finally someone who uses he brayer less, and paints the plate with texture ideas. I am tired of people making swatches and thinking it is finished art. You have forged ahead. Good video.

Since discovering Gelli plate printing I have wanted to have a go. Trawling the internet to find inspirational demonstrations left me disappointed, until I found your work. I am now truly inspired, it's beautiful. Thanks for sharing it.

So atmospheric. Waiting for boats to appear out of the mist with a startled sea bird flying across, the rush of their wings, the creak of waves, ropes & boards & the mournful clang of a metal buoy the only sounds

I like watching tutorials without the talking so I can just follow along and create a piece as I watch it. Thank you

Masterful use of the gelli plate. Building layer upon layer to create such a beautiful abstract landscape. Love this video and your art!

This is stunning, so beautiful. Very tonalist, which I love. Great to see this 'fine art' being created. Also, love the soft music, very relaxing. Enjoyed this so much and learned a great deal. Thank you.

This is really beautiful and moody, and really nice to just sit and watch and listen to the lovely music.

Reminds me of a very damp wintery morning on a dreary day in the marsh expecting a flock of ducks to come swooming in. Beautiful...

[katemorgan]

You have been my inspiration to use the gelli plate as a means to expressing landscapes as a feeling. It leaves room for people to see what suits them best. I also love the music you choose. I love your work. I do hope you will eventually make more videos. Stay well and creative.

[ChrisSenM]

Stunning! Makes me think about my gelli plate in a completely new way. Thank you!

[pvillez]

I had never seen someone do this before until yesterday. It's hipnotic watching you realise it and see the layers emerge as if a dream being spilt from the painted rollers. Thank you for sharing this beautiful work.
