You are gifted both in your ability to print and to teach. Every word was important. No blabla, slow enough to having time to digest. This - for me - is the best film on youtube. You should be proud of it! Thank you very much
I've watched a lot of reduction linocut how-tos and yours is head and shoulders above the rest! I'm off to try it myself tomorrow, feeling a bit more confident after watching this! Thanks!
By far one of the best and most concise tutorials on reduction linocut techniques. To have the "print state" suite just adds to the value of this lesson. Mahalo Christina!
Thank you for producing such a clear and concise demonstration of reduction linocut technique! This is the best example I've found-easy to follow and with just the right amount of information. I would really love to see a how-to of a couple simple registration techniques. I'm having a lot of trouble with that. :)
Very well explained and demonstrated. I almost forgot about this process. I imagine with some forthought and a graphic tool like Photoshop, you can realize that various layers before cutting the actual linoleum block.
This is one very cool instructional! When I first took the ASVAB for the Navy the first job they recommended was Lithographer's Mate. It didn't seem very cool at the time but now that I have found my creative side 20 years later I see that I had an artistic side in me all along! Thanks for the video!
Brilliant demo ! Thank you . This is a hard technique for me to get my head around - it is a very different way of thinking . Kind regards - Judi - Australia
Thanks for your well organized, eloquent 'how to' of reductive lino printing. i've shied away from the technique due to the amount of planing required. You have simplified the steps for me.
I just got started in printmaking. bought my first lino cut few days back. And this video helped me understand Reduction Lino cut in such a beautiful way that it felt like I made the work... Thank you Taylor. I hope to now try my hands at Reduction technique and as you said "Reduction tech. is not a simple process. It requires some serious planning...." and this is what I am looking for right now, something new something challenging :)
Thank you Christina for this wonderful demonstration of this beautiful print (great job btw!). I am in the process (planning phase) of doing a reduction print. My print will be my Christmas card that I will be giving to family and friends this year. I want to do about 30 prints. So I had better get going. Thanks again, take care.
Thank you Christina for this excellent demonstration of Picasso’s famous technique. This video is a very clear demonstration and very well presented thank you.
I really enjoyed this demonstration. I did note that when cutting out the blue you had to leave the lines for the black. I would have assumed that the blue blob would be just cut out but then you would have lost those black lines. This is a very important point to understand the reduction process. And I just also realised the same goes for the red and yellow. I've learnt a lot from this video, thanks.
Amazing tutorial! I appreciate so much your sharing the technique used by Picasso. It is complex, but you have easily broken down the steps to make it easy to follow. Be especially blessed!!!
Thank you for sharing this. It's one thing to see a work of art and appreciate it from an aesthetic standpoint. But sometimes, there comes a work that, through technique, makes the observer think: "how in the world did they do this?" For those that like to take the world apart, it's doubly interesting. I also appreciate that the destruction of the linoleum at each stage turns the mass-production ability of the press on its head, forcing a kind of scarcity like more traditional mediums.
Excellent way of showing the reduction technique. I especially liked inking the background first. Planning is needed and the step-by-step was really helpful.
FYI I have watched this video at least 15 times. I'm actually trying to do this technique now. I think you explained it really well, so me watching it multiple times is about my learning curve. But it is really hard to find a step by step tutorial on reduction printmaking. This is really clear, and I appreciate it. I've just had trouble with paper, ink, carving, so I keep coming back to it because I am going to do this! Also Picasso was my first art love. I was very "off" him for a while due to his ...bad boyfriend status. 😂 Still you never forget your first ...😢
When she sets the inked lino cut onto the bed of the press, she places the 'guides' around the lino (the 2 right angle / corner pieces). These corner pieces then have additional 'guides' or slots(?) on top of them which are set out to the dimensions of the paper she is printing on - these guides allow the paper to sit on top of the inked lino in the exact place each time. Once the paper is sitting on the inked surface, she removes the guides and then prints.
Wonderfully demonstrated and explained. Thank you very much. Now I just need to make an image that I can print using this technique which you have so wonderfully illuminated...
Great video! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge of Picasso and this cool technique. Your demonstration was so simple and easy to understand. I learned a lot!
Really enjoyed the presentation of the process. Your presentation style is very approachable. Imho, the Lino piece at the end Is as interesting as the prints.
This is such a great tutorial & workshop video presentation. It makes you realize & understand that the "art" is the entire process behind the final print (no pun intended, lol). And now, I truly believe that's the way both artists envisioned it to be. Not the 1 print outcome/result, but the creative & labor intensive process needed to achieve it. Genius!
A time ago I saw an exhibition at the Lever gallery in Liverpool of a succescioin of a Picasso print so you could see the order of things. Very interesting as is this video Thank you

I agree with this! I was amazed the whole video with her maginificent talent and ability to teach and share knowledge! Congrats and thank you!
Those prints are one of a kind, indeed, since it cannot be reproduced again and again like they do now by using different plates. 👍😊
GIFTED?! ahaha
Excellent teacher. Talented artist and craftsperson. Thanks for sharing this.
I've watched a lot of reduction linocut how-tos and yours is head and shoulders above the rest! I'm off to try it myself tomorrow, feeling a bit more confident after watching this! Thanks!
You can do it! Let us know how it goes!

