“I don’t let the cost of the material determine the quality of the art” well said.
The Gees Bend artists, in the traditional manner, made quilts out of bits of fabric at hand, for example, from worn out pieces of clothing. As you mentioned regarding choosing paint, they did not choose or buy expensive fabric, but very practically used what they had at hand. (Reuse at its best!)
They were very creative with how they used their materials. Admirable, I think.
Thanks so much!
Every video is so exciting, unexpected and interesting.
Gee’s Bend quilts have always been a great source of inspiration for me - thank you for sharing your tribute to their work. I am learning so much from your videos, and from Kate Word, who is a big fan girl of yours as well!
thanks so much Helen!
one of my favorites..the indigo and turquoise print. fantastic!!!
Thanks so much!
Easy peasy lemon squeezy.......love the workshop..... inspiring... thanks...S
I try to guess what color you'll use next. I am often- well usually - wrong. I often think "Oh, no! What is he thinking!" But then the result will be so uniquely beautiful. That's why you are the artist and I'm here sitting on my tush watching you. 🤣
❤️🙏
Great! I also love the Gees Bend creativity.. Quilts made from their authentic hearts. Love all your prints here, esp the one with the veil of iridescent white. Thank you ❤
I love the quilts of Gee's Bend. A quilt in a display at a recent show of quilts at the American Folk Art museum was remarkably Mark Rothko-like. Or Mark Rothko was inspired by faded Amish quilts.
I saw an exhibit of Gee’s Bend quilts maybe 20 years ago. These are definitely inspirational art pieces, and they’ll also keep your toes warm in cold weather. Your interpretation is muy sabroso.
Thanks so much!
Just wonderful!
Many thanks!
Murphy’s Oil Soap mixed with water makes a very good way to clean the plate. I also use bowl of the stuff to clean brayers. The Murphy’s has some oil in it, so using it to clean off plate adds a little bit of oil to the surface.
I love all 3 pieces
Thank you for sharing your creative journey!!! Your art is amazing!
I'm a recent subscriber and thank you for the instruction you offer. I've done collage for years and find gel printing is helping with loosening up my work with collage. Already I feel I've had some successes with this new medium.
Glad it was helpful!
I really like this batch. Recently discovered your channel. Thank you for sharing your process. I'm learning a lot. I just ordered a gel plate. Going to start on a small scale but know I will want to try a large one soon.
Beautiful and such an interesting piece!
🙏💖
AT 16:40 you remind the viewer who queried your choice of 'student' grade - reminds me of the words 'price is what you pay, value (i.e. utility), is what you get!' I fear many don't seem to live in the light of your wisdom and those from someone just cited! I am enjoying this session of your artistry and creativity - crafting together with and via your chosen materials. Love it!
Thanks so much!
This was so fine said. I think so too.
Your second print with the red flame on top is spectacular! The new paper is working well with texturing. Keep up the great work
Thanks so much!
Love your videos- I’ve just started using a gel plate. I am a watercolor artist but wanted to try. I am struggling with colors- but watching this helps.
Yes I can understand jumping from one medium to another can be intimidating, but it can be fun as well.
Outstanding work, since I discovered your channel I can’t stop watching your videos. I’m an engineer I have nothing to do with art but admiring it, and your pieces with their vivid colors stunned me every time you make a new piece. I love all of them, Keep up the good work wish you the best
Thanks so much! I really a firm believer that art unites people from all backgrounds and walks of life. Thanks for watching!
I love how you approach your work. Relaxed and working so cleanly.your colour choices are spot on.thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much!
Love your process ❤
Well done!
Thanks as always Dale!
Wonderful, thank you for sharing!
Loved tge result. Must try something similar soon. Thank you
I love your work. Thank you
thanks so much Judi!
Very inspiring! 😊 Love Gee's Bend works and your response is top notch. Thank you
Love them all. I wonder if the treatment of your plate with the baby oil might have contributed to the oil resist quality
That's the effect of the Mars black Blickcrylic mixing with the raw sienna through a brayer. They both contain a lot of extenders which create that effect.
💖💖💖💖Beatiful paintings !!!💖💖💖💖
Thank you so much 😀
C'est super beau, j'aime beaucoup.
Merci beaucoup!
Can you reveal your recipe for your soap spray for cleaning the plate? I usually use packing tape to remove paint from my plate. Also, I love your videos and am now addicted. I will be promoting you to my thousands of newsletter subscribers next week and also blogging about you. I'm a New Yorker (now living in Denver) and a fiber artist so loved your inspiration for this video. Thanks for being such an inspiration to us all and sharing your creative process.
Wow, a fellow New Yorker! You know that saying you can take the girl out of the city, but you can't take the city out of the girl! Thanks so much for watching and sharing with your friends. There's no specific recipe for the soapy water spray, I just fill the spray bottle 3/4 full, then add the dish liquid, about 3 to 4 tablespoons, shake and you're all set. I recommend oiling the plate frequently with baby oil to condition it. It won't tear the paper as much if you do that.
@@artwhisperer88 Thank you!
I love these quilts, and your tribute, as well!
I really like the effect of the white veil. Sorry to hear about your camera.
Toujours très intéressé par vos travaux. Merci pour ces partages de qualité. Une question : les pochoirs sont réalisés en quelle matière ? J'ai essayé avec du papier, mais celui-ci colle au rouleau lorsque j'étale la peinture... Merci pour vos informations.
les pochoirs sont fabriqués à partir de séparateurs de dossiers en plastique czcams.com/video/0aaotVtxlR0/video.html
@@artwhisperer88J'avais pensé à ça aussi, mais sans faire de test. Un grand merci pour votre réponse et pour le lien !
How long are you leaving the wc paper on for? I have a lot of cold pressed, switched to hot press with my art a long time ago. I buy it by the roll.
I do 5 to 7 minutes tops. You will need to do tests because everyone's situation is different.
Silly question time - are your guides set up so the piece has a slightly deeper white margin at the bottom than the top?
I do that on purpose to accommodate the title, edition number ( in this case 1/1) and my signature. Traditionally in printmaking it is signed in pencil. Don't ask me why but that's how it's done.
I do it too but couldn’t tell from your set up.
@@CathSheard btw I sign when the piece is sold. I've had requests from buyers who prefer a landscape orientation to the usual portrait mode. Since the piece is abstract it works either way.
what weight paper are you using to cut the shapes. Is it copy paper or card stock?
the elongated shapes are card stock, oval shapes are thin plastic dividers
