Hi. What's the bed of your etching press made of? I've seen beds made of some reinforces resin material and steel. The press I'm interested in buying has only 3mm steel plate as the bed - I'd prefer something thicker. Can wood also be used as the bed/ and or sandwiched underneath that steel plate? I'll also speak to the manufacturer to find out, but If you answer, I'll know what to expect when I talk to someone who 'knows more and won't hesitate to use it against me' ;p Regards, Greg

This Is so precious! I didn't know about monotypes, its so misterious!! I wonder if its posible to make It with oil and turpentine but printed by hand, i know turpentine makes the oil dry faster so maybe the transfer would not be well if its not with the machine printer you have. What Is the diferente you find of using ink for engraving or oil? I apologize if you dont understand me, i only speak spanish. Thank you for shearing your art procesos.

The nude has a shine to it. So is the image we see here on plexiglass or on paper? And is the image produced in layers or just one?

Just gorgeous.

I saw a ghost or a genie or pippi longstocking even. He saw a naked woman. Sad

Tom, Do you dampen the paper? Nice work. Like the way you developed a center of interestt and then a bit of red for a secondary place for the eye.

Very interesting and inspiring! Thank you for sharing your process and creativity.

hello, amazing print! What can we do if we dont have a press?

I wish you the best buddy hope i wasn’t too much

Also this is very nice, good stuff… I can’t do that

I appreciate seeing your process and hope you get at least a chance to get by on your talents if not prosper in time

I’d really like a list of things used . Is it only one print that you would get?

Must you use etching ink? Anything else ?

what are you thinning your ink with?

A post of the final print would be appreciated

it's a swatten cob covid week-year-life. I appreciate you sharing this. 😆🙃😂

Are you using a rolling pin to blot the paper? If so, any particular type or weight?

Thank you so much for this clear explanation! I am just getting into print making with a craft press (I’ve done encaustic monotypes for years) and have been unsure of the 3 blankets and each ones use. Looking forward to binging on your videos!

I'm new to Monotype, Tom and I find your videos absorbing and inspiring - and by the way: I like the fact that you do not over-do the commentary - actions always speak louder than words.😁

Cool!!

loves this video very informative and as a fellow monotype printmaker it was really interesting. Thank you !!

Beautiful. Inspiring & relaxed demo. Thank you! Hope you’re doing well, Tom.

Also what is a grease pencil please

A pleasure to watch you work! The image is engaging and full of mystery. Thanks for sharing your skills.

Fantastic Tom. Have really enjoyed that. And thanks for showing us.

Thank you for sharing your monotype process - always great to see another method and to listen to the artist as the print is being worked.

Excellent demo, thank you.

That's awesome man thanks for sharing your talents/ knowledge 👍

Wonderful art. . .delightful sence of humor!

Yes , i like that Sir ...figure looks spot on sits in there very well .

Love the process and the result.

Thank you Sir Tom Bennett for sharing your magnificent equine monotype!

Great to see another wonderful artwork and video from you good Sir!

Thanks

Thanks for the demo Tom. Of course this is a monotype!! Many printmakers do several layers for a monotype. If it is one unique image that cannot be repeated, then it is a monotype!!

This is so nostalgic and dramatic as well.

Is this thinner??

Wish you'd post more video's Tom! Though very much appreciate when you do. Artwork turned out fantastic!

how is it that the plate image flipped midway through the video before it was printed?

Thanks a bunch for the press information. And thanks for giving me a name for my next band...Swathen Cobb. Ha!

Good stuff. Just starting gathering information on monotype printing. Your tutorial is a huge help, fun to watch and listen to, and creative as hell. Thanks so much. Love the final image.Please tell me the name and model of the printer you use

Dear Tom. Thank you for the informative video. I included a link to your video in my video’s description. My video is a series on how to build an etching press from scratch Here is a link to my video: ruclips.net/video/lS1YTUlXqzY/видео.html

Hello from France. Thanks a lot for sharing. Great work.

Are you painting on with oil paint or etching ink?

If you could cover your pigment mixing and brush loading in the next video, it would be advantageous.Merci

Learned a lot from your demo and expertise on how to handle watercolor. "Watercolor is a challenging medium. It takes some bravery and no hesitation."

What kind of printing press is that Tom? What are the specs for the printing bed?
