- Today I'm attempting to use a Gelli Arts ( @GelliArts ) plate to help me create a mixed media abstract landscape. It was a fun way to make the process more playful and exciting.
Have you tried this before? Would you like to try it? Let me know in the comments!

The paintings look nice. Thanks for sharing a new approach to painting abstracts. I am 80 years old and have not painted abstracts. Your paintings have given me a desire to give abstract painting a try.
Oh that’s so nice to hear - thank you! Yes, play around with your paints and give it a try sometime 🤗❤️
Love them Jackie (& lovely to see you use a gel plate which is one of my favorite art supplies :) Totally agree about the 'magic' that happens with seemingly invisible layers -- I've always loved Rothko's paintings (and knew in general about his painting methods) but I was utterly astounded when I finally saw one in person -- there are clearly layers and layers, evident but barely visible, and it's like looking into infinite space -- I haven't seen another painter do anything close.
Oooooh! I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a Rothko in person - I’ll seek one out next time I’m at the Art Institute! Thanks! ❤️❤️❤️
Jan 10th - So I did it tonight Jackie! And as requested here is my experience. Background: My commitment for January is a page a day in my 8x12 journal and limiting my time to approximately an hour (what with the corporate grind and all!) So I just decided to follow along as best I could with your approach mimicking colours where I didn't have the exact and allowing substitutions along the way. I am pleased with the results - far from perfect, yet I had fun creating and it was solid learning. Like you I actually did two pages. I would have been better served to use my 9 x 12 gelli plate but it was fun manipulating the 5 x7 all the same. So -- once again thanks for sharing this idea and I'm really happy that I have this experiment in my first journal of 2023. Be well!
Way to go!!! I commend you on prioritizing your art making/self care! For what it’s worth, I remember trying to switch mental modes coming home from my corporate job and trying to turn on my easy-breezy creative mindset - it was often a tough switch. All that to say, if you find it hard to transition to art right away, don’t give up! You may find it helpful to add a buffer like a snack, cup of tea, or some other little habit/ritual that will eventually signal to your brain that it’s time to create. Keep showing up! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼❤️❤️❤️
Loved it! Difficult to explain how much joy I get from watching you create. Definitely gonna pull out that 5x7 gelli plate and give this a try. As always appreciate you sharing your innovative approach!
Yes! Try it and let me know how it goes!! ❤️❤️❤️
My go to process is to create collage paper with the Gelli plate and make collages, but I have been wanting to start using the Gelli plate more in this painterly manner. Always inspiring, your process!
Try it sometime and see how it feels! ❤️❤️❤️
I will try to use my 3x5 plate as a stamp! Love the idea and the look of it!
Yay! Let me know how it goes! ❤️
Moltes gràcies desde Catalunya.😂❤
Thank you very much, Teresa! 😊❤️
The first three layers are like a warm up and get me primed for getting into that creative flow. I put all of my doubts and hesitation into those first layers so they can be absent in the following layers. Beautiful video, love your techniques ❤
Hi Katy - I love the image of putting all of your insecurities into the initial layers and then covering over them with the top layers! ❤️ Often I feel most confident in my beginning layers, because I feel the most freedom, I suppose (and also bc no one will ever see them unless I want them too 😆). I’m going to think of you next time I paint ❤️
What fun, thank you ❤
Wow - 4 minutes into this video & I'm already LOVING the prints. Very inspiring!
Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Love love love this, Jackie! I haven't used my gelli plate as a stamp yet, but I will give it a go now.
Yes, try it and let me know how it goes! ❤️
Great to see artists experimenting with new ideas I love mixed media art. The possibilities are endless. Great job❤
Thanks Mark! Endless possibilities, indeed! ❤️
Love them!
Thank you, Debra! ❤️❤️❤️
I love these!
Thank you, Rebecca! ❤️
These are exquisite and I love them.
Thank you, Veronica! ❤️
Love these!!
Thank you, Cindy! ❤️
Love it so much!
Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
So beautiful, thank you 😍
❤️❤️❤️
Just wandered over. I really like how you used your Gelli plate with the rubber bands. It made interesting shapes. I would try that. Thanks!
I love the rubberbands as a resist! So fun!
Thanks - it’s one of my favorites for sure! ☺️
Love this Jackie, would love to try it.
Thanks Isabelle! Go try it and let me know how it goes! ❤️❤️❤️
I love watching you!
Thanks so much, Charlotte! I’m so glad you’re watching ☺️
So inspiring!! Thank you for sharing ❤
You are so welcome - thanks for watching! ❤️
Lovely, lovely, lovely…and so inspiring. 😊
Thank you, Chris! ❤️❤️❤️
these are very nice!!!
Thank you, Diana!
Wow I loved this. And I'm going to have to try it. I always find it amazing that I often see suggestions in the side bar of things that have gone through my head. I've wondered what it would be like to use the gel plate to stamp on a painting with. And by that I mean a big painting. But perhaps I should have a go first in a journal or a small piece. Thanks for this video I loved it and the outcomes. And I've added you to my ever growing list of subscriptions.
