Mixed Media Patchwork Using Gel Plates & Stencils

What happens when you stop planning your gel prints… and just play? In this video, I’m exploring intuitive patchworking on the gel plate—no plan, no pressure, just letting instinct take the lead. Instead of overthinking every layer, I’m building prints piece by piece, responding to what’s already on the plate and seeing where it takes me. This approach is all about freedom and discovery. It’s perfect if you’ve ever felt stuck, uninspired, or unsure what to do next. Sometimes the most interesting results come from letting go of control and trusting the process. You’ll see how I: Build layered prints using a patchwork approach Work intuitively without a set plan Turn simple pieces into something unexpectedly cohesive If you’ve been craving a more playful, less structured way to create, this might be exactly what you need. 💬 Let me know in the comments—do you prefer planning your prints, or do you like to just play? 🎨 Learn with me: https://mixedmediamastery.com/ 📩 JOIN MY PAID MEMBERSHIP FOR EXCLUSIVE CONTENT: https://www.youtube.com/c/SusanCliftonArtist/join These affiliate links can help support this channel at no extra cost to you: ❤️ Epakh Tracing Paper 120 Sheets, 9 x 12 Inch Tracing Paper for Drawing, (9 x 13 Inch) This is the deli paper I use https://amzn.to/498i17b ❤️ Exam Table Paper - 14''x225’ https://amzn.to/4euwegh ❤️ Yasutomo Hosho Paper Sketch Pad 9 Inch by 12 Inch 48 Sheets https://amzn.to/47xEOc5 ❤️ ONAO Japanese Rice paper - 100 sheets https://amzn.to/3NlwgLX ❤️ 500 Sheets Newsprint Paper 8.5 x 11in Plain Newsprint https://amzn.to/3ZD0foO 🎨 Nova Color Paint - https://tinyurl.com/mr326ks6 //My Stencils and Masks for sale: https://susanclifton.com/stencils-masks-mixed-media-artwork/ //Visit my Website at: https://susanclifton.com/ //Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/painterofthought/ //Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SusanClifton.Art/ //Join my mailing list by texting PROSPER2020 to 42828 and receive FREE printable art.
