This Accidental Gel Plate Discovery Works Better Than Expected Susan Clifton 2026-09-19 | This Accidental Gel Plate Discovery Works Better Than Expected
Collage Process: Making Papers, Patchwork Prints & Easy Transfers Susan Clifton 2025-09-21 | In this video, I start by creating a variety of papers for a small 8x8 inch collage. I make both neutral and colorful prints so I’ll have a strong selection to work with, even though I won’t end up using them all. The paper I’m using is medical exam paper—very thin and 15 inches wide—which naturally lends itself to patchwork printing. I didn’t plan to do patchwork at first, but that’s exactly what happened, I like how the paint is edge to edge!For the focal point, I used a design I created in Procreate and printed it on Avery label backing paper (the sheet left behind after the labels are removed). It’s an easy way to create a unique transfer that adds depth and interest to your collage. Stay tuned until the end of the video to see this simple but powerful transfer technique in action.These affiliate links can help support this channel at no extra cost to you:❤️ Princeton Catalyst Wedgeamzn.to/43su5Ni❤️ Liquitex Professional Gloss Gel Medium, 237ml (8-oz)amzn.to/3Q042aK❤️ Exam Table Paper - 14''x225’amzn.to/4euwegh❤️ 120 Sheets Deli Paper Sheets Transparent Paper Translucent Clear Paper Tracing Paper for Drawing, White (9 x 13 Inch)amzn.to/498i17bGel Printing with Rubber Bands is a surprisingly fun and easy way to create amazing papers for your collage, mixed media, or journaling projects.

I Tried a Giant Gelli Plate and WOW! Susan Clifton 2025-08-31 | #posterplate #GiantGelliPlate #LargeGelliPlateThank you to Gelli Arts for this wonderful gift of creativity. Making your first print on a Poster Size Gelli Plate is both exciting and intimidating. In this video, I share my personal experience of working with a large plate for the very first time and creating my first print. The Poster Size Gelli Plate allows you to experiment on a bigger scale, giving you more space to layer paint, textures, stencils, and masks. When I started my first print, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the process turned into a fun and creative adventure that every artist should try at least once. The Poster Size Gelli Plate really opens up new creative opportunities compared to smaller plates, because you can explore larger compositions and bolder marks that fill the page in ways you simply can’t achieve on smaller formats.During my first print, I explored how paint behaves across a wide surface and how stencils and masks interact with such a large area. I noticed that the Poster Size Gelli Plate requires more attention to detail in brayering. The textures and layering possibilities are endless, and even mistakes can turn into beautiful surprises. That’s one of the most rewarding aspects of using the Poster Size Gelli Plate—or any size for that matter.If you’ve been curious about upgrading to a larger format, this is the perfect video to inspire you. My first print shows that anyone can dive in, even without a lot of experience. The Poster Size Gelli Plate is versatile and works beautifully with different kinds of paper, acrylic paints, and household textures. By the end of the video, you’ll see how my first print on the Poster Size Gelli Plate turned out, and hopefully, you’ll be motivated to try your own. The magic of gel printing is that every pull is unique, and the larger the plate, the more space for creativity.If you enjoy this video, I invite you to explore other videos on my channel where I share gel printing techniques, collage ideas, stencil making, and more.

What Happens When Your Studio Gets Too Hot or Cold? Susan Clifton 2025-08-17 | When it comes to creating beautiful, consistent gel prints, understanding how temperature plays a role is essential. In this video, we explore the question: how does temperature affect your gel prints? Whether you are working in a hot summer studio or a chilly winter workspace, temperature can dramatically change the way your paint behaves on the gel plate. High temperatures can cause paint to dry too quickly, making it harder to pull clean prints, while cooler temperatures may slow drying time, allowing for more intricate layers and textures. By knowing how temperature affects your gel prints, you can adjust your techniques to get the results you want every time.We’ll also discuss the importance of humidity, because while temperature is a key factor, moisture in the air can enhance or hinder your results. By the end of this video, you’ll have a clear strategy for adjusting your process based on the weather or the season. You’ll understand not only how does temperature affect your gel prints, but also how to turn those changes into creative opportunities.If you’ve ever been frustrated by inconsistent prints, paint that dries too fast, or textures that don’t turn out the way you imagined, this guide will help you troubleshoot and take control of your gel printing process. No more wasted paint or disappointing pulls—just vibrant, well-formed prints that reflect your creative vision.Watch the entire video for step-by-step demonstrations, and don’t forget to check out my other gel printing tutorials where I share more tips, techniques, and inspiration for mixed media artists.