Hi Lorraine! So glad to have you watching and that you’ve found value in my videos! ❤️❤️❤️
I love watching you art ❤
Thank you Becci - I'm so glad to have you watching!
Fascinating
Thank you, Lelija! ❤️
Love, love, love! This is why art is so much fun, the possibilities are endless, it’s like magic watching the paints play off of each other and somehow, many layers creates body and depth that our brains can understand! We don’t always understand but our subconscious does!😅 very inspiring video!💕🇨🇦
Thanks Cindy! ❤️❤️❤️
Love the rubber band idea.
Thanks! They make great marks ❤️
I love your work
Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love the final paintings especially the red/pink
Thank you! ❤️
Love the idea of using the plate as a stamp and can’t wait to experiment! Thank you!
Yes! Let me know how it goes! 🙌🏻
Excellent!
Thanks Lucia! I'm glad you liked it!
amazing page! thanks a lot for sharing!
Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
These are cool!
Thank you! ❤️
I like it very much🎨🥰
Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
I love this process, I learned so much, which I can put into my neo abstract figurative skecks
I’m so glad it was helpful for you! ❤️❤️❤️
These paintings are so lovely! Great idea using the small gelli plate. You’ve inspired me!
I'm so glad! ❤️❤️❤️
It’s always so good catching up with your videos Jackie and I love what you did here. I’ve used gelli plate collage papers but never used it directly, I love that textured depth it creates. Absolutely fab! Thank you 🙏🏼😍❤️
Thanks Jan - so glad you enjoyed it! ❤️
Jackie this was a great video. Love the pieces you created too wow!
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️
LOVE these !!! Thank you so much . Kind regards - Judi - Australia 🙃
You are so welcome ☺️ I’m so glad to have you watching, Judi! ❤️
So cool!!! I am your newest fan! I love abstract landscapes and as a prairie girl, our blue skies and vast open spaces are awe inspiring and perfect for abstract renderings. I too LOVE the Gelli plate and am always open to new ways to create with it.
Yay! Welcome, Shannon - so nice to have you watching! ❤️❤️❤️
These are just wonderful. You are very talented. Very much enjoyed watching you create these pieces.
Thank you, Linda! ❤️❤️❤️
I enjoy your videos so much, especially because you share your thought process. Understanding why you make the decisions you do actually helps me quite a lot. Thank you for the time and effort you clearly put into sharing your work with us!
That’s so nice to hear - thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
This is an interesting idea. Thinking of using it for a larger scale piece to vary the mark making. Thanks for sharing it.
❤️❤️❤️
I love gel printing but I have not tried your technique before; now I will! The pieces are beautiful!
Thank you so much! ❤️
Would love a beginner tutorial on abstract landscapes using the Gelli plate. Your art work is amazing and inspiring !
Great suggestion! Thanks so much! ❤️❤️❤️
Glad this video was still available. Learned much and liked your presentation.
❤️❤️❤️
Very interesting and fun stream. The idea of layers made in the fashion you did with the mark making tools was really inspiring. Thank you for sharing your creativity.
Glad you enjoyed it! ❤️❤️❤️
Nice creative lamdscape
Thank you! ❤️
Thanks for sharing - what an excellent idea using the gelli plate as a stamp! It has given me lots of new ideas for my own work. Also I notice you are using a colour shaper for some of the painting (in a couple of your other videos as well). I like that idea and plan to seek some out as well as for gluing.
I’m so glad you found it inspiring, Sharon - thank you for letting me know! ❤️❤️❤️
YOUR WORK IS THRILLING TO ME.
Thank you, Connie! ❤️❤️❤️
I'm watching this again because I like your abstract technique. It's a more satisfying result, rather than using lots of stencils and stamps. Thank you!
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it! ❤️❤️❤️
you are amazing
❤️❤️❤️
yumbo bumbo!
😂🥰❤️
It's hard to tell how long ago you posted this but I really enjoyed the Creating Abstract Landscapes Using a Gelli Plate. I don't have a small one so I have been doing the initial creation of the sky/land/water . Then I really didn't pursue much more by way of layering. It looked so fun and the end result was so much more interesting than what I had done. Layers =history=interest. New mantra. Thanks so much.
Thanks so much, Betsy! ❤️❤️❤️ a great mantra, indeed! ☺️
Great video with lots of good techniques, Jackie. I have used my gelli plate as a stamp for textural marks--but stuck to an acrylic base--on a large abstract painting. I like the way you used it and I will try it. Thank you!
Thank you! Let me know how you like it! ❤️
I got a gelli pad for Xmas. Your video was very helpful. ❤
I’m so glad! ❤️❤️❤️
Fabulous designs, I'm so insu. Thank you.
Inspired, it should say!
