 day we’ll do it…

    I loved your print and how you showed us your creative process. Thank you!
    I noticed you trying to get rid of the overpaint along the edge of your print.I found a stainless steel straight edge for painting a straight line at the local big box hardware store. It was very reasonably priced. .These tools can be anywhere from 12 to 36 inches and are called some of the following names: a paint edge or edger tool, a trim guard, a paint trim guide or guard. I got mine because I needed to paint 20 equal length parallel lines on a display window. I think you will find it very handy.

    • @quirkyqueens
      @quirkyqueens  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hi Fred, thank you so much!!! I have raided the tool box and moved the unused paint guard to my art desk. I really really struggle with straight lines, using masking tape generally, which is a bit rubbish. I can use this a lot, even in abstract paintings to apply in small areas.
      20 equal length lines sounds extremely difficult, I’m terrible at replicating even once!!

    Sorry if these are stupid questions but I'm a beginner. Do you let each layer of paint completely dry before brayering and lifting?
    And you you please explain the term "registration plate"?

    • @quirkyqueens
      @quirkyqueens  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi Christine. Yes I do. The paint will lose its shine as it dries. The time can vary depending on your paper, paint, number of layers, temperature and more.
      I find it is a trial and error approach at the beginning until you get to know your paints and papers.
      I first started with book pages (not glossy…like a modern fiction paperback) and a few paint colours with stencils.
      Just go wild, don’t be afraid of messing up (sometimes that makes very good shapes for collage paper).
      A registration plate is used to layer your paper exactly on the gelli plate. This may be because you want a nice border around your print, or because you are printing more than 1 layer on the same piece of paper.
      I will make a video within the week on what I feel is important for beginners.
      The main thing is have fun, go wild and keep pushing to discover more.
      The art whisperer 88 has excellent information on registration plates, although there are many different ways to make one.
      I hope this helps.
      Enjoy!!!!!!!!
      Also, never a stupid question, it’s the only way we progress!!! 🤓🥳🥰

    • @quirkyqueens
      @quirkyqueens  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hi Jane, I’m over the moon you like it. The gel plate is very versatile…and addictive!! I make my stencils from a range of items. Glossy book pages, plastic stationary folders, acetate, Mylar.
      Mylar stencils last the longest, but can be a bit harder to cut. I tend to use this for simple shapes (I got ten 12x12” sheets of Mylar on Amazon for approx £10). Acetate is flimsier but easier to cut with a craft knife (I got ten 12x12” sheets for £2 in the range).
      You can also cut these with scissors, just craft knife good for more intricate stencils.
      I also tend to keep stencil shapes quite basic as I can overlap them etc on the gel plate. This helps create more intricate shapes.
      I hope this helps Jane.

    Great video. I’m just getting into gel plate printing.
    I’m just not understanding why someone would do this on a gel plate rather than just painting it right onto paper.
    You get the same result in the end.

    • @quirkyqueens
      @quirkyqueens  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi Matt, I like variety in abstract art but also repetition. So (my thoughts) paint on the gel plate will behave differently than on paper. For example, a black line on paper will have subtle differences to that on the gel plate.
      You also work in reverse so your thinking is different.
      It’s also much easier to correct a mistake or change your mind with the gel plate.
      Also subtracting paint already applied can be done in different ways.
      I just think the gel plate gives more possibilities. There is also a flatness to the final pull from the gel plate…and flaws that you’re more likely to clean up in a painting on paper.
      I also like the process.
      I could go on all day, I just find I’m much more experimental with the gel plate.
      I hope this ramble makes some sense 😂

      Hi Nasim, you could try plexiglass from a cheap picture frame. Silicon mat you use in cooking. Freezer paper, disposable paint pallets.
      Research Monoprinting as gel plate is just one type of surface used in Monoprinting.
      The gel plate is easier to use and gives sharper images but I do think these other surfaces are very good too. The silicon mat is quite trendy at the moment on IG reels.
