Wow! Your use of the gel plate is far beyond what I've seen others do with. Thanks for sharing your techniques and the media you use in such detail.
I agree! You have such cool art designs. I think you and I like some of the same music groups, too. Rock on, my man. I have been very ill since about November of 2023 and haven't been able to buy a Gelli plate like I've wanted to. I'm hoping that I'll have enough money in March or April... since I can't walk on my own without falling, I just need to sit at my drafting table and create art!
Generous of you to make detailed videos of your process with gel plate - expanding the creative possibilities of mono printing and mixed media. Thank you.
You have DEFINITELY got gel plate skills!! WOW! Your videos are a joy to watch and full of educational tools. Thank you SO much!
Absolutely love how you work with the bones of composition,texture,line etc.while demonstrating so many techniques! Priceless classes. Thank you so much! 👍👊
Ps- I have used quality stick glue for over 7 yrs and can testify it works fine👍
You are such an example of true creativity. I have watched you from before you ‘discovered’ the gel plate and your mind and hands haven’t stopped..AWESOME!
Using actual objects as the foundation for a Gel print is BRILLIANT! As always, I loved all the techniques presented in this video. Amazing how you are so inventive with everything you do. All good wishes.
So glad you posted this mark,I check CZcams everyday to see if you’ve put something on,made my day!!Love your techniques and simplistic tutorial.I agree there is just something special about everyday objects and the way we can dress things up with pens ,paints ,collage etc…So inspirational Mark,Thankyou for sharing…can’t wait to see what you have in store for us next!!👌🏻
I enjoy your enthusiasm for your work and for good material to work with. Beautiful pieces, thanks Mark!
I was so very happy to see this video today. I've missed your uploads. I find myself so inspired after watching them.
Pleased they inspire you to get making : )
The ways you have me in awe and fascinated with the gel plate is magnificent, brilliant and inspirational. Thank you so much.
You have really changed the way I think about my he plate printing. I don’t have to fill up the whole plate every time if I just want a stripe or a circle, I can do that and not have to worry about the rest of the piece until I’m ready to tackle it.
👍👍
Subscribed long ago, wasn't seeing ANY of your videos in my feed or via notifications... hmm... told today I needed to click on bell icon and choose All. So if you haven't done that yet, do it now! His vids are the BEST!
Lovely message, thank you for support and helping spread the channel 😀❤️
Wow! Brilliant artwork and brilliant tutorial. Really inspired me to develop my gel printing with mixed media, both of which I've loved seperately but youve shown us how to combine them. Thanks so much for sharing ❤
Delighted it was useful to you 😀
I wish I’d found your channel sooner! I’m new to mixed media and I’ve learned so much. Thank you!
You’re here now! Plenty to look back over from the last couple of years! Hope you enjoy 😀
This is so beautiful and inspiring 😮 big wow and thank you! ❤
Loving all these layers and layers of texture! Really beautiful piece of art.
Thank you for sharing all your techniques and ideas. Using water to separate the paint is a great idea, love the peeled paint effect!
So nice yo see a new video from you, Mark! As usual, it is a very inspiring project!
What I love about your approach to art is how effectively you push your tools to produce unique effects in the finished piece.
Thanks for another great video! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Waiting for this next installment has been excruciating! However, this will now be the single starter video I recommend to people I think would be interested in the fine art and design possibilities of the gel plate. There's so much out there on the usual gel printmaking techniques, but this is the single most compact source of ideas about mixed media gel printing that I've ever seen. (If there were a post-secondary degree in watching CZcams videos on gel printing and mixed media, I'd be just about ready to graduate, at this point.) Only part-way through, I recommended it to a former college printmaking instructor, who is introducing units on gel printing for use by design students. This would be perfect! Hopefully, it also gains you more subscribers.
I do have a gentle but firm disagreement with you about glue sticks: I've ordered a number of your works, at this point, and by the time they cross the pond, there are repeatedly places in the collage elements that have begun to lift. This is definitely true of those shipped rolled. I believe it's also true of at least one of the items shipped flat. Also, when I've used glue sticks in mixed-media work where I later had to paint over them--especially if the paint was at all diluted, but also with simply liquid acrylic medium or clear gesso--I've had problems with the glue stick releasing, dissolving or suspending in the paint, and creating in a sticky mess.
That said, the three things I most... uh, /four/ things... The ___ things I most liked in this video are:
The pop-art brush stroke: I'd never thought about the way diluted paint would work for simple broad brush strokes. Brilliant!
Probably the number one favorite thing: I'd never thought about the unique possibilities the actual flexibility of the gel plate offers for initially taking the physical impression of a dimensional object. Triple Brilliant!
