Really found this useful. I particularly liked your emphasis on taking your time cutting the lino. For me this will be good therapy and mindful. Plenty of time to be in flow and appreciate "now". Looking forward to my equipment arriving over the next few days to start enjoying this new creative hobby. Thanks for sharing.🙏
If you want the linoleum to cut easier you can place a piece of paper or newsprint over it and use a household iron on a med-low setting to warm it up.
this takes me back to 1975 and my design college days . when we were missing from classes youd find us at the beach surfing. We shaped and glassed our own boards, mostly MR twin fins back then and we experimented with linocuts wood yellotoungue woodcuts ??? potato cuts and hibiscus Hawaiian flowers in black and colours on our rails as well as step and repeat printing . despite all the surfing and flunking school we passed. waaaaaaa what memories surfs up!
Dont make our mistakes, after designing great logos for our surfboards we photo stated our designs onto fine tissue paper or rice paper( hard to find). and glassed them under the 6 onz fibreglass cloth. they came out great considering they were carbon stats copied on our local library stat machine. However different stat copier machines are not always maintained properly so some of our logos spread the carbon due to the chemical reaction of the mek hardner in the resin and the logo carbon and the beautiful surfboard and all the processed work got ruined on lamination. No choice but to paint over it and try again. so if you do stat try different copiers around town and label them. Heat is supposed to fuse the carbon and dry it. rubbing testing with your fingers on the carbon is not going to solve it. its trial and error. if you use fixative to fix it permanently it may close the tissue and block the resin from saturating the paper and form air bubbles in the lamination I'm experiment with this. In printing there is a thing in lithography called "packing" which is extra small areas of fine paper backing the art sheet youre hand printing on to give a good solid print. The packing paper is placed in the areas not printing well definitely help the final print. you can tear a little piece or pieces or a whole sheet backing "packing" If printing onto fine tissue paper for logos and gifts etc use a full backing sheet to absorb excess ink saturating through the first tissue. a master printer knows all about packing, its an art . they use it a lot in unforgiving lithography metal printing of deodorant , motor oil and cake tins/ metal tin sheet production, unlike paper and card tin plate, doesn't absorb ink. here there is a lot of step and repeat printing which you can do with lino cuts as well.
I found this video very helpful, I do remember heating the linoleum before starting to soften it. Maybe in the edit of this video you could add that tip.
Don't bring the roller back and forth this is going to take forever and you are not going to have a good amount of ink on the block. Just in one direction.
You can use Styrofoam paper all you have to do is get the paper and put your original drawing and trace then get pen and trace your Styrofoam 3 time then do the paint
Ive created a dozen or more lino blocks and eraser slabs as well. I love watching it and doing it. Thanks for tips. Is archetypal ink best on fabric? Resists can work too?
Brilliant thanks for uploading this vedio.. Please tell me,can we use linocut for printing very very fine arts, that means to print lines which are 1/5 of millimetre ?? If yes how to do so?? If not suggest some other manual method??
It's possible to get fine detail (I'm not sure about the exact line width you mentioned), but most people don't spend the time or effort doing that. I'm not really sure if there are tools made that thin.
@@joan-lisa-smith I thought it might be a situation where if one likes clean looking prints, without much grit, they'd probably like lino more. There's gotta be a difference between the look of the final product between woodcut and lino, but I've never heard anyone speak on it..
I’ve got a question, I used to go an art class and we did this, I kept my linoleum and know I want to use it on clothing, the kind of ink that I have is water based but I don’t know if this ink would survive washing, is it safe for my clothes to use water based ink?
Consider sharpening your tools haha. When you were showing the different blades you could see that some of the cutting edges were even gouged out, like the one at 4:05 :/
Aren't Gelli prints usually mono prints? This way you can make as many as you want... say you were doing a bunch of greeting cards. You could use this lino cut to print onto your gelli after layering paint on the gelli, waiting till all layers were dry and then lifting it onto paper. Your background colors would be different with each print, but your flowers (from the lino cut) would be the same.
+glass house it's just his accent, bit of a southern American accent. it's not Computerised :-) I'm one of his virtual students and he always sounds like that as it's his accent.plus he has to be nice and clear when he is doing his instructional video lessons, he has virtual students all over the world. :-) he is an awesome teacher!!!

citylights97 we do that in art class
Heat packs such hot water bottles or wheat packs work well as well
Wow!! Thank you so much. I got so frustrated I gave up on it!
Great tip! Beginner here ✨
Thanks you 😁
This is one of the BEST tutorials I have found on Linocutting/ printmaking! Love the part on thinking in Reverse.
I always like how the carved block looks, not the print lol
You could always frame a carved block! I do like the block better than the print sometimes too lmao

Succinct video that told me exactly what to do with even some troubleshooting at the end. Excellent stuff.
If you get soho printing block, they are softer and easier to cut therefore less chance of hurting yourself
Your voice is weirdly soothing
Bravo. Helpful, friendly, and presented with a good heart. Thanks

I’m currently doing this in class and it really is a lot of fun.
Very nice tutorial. I have considered making a few block print t-shirts
Beautiful design work - very elegant and well done
Great job and thanks for sharing your talent, your voice is very soothing and you explain very clear, can i use acrylic paint instead?
You can also use charcoal tracing paper
BEST beginner's video
Love this video! Thank you so much for creating it! So concise and clear!
We did this in Year 7. We made different types of fish (eg. Guppies) and added different layers of colour!
thank you for this video! You have given me many ideas.
You can use Styrofoam paper all you have to do is get the paper and put your original drawing and trace then get pen and trace your Styrofoam 3 time then do the paint
you should always outline your picture first so your blade doesn't shoot into your lines. the outline helps prevent that from happening.
Ive created a dozen or more lino blocks and eraser slabs as well. I love watching it and doing it. Thanks for tips. Is archetypal ink best on fabric? Resists can work too?
Buy higher quality, sharper tools and you'll greatly reduce the risk of hurting yourself. You'll also end up with my cleaner lines.=
super video good luck keep it up jaya wewa digatama thawa me wage videos danna
This video is very informative! Thank you so much!
Great video! Thanks for making this!
Thank you 🙏🏼 just bought my beginner set
Wonderful!
why you dont simply transfer it with carbon paper :P instead of a simple paper
I've also used a light box.
Hey, I did this in sixth grade!! Decades ago!!
Brilliant thanks for uploading this vedio..