Switching It Up with a Little Something Different – Painting in My Journal Susan Clifton 2025-06-15 | #ArtJournal #PaintingInMyJournal #MixedMediaArt #CreativeJournalingWatch Me Try A Little Something Different — ****Painting in My Journal — In this video I go outside my comfort zone and “paint” in my journal. I have done this before but not usually on video. While I’m in this evolution stage of my artwork I’m experimenting, a lot. I decided to start doing more painting in my journal. It’s ok for me to add some collage, finishing touches, you might say. But the main focus is abstract painting. In the journal it’s less intimidating and experimenting can be bolder than if it’s on a canvas. Less precious so it’s ok if it doesn’t turn out great. You can learn a lot about the tools, paints and yourself in the process.👉 My Stencil Course Just launched.

How to store your gel plates and have ready-to-use paper storage as well Susan Clifton 2025-01-23 | When setting up my study to frequent gel printing I wanted to have my gel plates at an arms reach and ready-to-papers as well. So I purchased a Kallux shelving unit from Ikea and Alex drawers. When I'm not gel printing the Alex drawers fit nicely under my desk out of the way. I also purchased this handy paper shelf thing from Ikea that fits into one of the cubbies of the Kallux. These 3 purchases have made it easier to get to work quicker and also clean up afterwards. The second tip is this storage box with a paper cutter built into it. It's meant for kitchen papers like parchment but I think it's perfect for rice papers or medical exam papers that come on a roll. I always try to make like simpler when I organize any space because I'm lazy. I won't clean up after myself if I make it too hard. I think most people are like that. So this box not only gives me a place to store the papers but helps me cut them faster as well.These are not affiliate links.

Gel Printing and Collage Tutorial: From Start to Finish! Susan Clifton 2024-12-29 | In today's video I want to take you through the entire process starting with gel printing. Then we will take some of the papers from this session and create a spread in my Ranger Dylusions journal. Gel Printing: I am using Medical Exam paper today. In this session I'm testing what it's like to collage with this paper. I like printing with it but need to like collaging with it as well. I struggle a little in the beginning but like most things I figure out how to best work with this paper. Oh! I also patchwork the papers because my Dylusions journal is large and I need large papers that are almost printed edge to edge.Collage: Watch me as I decide which papers to use and how I create a focal point, finally! I struggled with this but then found a perfect paper that complemented the other papers and I made it my own.

Dental Floss Gel Prints for a Unique Board Book Collage Susan Clifton 2024-12-22 | About a month ago, when I was creating these dental floss gel prints, some of you asked me to show how I use them—so here we are! For this project, I decided to work with a board book. I love the square format of the individual pages, and I envisioned this one as a positive/negative layout. The background papers I chose seemed to call out to me, and I could clearly see the direction for that part of the design—though the rest was a bit less defined.I ended up using a few papers from that same printing session, along with one additional piece that brought something different to the mix but still felt like it belonged. I trusted my intuition throughout the process, and I’m thrilled with how it all came together.Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more creative content.These affiliate links can help support this channel at no extra cost to you:❤️ Princeton Catalyst Wedgeamzn.to/43su5Ni❤️ Liquitex Professional Gloss Gel Medium, 237ml (8-oz)amzn.to/3Q042aK❤️ U.S. Art Supply - Pack of 2-18" x 24" White/Blue Professional Self Healing 5-6 Layer Double Sided Durable Non-Slip Cutting Matamzn.to/470gFcX❤️ Elmer's X-ACTO X3311 N0. 1 Precision Knife With 5 No. 11 Blades, #1 Knifeamzn.to/3subByx❤️ X-Acto® Knife Blades, No. 11 Blade With Safety Dispenser, Pack Of 15amzn.to/4609Ir1❤️ Stainless Steel Metal Ruler:[1 Pieces 12 Inch] Stainless Steel Metal Ruler with Cork Backing Non-Slip Rulers with Inch and Centimeters Metal Ruler Drafting Office Tools Prevent Ink Leakageamzn.to/3QoUBls//Join me on Patreon: patreon.com/susancliftonartist//My Stencils and Masks for sale: susanclifton.com/stencils-masks-mixed-media-artwork//Visit my Website at: susanclifton.com//Follow me on Instagram: instagram.com/painterofthought//Follow me on Facebook: facebook.com/SusanClifton.Art//Join my mailing list by texting PROSPER2020 to 42828 and receive FREE printable art.OR//Stencil Giveaway lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/YDokjLN/stencils[Disclosure: As an Amazon Associate I earn a small commission from qualifying purchases.
