You inspire me. At the old age of 49 I received my Bachelors. Since I finished I became stagnant and unmotivated in my art work, then I found you. Now, at 50, you have inspired me and ignited a small flame that has been dormant for quite some time, and I thank you. I now own a small gelli plate and I look forward to experimenting. You are my Mentor, even though we have never met and live in different countries (I am in New Zealand). Thank you so much for being your unapologetic self. Thank you for inspiring me. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you ..... 😊❤ ..... 🎉🎊 🎂 🎊🎉

Thanks so much Caroline! I never thought I would be able to say to a 50 year old "you're just a baby!" I had my doubts starting a You Tube at age 67, thinking the worst that could happen is folks falling asleep to my videos! That's not such a bad thing either. And now I have surpassed the 8000 subscriber mark. I'm so happy and still in shock, and thanks to viewers like you this is all possible. God bless and best of luck with your art projects!

The fear of making mistakes is paralyzing. I like the idea of doing warm-up exercises. You are inspirational. Thank you.

“The hits just keep coming!” How appropriate a situation for your birthday. Your generosity is having an impact on thousands. Thank you, kind friend. 🥇🎂

Just divine, this is!❤

Many happy returns of the day! That last ghost print is cool. The layer of paint was thin enough on the right to pull all of those lovely colors, and the thick red layer on the left has your scribble detail. I like it.

Warmest wishes for your birthday. .... .a big fan!

I find your work just breath taking! I especially like the red one. I was curious are you aloud to use acrylic ink on the plate?

I loved this video. Have you considered using a clear acrylic medium when you have a beautiful grunge gel plate to put only the grunge on an existing piece? I love your methods.

Thank you for sharing your techniques and creative processes. Would you please tell what size gelli plate you are using? I would also like to know the size and type of paper you use to pull your prints. The imagery always come out so perfect. The prints I make do not always come out so precise and it becomes frustrating. I am left wondering what could I be doing wrong that causes this happen. You are an inspiration and I'm glad to have found your channel. Thank you again for sharing your creativity with the world. I definitely appreciate you taking the time to do so. 🥰

Don't worry about being "precise" what's more important is to have a good command of your materials and know how to navigate when faced with problems. That only comes with much practice.

Hi Kathy. I have successfully used matte medium by Golden. I don't use it too often because it is $$$$! Thanks for watching!

Great stuff Fulton..very relaxing to watch you ! Some workmen just spilled black paint on my grass today ! it's water based black wood stain ...do you think the grass will be ok ? Looks like an art project at the minute with black blotches on the very green freshly mown lawn !!! Shocking ! i'm worried that the paints shouldn't be wased down the drain ...Is it ok to wash acrylic paint down the drain ?

@artwhisperer88

acrylic is way safer than oil based anytime. If the grass doesn't grow back have you considered planting wildflower beds instead? It's better for the bees and other pollinators.

Is it just me, but I can barely pick up the paint on the first pull with my gelli plate even after giving It the oil massage technique that you generously shared. Forget about any ghost prints! Is your studio humid or something? I can't seem to get good prints using the same brands you use and different sorts of paper. What am I be doing wrong? Help!

either your paints are too thick or your work area is too dry. You will need to experiment with different mixes of paint and some water to make a successful transfer. Here in New York we have an old saying How to get to Carnegie Hall? PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!