Utterly astonishing. What a huge amount of work!
Oh my gosh. The precision of the registration! Beautiful and fascinating! Thank you!

And thank you for all your effort. I learned from my teacher 50 years ago and no one has really done it clearly
What a brilliant tutorial. Clear, concise yet a really comprehensive explanation of this technique. Thank you so much.

We used to do this in school in my youth! 😊
Excellent demonstration
Realy great done! Thank you!
Excellent! 👏😘
Excellent, thank you!
Not a second wasted! Thank you!
This is a masterful demonstration. Thank you very much for the great planning and care you took to make this complex technique accessible.
Great video. You really showed that quite a bit of planning is involved with this method.
I really enjoyed this demonstration. I did note that when cutting out the blue you had to leave the lines for the black.

This is an absolutely wonderful tutorial. Thank you so much! I would love to know the specifics of how you constructed the t-bar jig.
Perfect presentation. Thank you so much
Terrific work, Ms. Taylor.😃
Excellent video. Well demonstrated. Clear explanations and better than any demonstration about this topic I have found.
Just great explained! Thank you.
Wow! What a fantastic video! I think I can begin to understand and perhaps try this now!
Amazing tutorial! I appreciate so much your sharing the technique used by Picasso. It is complex, but you have easily broken down the steps to make it easy to follow. Be especially blessed!!!
Love these series :))
Excellent demonstration. Perfect pace and explanations throughout. Thank you very much.
Very informative! Thanks for the video.

Thank you - really well presented and clear.
This is awesome! Talent + skill + patience = amazing results. Thank you for such an amazing video.
This is just fantastic! I'm going to try!
Excellent video! Very informative.

I have watched this multiple times and I cannot tell how you are ensuring they line up correctly.
When she sets the inked lino cut onto the bed of the press, she places the 'guides' around the lino (the 2 right angle / corner pieces). These corner pieces then have additional 'guides' or slots(?) on top of them which are set out to the dimensions of the paper she is printing on - these guides allow the paper to sit on top of the inked lino in the exact place each time. Once the paper is sitting on the inked surface, she removes the guides and then prints.
Wonderfully demonstrated and explained. Thank you very much. Now I just need to make an image that I can print using this technique which you have so wonderfully illuminated...
Fantastic! Wow, I have always struggled understanding this technique. You did a great job making it look easy! Even though its totally not… lol
How brilliant, and how instructive!
Fascinatin! Thank you for explaining it so well
This is amazing , not sure i can get away with perfecting it without a machine but cool method I will forsure play with in the future .
Thank you so much for this (and your other) excellent video demonstrations. So inspiring and clear. I hope the series continues :)
Great video! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge of Picasso and this cool technique. Your demonstration was so simple and easy to understand. I learned a lot!
That was fantastic! New to linocut art but feeling less intimidated, now. I can't wait to get to this point. Thank you so much!
Thank you, wonderful teaching
I appreciate the process :)
Really excellent teacher.
Thank you it is very interesting!
Very clear modelling of the lino printing technique! Feeling more confident to work with my y9 students but only using 2 colours - time restrictions!
You, your art, your teaching, and this video are all great.
What a fascinating process!
Thankyou so much! Taking a class at Crystal Bridges in linocut and this makes it more clear.
Thank you very much! Fantastic demo!
Finally an explination and tutorial that makes sense! Thank you!!
Thank you so much for sharing that I enjoyed watching the process! Your teaching is easy to follow.
Really enjoyed the presentation of the process. Your presentation style is very approachable. Imho, the Lino piece at the end
Is as interesting as the prints.
This is a really excellent demonstration of Picasso's technique, which is usually very misunderstood.
Wonderful demonstration! I have always wanted to try this but will stick to mono prints for a while to practice
Excellent demonstration thank you so much.
That was so well explained! Thank you.
Just phenomenal! Bravo, and thanks for sharing.
Very clear and concise. This is going to help me so much. Thank you !!!

Wonderful demonstration! And that brayer...🤩
This was an excellent demonstration. Thanks for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!
I agree ... that's a lot of work ! ! !
Both the explanation and the performance were precise and artistic.👍🙏
this is amazing! what is the poor man's/DIY version of the press machine used?
What she said! Excellent job; I can't wait to try it.....
Excellent!
Wow! Brilliant demonstration - you inspire me to try it myself! Thank you!
How do you know how to exactly fit your lino block each time over the paper.....not easy.
Thank you. That's such an interesting process.
A time ago I saw an exhibition at the Lever gallery in Liverpool of a succescioin of a Picasso print so you could see the order of things. Very interesting as is this video Thank you
