I'll share with you 3 demonstrations of how to create image transfers using gelli printing.
From my Skillshare class - 'Create Successful Image Transfers Using Gelli Printing'
View Skillshare Class - skl.sh/3fw3ecv

In this art class, we are going to focus entirely on creating successful image transfers using the gelli printing techniques. We will start with my favourite and easiest technique, using downloaded laser-printed images on pre-painted backgrounds. Then we will move on to using those same printed images, using a two colour mono-print. Finally, you will learn how to create successful image transfers using magazine pages.

    I wanted to make you aware of the following: I did a lot of testing with inkjet printers instead of laser print copies. I have a Canon Pixma inkjet printer which uses a combination of pigment and dye ink. There are two methods for reliable image transfers: 1. Use brochure paper. 2. A fantastic cheap method I came across lately: just use plain paper. Use a black and white image (color converted to gray scale) and print it with your printer with normal, color (yes color ! settings). Press it onto your plate without any medium. Spray the back with water. Let it sit for a while. The water on the back of the paper will dislodge the ink. Peel the paper off and you will have a perfect transferred image. It might not work with every printer, but with printers such as Canon that use a combination of inks it works flawlessly

    FYI Using a Gelli Plate to make "transformative art" is legal and not subject to copyright. Andy Warhol's estate was sued and the case was thrown out due to "Transformative Art" falls under the First Amendment right to free speech as is an expression in the US at least..Andy Warhols famous prints of Cambell's Soup was not an imposter that the average person would not think the print was an actual advertisement from the Cambell's Soup company because of the crazy bright colors transforming the original image into art.

    You are the best teacher ever! I’m finally getting a good understanding of the steps for gelli printing. As always, your enthusiasm inspires me. Even my husband is itching to try this! Lol.
  • @elisesterling9634
    So good. I’ve watched twice now. I just got my (geli ?) plate and some new acrylics! I’m going to work with it for the first time tomorrow!

  • @cindycreateforlife
    Your videos are so good, very relaxed and really fun! I have tried a few times to transfer but not much luck! At least you have piqued my interest to try again with your encouragement. I wish I could just take a 24 hr flight to New Zealand and make art together!🤣🤣🤣🤣. Long way from Ontario, Canada!💕🇨🇦
