Thank you for the clear, helpful and intelligent delivery. And thank you for avoiding the pitfall of joking, self aggrandizing, repetition and detouring. Your very pleasant mannerism and knowledge coupled with your ‘lessons learned” made this a delightful and helpful video. Bravo!
Excellent tips. You're a great artist. This is a very intelligent & professional presentation. I'm 67 years old and learned a lot from you in a few minutes. Thanks!
Such great tips. I wished I had watched this before I bought my ink! I'll follow your advice and get some oil-based ink. Thanks for making this video 🙂
water based is great though, you just need to buy a higher quality ink. it is so much easier to work with and clean up than oil. the ink and the carving tools are the most important part of linoleum printing, so dont buy the cheap stuff!
As an alternative to the roller, can you potentially brush different colours of ink onto select areas on the soft pink lino so you can do multiple colours ?
Loved the video. I'm definitely going to try the safe wash oil ink as I'm not happy with the results I'm getting with water based ink. Can you tell me the name of the paper you use, as I couldn't quite understand it in the video? Thanks!
I use khadi cotton rag paper or sea white recycled paper and more recently I have been using Japanese bamboo printmaking paper which I would also recommend
heei, thanks for the tips! i have a q regarding painting the lino before carving, so the drawing is easier to see. what do you use to paint it? just acrylic paint?
I'm just getting into block printing and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I'm using the gray lino with wood backing and the print is picking up the texture of the lino. Is it bad lino? Has the ink gone bad (year old, water based)? Am I not using enough ink (I tried to add more but it didn't seem to matter)? I really love your videos! Just found them and glad I did :)
i think its a good video, but I think it would be better to title it as "beginner" tips. alot of this stuff is not that relevant after you get past beginner stages and some of the tips are not the best way of doing stuff, but you dont discover that until you have been printing for a while.
Thank you for being so efficient going through the tips. No unnecessary chit chat, just good advice. Others should take notes :)
Thank you💕🌷

I'm very new to this but I've seen people use a sponge!
Similar to ceramics I think

Started out on woodblock with an exacto knife before I could afford the right materials. If I ever get arthritis that’s why.

I just use normal acrylic paint any brand is fine I just use whatever paint I have, atm I'm using Windsor and newton
Any recommendations on storage of finished prints, using oil based inks as the medium and acid free paper as the substrate?
