@@sandyhairston3943 thanks. It was lots of fun and took about half an hour.

@@nikudawillowfrost yes do, let me know how it goes. I have a chatroom on my website where you can post your artwork if you're interested. www.artwithtricia.com

Glad you enjoyed it. Another one coming out in a few days.

Thanks. So much fun playing with these tubes of watercolour paint💫

Thanks 🙌🙌🙌

It's for sale on my website www.artwithtricia.com/product-page/princess-and-the-pea

Thanks. You can mute and just watch if you prefer. 😉

Thanks for this. I have a few videos like this with loose sketchy landscapes. I even have some very loose 'watery landscapes' which are all about letting the watercolour flow across the paper. This set probably took about 30-40 minutes to tape up, draw in, dry and add washes. There is a full (real time) video here ruclips.net/video/LjVU2eIHF0w/видео.htmlsi=K9_pSbcWpPlR7TUe Good luck with your artwork!

Me too!

Oh great, glad this was useful. I don't have any tips for dried out pens though...... except get on and use them😉

Thanks. Of course you could! It's just lots of practice 😊

Brilliant! So glad it went well! 👍

I buy a lot of equipment from a shop called handprinted in the UK, I also use Jacksons art and Intaglio printmakers. The printing press is a 'craft cutter' press caller Xcut Xpress. wishing you lots of success in you printing learning journey.

My pleasure 😊

So glad you have found this video useful. Good luck with your project. Do share your project, I'd love to see how it goes!

Thanks! They are on my website. I was really pleased with how they turned out.

Hi, I'm not sure what your question is. Make sure you fully ink the lino block and it is a good even coverage. If you have large areas of ink you may find them hard to get a good print. Make sure your paper is not too thick because this can make printing tricky. Take your time burnishing (rubbing) if you don't have a printing press. Lift one corner and check. If the paper doesn't stick to the lino block a little bit it may be that you are not applying enough ink to start with. Good luck 🤞

Yes the little cutter cuts at a 45 degree angle. You can buy mountboard with different coloured inner core. So you may have a blackmount but white or cream inner. I guess a 45 degree angle, not only shows the inner core, but is also a softer step down between mount and artwork. If you had a double mount you could have a black mount then a white line of the inner core and then a black mount then a white line and then your artwork. It's a good way to make your mount look 'jazzy'! 😉

So glad it was useful 🤗

I use traditional grey hessian backed lino. But I have other videos with mastercut (great for stamps), softcut, easycarve etc. I find the plastic/vinyl types a bit too soft for my liking so prefer the grey lino best.

@@artwithtricia thank you for the quick reply, I have one last question, what’s the easiest way to keep your blades sharp? I’m hearing about using a wetstone or even a diamond plate but there no way I would be able to get that.

@@catlin3949 buy a slipstrop. It's a wooden block with suede on it and you use it to keep the blade sharp. It doesn't sharpen blunt tools, but if you use it every 30 minutes or after/before each carving session it will keep the 'edge' on your tools. I have some whet stones and if you're not sure what you're doing you can ruin your tools. If you have expensive tools use the slipstrop and then when you feel they are snagging when you carve send them to Lawrence in Hove. They resharpen carving tools and it only costs about £5 each. Much cheaper than messing around yourself! Hope that helps.

@@artwithtricia thank you so much, super helpful!!

So glad you are enjoying them. I also teach online; online live courses or on-demand courses. Do checkout my website. www.artwithtricia.com 😉

I'm just dropping water on, but I think I'm using some Daniel Smith granulating watercolour. I don't tend to wash my palettes off (unless I have a specific piece of work to do) so I picked up premixed colours from previous works! So that may be why it looks like it's granulating. You can create fantastic granulation with regular watercolour and acrylic inks. The ink clumps and splits in the water. Give it a try.

Yes the print is extremely popular. I have a few artist proofs left on my website and I've recently had some badges made with the image. Check them out at www.artwithtricia.com

The video on making a dip pen is coming out in about a week's time. But the pens are so cool.... it's worth the wait.

Thanks I'd love to see what you create. I have a chatroom on my website where my students share their work. www.artwithtricia.com/student-chatroom

Ha ha, fantastic. I'm just about to edit a video to show you how I made the metal dip pen.

My art studio....is my conservatory. Which is a bit cold at the moment! 🥶 But I'm lucky to have a space where I can spread out and leave projects out. I hope you enjoy my other videos.

Thanks. Vintage frames can be so interesting and matching them to the right piece of work can really make them sing!

Yes I mixed this colour specially for this print.

It's and Xcut Xpress, but these aren't for sale any more. Try the Sizzix big shot or the big shot pro.

👍 thanks

Thanks 😊

Thanks. I love working in these sketchbooks.

It's an Xcut Xpress

@@artwithtricia thks

It's a hawthorn roller. It's lovely and soft. My favourite. handprinted.co.uk/collections/rollers/products/hawthorn-inking-roller

😂 yes you're right!

For good quality prints you need to find a company that does giclee printing. These are archival prints that are very similar to your original (paper and detail). Artists often create a limited edition of giclee prints. With regards to posting this really depends on size. Anything up to A4 can be mounted and sandwiches between card and be posted in an envelope/cardboard envelope. Anything A3 and up should probably be rolled and sent in a postal tube. But this all depends if you are selling them framed or not. Have a look online for someone selling work similar to yours and maybe contact them to see how they send their work out. Best of luck with your Watercolours and selling your work.

Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thanks ⭐

Thanks

You may need to sand your lino a little before you start carving. Use a fine wet and dry paper. The surface can be a little uneven and oils from the lino can come up to the surface which causes "reticulation" (the printing ink pulling back and pooling/separating). It may be your ink. I use an oil based ink. I found it harder to get an even print with acrylic printing inks. It's also harder to get even coverage if you have large areas of flat colour to print, so you may want to plan your design around that. Good luck and let me know how you get on. 🤞

Thanks for the question. I don't use acrylic I use a specific oil based printing ink by Cranfield. The ink is slow to dry so once rolled on the block you lay the paper on top and either press with a barren (which is a smooth weight) or put through a press. Then you peel the paper off and start the process again. The print on the paper can take a few hours to a few days to dry. I usually hang mine up on a line to dry for a few days.

My pleasure, glad it was useful. 🙂

Thanks

Thanks. I love this colour as well it's quite striking.