Thanks so much - so glad to have you watching! ☺️
Fabulous. So many interesting techniques and what a rich beautiful final product. I already had my gelli plate out so tried the rubber bands and was astonished at how well they worked. Not in the same league as yours but good enough for me to be happy :)
Wonderful! Have fun! ❤️❤️❤️
Wow... .I love watching your process, and the outcome was really lovely (other than the fact that CZcams shows your next videos right on top of the final product just as you are showing it!). I definitely want to try this!
❤️❤️❤️ Sorry about the end placement - ugh! 😆😂🤣
@@jackieschomburgart I know, eh? I'm guessing you don't have control over that... though I'm guessing if you leave them showing for a longer period of time, we will be able to see them at the beginning before the next video thumbnails show up!
I like these very much! I think I need to buy a small gelli plate, mine is 8x10. But that one seems very handy and useful 🙂❤️
I don’t often use my small one - that was part of my reason for trying this out 😆 I suppose you could just use part of your larger one but the small one is pretty fun 😉❤️
Hi, a friend told me to check out Gel painting, but he said to be careful. There is a lot of silly stuff out there when you search for Gel Painting. He was right. Your work is so much fun, creative and beautiful. And now I want to try!!!
Yes! Try it and let me know how it goes!! ❤️❤️❤️
I love these Jackie! I recently saw (Heartstone art?) fold her gel plate after she put the paint on it to create the horizon line. I love the experimentation with the gel plate!
❤️❤️❤️ What a great idea! I’ll take a look at her videos - thanks!
Love this ❤ tfs 👌💐🤎🦊🦊🤎
❤️❤️❤️
love those pieces and your kind of "painting- magic" 💜
Thanks so much, Sonja! ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Jackie,
I found you today on CZcams and I’m watching your videos.
I love what I see very much.
I have a question,
Are you painting on both sides of your sketch book? Most of the videos that I’ve watched you work on two pages together and the question is if you work on the other side of the page too.
Thank you for sharing your work and tips.
Sara 🙏
Hi Sara! Glad to have you here - thanks so much for watching! I usually skip a page so that each page that I work on has a plain back 🤗
@@jackieschomburgart thank you 🙏
Hi Jackie,
A following question 😊
What kind of sketchbook are you using? What kind of paper is it and also the blue towel paper that u use how is it called ? I want to order them from Amazon .
Thank you so much for the info
Sara 🙏
Really like the results. Thanks for sharing.
The frame that you used in the end, is that store bought or you made it?
Thank you, Fatma! The mat I used is from a store bought frame. Whenever glass breaks or something else happens, I always try to save the mat ☺️
Hello lovely. Loved the process. I noticed your view finder. I'm looking forward to getting something like that but not sure where. Did you buy it or did you make it?
Thanks! I am just using the mat board from a frame that I’m no longer using It’s either a cheap way to get one (since I already had the frame) or the most expensive way possible (previously purchasing the whole frame) 😂 You can buy mat board cut to various sizes at art supply and craft stores (Blick, Michael’s, etc). ❤️
@@jackieschomburgart Thank you. Such a great idea reusing the mat board frame. 👌💥💫🤩
So THAT'S what these little rubber bands are! My husband had found something on the street made of them and had just given it to me. I thought they would be great for mark making when painting but they are bent from being used. I wonder if I still have any bands from my kids braces....
Oh, I LOVE solving mysteries! 😂😂😂
@@jackieschomburgart Me too! LOLOL! I put them in some hot water and one flattened out. I am thinking they are worth the space they take up for a while! :D I'm wondering how thick the paint was that you put down on those bands? I know that makes a difference. ...and were they opaque?
I just use the regular amount of paint that I would use for any other pull. I typically use opaque paints with rubber bands, but I’ve also used transparent/semi-transparent paints ☺️
@@jackieschomburgart Good to know! It is often those things we automatically do that makes a difference! Play, in other words!
Yes, always play! ☺️
fun experiment. i like results. 😊 if i am allowed to ask, what do you use for top layer paper on wet pallet?
Hi Judith! I use kitchen parchment paper as my top layer. Works well for a day or two but I have to keep adding water on the bottom layers or it will dry out after that ❤️
thank you!!@@jackieschomburgart
This was such a treat to watch your intuitive, experimental style. Thank you for posting. YT algorithm put your video in my queue and now I’m a subscriber. Yay!
Yay! ❤️❤️❤️
Who makes the celadon green you use?
Blick makes one and Golden too :)
why did you use the white? i can't figure out what the white added to the pieces.
Without re-watching the video, I’m not sure 🤣 If it isn’t obvious why I did it, it might be a subtle change or not something you need to worry about 🤷♀️
Really good ideas but can I suggest you speed up the pace a little
Thanks for your input, Michelle ☺️
What is the medium you use to adhere the collage pieces please?
Hi Ginger. ! I use gloss medium as my glue ☺️
@@jackieschomburgart Thanks so much, loving watching all your amazing videos, I am full of inspiration.
❤️❤️❤️
@jackieschomburgart what brand of gloss medium? I just used Golden’s and it looks more clear than yours out of the bottle and it didn’t seem to stick super well and the paper wrinkled.