Related to the above, I'm struck by the effectiveness of metal indication in the prints of the ferrule areas of your brushes. From what I can tell from the video, the stains or paint on the metal making up the ferrules create the texture that reads (to me, at least) as metallic shadows, reflections, and highlights.
I love the way you use collage--something applied /atop/ your substrate--to create a background which then optically recedes and pushes your drawn objects forward, apparently above the surface of the collage. Technically masterful, and definitely useful and memorable for future projects.
I was amazed (at about 5:38) at the way the Sally Hirst technique apparently broke up the paint /except/ on the transfer image areas. Is that really what happened, or did it just look that way on camera? If the transfer had been a different color than the broken layer, for instance, would it be showing through spots on the lettering?
At 16:18, you scalpel an orange circle off the handle of your palette knife. What is that circle? Is it the print of the end of a paint tube? It looks like great collage material, and I'd like to make a number of them. Especially since they have the circular form in common, but appear to be individual and irregular.
Finally (I think), the first print, which you refer to as possibly "overcooked," strikes me as basically two separate prints. (Yes, I've said this before, about the pop-art print with the aluminum can on the collaged background.) But in this case, the yellow stroke is a part of both competing images, it seems to me. I think the issue for me is the isolation of the stylistically different, beautiful drawing-plus-collage elements from the equally compelling, dramatic black print of the decorating brush. The isolation is emphasized by the strong, unique, and attention-grabbing yellow and black vertical elements, which serve to divide the two parts of the image. I think the work would be stronger if you had overlapped the yellow and black painted elements with one or both of the other sections, and/or had echoed something from one of the outer two image areas on the other side.
So love all your work! Thank you for being so generous with your ideas and techniques, you inspire so many of us 🙏
Oh Wow! I love Gel printmaking but you just blew my mind! Thank you for sharing. Im going to do this soon!

This is just brilliant, Mark! I've followed since you first started playing around with the gel plate, and it's amazing to see how your work has progressed and the wonderful way you combine techniques. Every time I watch one of your videos, I feel like pulling out my gel plate! Thanks for the inspiration and the tutorials.
This is one of the best gel plates videos I’ve come across! Soo mant golden nuggets in here, and I leaened so much! Thank you for the inspiration!! ❤️👏

Wonderful thank you for sharing all of your ideas and techniques.
I have a gel plate. Virtually unused but I have watched dozens of artists. Your techniques are next level to anything I have seen. You are amazing. I wish I could take a class from you!
Thanks Mark - another great video. You really inspire and motivate me to get into my artwork
Mesmerising to watch. Great tips and ideas here 👏
Hey mister yates... I love your ideas. You show me that it have no bordes to use the plate... sometimes I stuck and your videos give me a little push in the right direction. I use this plate technic only 2 month and I love to work with it. Thanks a lot for sharing your ideas.
So cool…my head is swimming…thank you..have fun
Your tips are amazing, I used some children's jeans pocket,and blue paint,then die cut a pocket,and looks so realistic, I really need to start playing more with my plate because you have shown there's so much u can do with it 😊
Wow! I always wondered what gel medium was used for ….. I gonna go buy some tomorrow 👍🏼
...inspiration overload, you make it look so easy, but it ain't! - great helpful vids, thank you 🙂
Absolutely amazing! Beautiful!
Thank you! ❤ Your sharing of knowledge is much appreciated!
Marvelous to see a new video, I love water dispersal as well !!
This is fantastic - I'm certainly going to have to try using Gel Plates. Never tried them before.
Hi Mr Yeates! I love following along your videos in my free time and they always remind me of our art lessons back in year 11! - dash :)
I'm envious that you got to have art lessons from him!
@@chalmer31 he’s truly on the best teachers i’ve had! glad he has an account to share his skills with everyone else now :)
Really Really love your channel ! I've learned so many neat tricks from you ! Thank you so much !
Always impressive and inspiring.
Brilliant techniques, and finished works 👍💯🇦🇺🦘
If you can seal the artwork at the end with SpectraFix or Minwax Polycrylic Crystal Clear Topcoat, then you can use the glue stick. I have heard that Elmer's Glue has only a lifespan of 5 years.
Have to say your work really does inspire me. Have just gotten a lazor printer to get into gel printing in a bigger way and this vid has given me the kick I've needed to get the printer set up to go. Love your work ❤
Love this!
Love this video. So many possibilities to go in so many different directions. Can't wait to try some of your ideas.
It’s perfect! I love it so much! Thank you!
I love your work and I always learn something!
You are such an amazing artist! Greetings from Germany and thank you for sharing