I use an old, heavy glove for protection on my anchor hand, in my case the left.
Yes we know you gilbert youre the Boston strangler when youre not lino cutting well done.....
I liked this keep it up it is very beautiful😊😊😊😊
Não conhecia essa técnica, muito incrível ...
Super helpful and useful. Going to make some holiday cards now!
The dwaring...
Hahahaaa
Trimere I kept repeating this while he was talking. 😆
What a beautiful drawwwing.
Haha.
Are there more block printing videos on your website? Or have you ever thought about creating a course?
I doe this today in my school thanks foor you
Did this at school today.
Thats really cool, man! I want to try this....
Very nice
Great video!!
Thank u so much!, it helped me very much 😊😊
Brilliant tutorial! Thank you
This was so helpful! Thank you!
We’re doing printmaking in my art class
Jacklyn Mackie same here
How do you clean the Lino blocks? Loved your video!
Nailea Large I was wondering this two. I'm guessing lino isn't affected by water, so a damp rag probably? Or just rubbing water over it?
We used this green plastic to do our carving cause we r too young to use wood
I'd think that a very thin tipped knitting needle could be used in place of a tracing pencil/pen.
How can we know if we'd enjoy lino or woodcuting more? I like the grimy medieval woodcut look, does that mean I'd like woodcut more?
Really? How would we all know if you do if you don't? You really don't know how to go about finding out which you like better? Are you trolling us?
@@joan-lisa-smith I thought it might be a situation where if one likes clean looking prints, without much grit, they'd probably like lino more. There's gotta be a difference between the look of the final product between woodcut and lino, but I've never heard anyone speak on it..
Can you use block printing on plastic?
Super nice! Thanx.
I LOVE THIS! AWESOME
This video is helpful. Thanks. Just one comment: the music is super-annoying!
What is the career for this? By the way learnt a lot.
Thank you!
thank you for your time
what wood you've been using?
He's using a linolium block, it's a mix of ground cork dust, linseed oil and other wooden materials.
I’ve got a question, I used to go an art class and we did this, I kept my linoleum and know I want to use it on clothing, the kind of ink that I have is water based but I don’t know if this ink would survive washing, is it safe for my clothes to use water based ink?
If we give some ideas ....can you make some blocks for us?????
Great video, thanks!
very nice design
How long does it take you to cut one of these out?
would carbon paper be better to transfer?
The Riven Main charcoal paper works too..that's what i use
Is this wooden piece ??
Consider sharpening your tools haha. When you were showing the different blades you could see that some of the cutting edges were even gouged out, like the one at 4:05 :/
What's the advantage over using a Gelli printing plate?
Aren't Gelli prints usually mono prints? This way you can make as many as you want... say you were doing a bunch of greeting cards. You could use this lino cut to print onto your gelli after layering paint on the gelli, waiting till all layers were dry and then lifting it onto paper. Your background colors would be different with each print, but your flowers (from the lino cut) would be the same.
can u use this block again and again =? can u clean it after a paint ? sry for my bad english....
Yes the block can be used again and again - provided you are not using the block for a reduction print - which is a whole other thing.
Thanks
what if I don't want my image to look backwards in the final print?
Then do it backwards 😂
Scan and print in a reverse image.
you pronounce the w in drawing?
+The Gabbie show's pikachu I think it's a computerised voice..certainly sound like it..
glass house my maths teacher also pronounces it like that.
+glass house it's just his accent, bit of a southern American accent.
it's not Computerised :-) I'm one of his virtual students and he always sounds like that as it's his accent.plus he has to be nice and clear when he is doing his instructional video lessons, he has virtual students all over the world. :-)
he is an awesome teacher!!!
Christine Robinson thank you so much. I appreciate that.
No problem :-)
Im doing this project in art class
karakami solves a lot of the pitfalls in this technique.
Interesting, as I’ll be attempting this art in a workshop. But the music (and I use the term loosely) was so annoying I couldn’t watch to the end.
Thank you about your video clip!
Draw-wing?!
I'm doing this in art class, it's so difficult
I think we’re about to start doing it when we’re allowed back at school
Beautiful :)
"Draw-wing"
Where is this accent from?
We did this in 7th grade!
Mariam Hassen im doing it in 7th grade right now
ok...
We did too
I am to
Beautyfull
Why not just use carbon paper to trace the sketch on I wonder
Hey man! Printers have been invented some time ago. You should check them out!
tooooo late but its gud i appreciate it
USE ALL F THE PAINT THIS SHIT IS GIVING ME ANXIETY AHHH
😍😍
drawling
the finger nails....
I don’t think David Bull would enjoy this video very much...
4:59= Wiggle
Your ink looks very dry -
The background music was REALLY annoying!
Kasep bisa bahasa sunda t
Heloo
I'm in primary and I used the sharp tool I was cutting my flower the tool slide down so fast I cute my mommy finger
AAAAAAAAAGH B L O O D !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
anyone whaching for homework bisr
Georgie Whitcombe i
I guess carbon paper is obsolete, huh.
Hot
Nobody pronounces lino as "linno". It is pronounced "line-o".
