Thank you for sharing, I'm inspired by your creativity and experimental techniques. I just wish I'd had you as a resource before I retired from teaching art more than 15 years ago! Still, now I have the time to do my own work and continue with lifelong learning.

Hi Mark! Just wanted to tell you that watching your videos and implementing some of your techniques has truly elevated my work. You inspire innovative thinking and bold experimentation but not at the expense of having fun. What I appreciate most is your humility and generosity. You are a master of this medium. May God bless and keep you.

I think the same here ! Love your channel and particularly the pieces of art you made out in this one. Soooooo beautiful! I just bought my first gel plate and hope my painting experience will help when I experiment. Thanks a lot for sharing all your fantastic discoveries 🙏

Great imagination and trying different ways to use our supplies.. I like it!❣️

Wow -- I always a lesson -- always a great tip when I watch you! TY for another great vid!

Yeah - Yeates makes again!!! Always looking so forward to any videos from you! Thanks for taking the time to share!

Inspiring demo. I love botanicals on the gel plate but this is a way to take them to another level. Thanks!

I love that your experimentation knows no bounds. So inspiring 👍🏼👍🏼

That is really gorgeous and I really hope this is the perfect transfer technique for a portrait I’m hoping to do …wish me luck. You have a lot of wonderful work and ideas!

Hope it goes well! Thanks for the comment

Cannot tell you how timely this video is! Breaking the job up for starters, and then the usefulness of a smaller roller. I have just doubled up my 8x10 and plan to go to A2 as soon as I have got the hang of A3, and where to put everything when working big! I had been balking at the idea of trying to work with several larger bits of paper all at the same time, and so this video was like a gift! I will never own one of those huge plates but I think I can get ingenious given time… Love your subject matter and the simplicity with which you approached it, and that reminded me, I must try to grow some, I love it, and I must give the oil pastel resist another try. Your prints look great, the larger one especially, I hope you will be posting more… Thanks.

You have got me to buy a gelli plate as you create art. I have a massive collection of photographs I've taken over many years and was wondering what I could do with them that's different and here we are. I cant wait to turn them into art instead of stills! Thanks for the videos, they have inspired me. Mike

Such a beautiful piece, gives a new prospective to still life drawings!! Thanks so much for the use of the gel plate in a magnificient artsy way!! Do in Paris🗼✨️👋

Thank you i was fascinated by all the steps in your process. Love how you interpreted the honesty it is a magical looking plant and you captured it uniquely. I’m a florist so I really enjoyed the subject💕

So pleased I’ve found your channel. First I’ve found where you are producing actual stand alone art rather than just effects that might be useful in collage, and using such a good range of transfer techniques and mediums. So helpful, learning so much!

If you've ever peeled open one of those seed pods, the inside is like mother of pearl. Bit of random info lol The sugar paper transfer line is like charcoal. It's very expressive. Thanks for another interesting video 👍

Mister Mark, that was incredible to watch you work! I may be SERIOUSLY Jealous of that plant from your garden which was the inspiration for this work. Loved how that construction paper texture came out, too!

Fabulous as always! Growing up in the States we called it “money plant”. So if you’re ever doing more of these, it might be rather cheeky to use the financial reports section of the papers? Just a thought! Thanks for sharing your incredible talent with the world. ❤️

Hi Alison, so pleased to hear this. So many people feel they can't draw. I reckon continuous line in pen is a daily exercise that, if you persevere with, you'll definitely see improvement and learn to feel your way around contours and form : ) keep truckin'

Something I've found doing similar types of transfer is that using a coloured oil pastel or pen or chalk means your transfer sheet often comes out as interesting as the transfer. Red works brilliantly if you're using black ink, but other combinations work great too.
