Thank you for this, such good advice. When I was at uni, a visiting photo realism artist said if you can't draw you are not an artist, to which most of us said we may as well give up now! 😁 I find a blank page and pencil intimidating. That said I have recently discovered I love mark making. The scissors idea is definitely something I am going to try. Thanks, love your attitude, it has really helped me.

Fabulous video. I love mark making and non representational art. You have inspired me to make these simple stencils. i am a 76 year old artist and believe it or not i have a 4 year old student. Her mental development is higher than her hand/eye coordination so i have to adapt and structure the classes so she can manage various projects. I want to try using the gelli plate and a small brayer to she what she can handle. This could be very fun. I also introduce her to well known artists and give us something for inspiration. Your video has given me so great ideas. Thank you.

Thanks for the inspiration ... after years in traditional printmaking (art and commercial), I am blown away by the Gel Plate. When I first encountered craft videos using it, I didn't think much of it. It's nice to see someone working from an artistic point of view. 🙂 You've shown you can actually plan a piece of artwork rather than relying solely on happy accidents and at the same time be loose and spontaneous. The Coolors referral is just super!
