Definitely need an intro to lino cutting, please! Great video as always 👍
Brilliant video, as always. I’d love a Lino video as well, you’re brilliant at demystifying these things
As a former qualified art teacher and art lecturer, your teaching an work is excellent, not at all patronising and you are also an excellent artist yourself, wonderful that you are taking time out to teach and show like all teachers you want to share your knowledge. Loveday
Forgot to add, I too am a printer ( plus all other mediums in art) in all mediums but the gel mono printing is new and exciting to me, you have certainly opened up my eyes to so many new possibilities cannot wait to experiment in many other ways as well. Loveday
Thank you for another inspiring video. Please do an intro to lino cutting and printing. Love your teaching style .
I love the way you're always experimenting, combining ideas to come up with something new. I'll definitely be trying these techniques out, thanks Mark 😊
It's always a good day when you've posted a video. Thanks.
Just a smorgasbord full of lovely ideas and techniques to supercharge my creativity!! Thank you, Mark-- It's always a great day when I wake up to a new video from you!
Did I like it? LOVED it! You are so inspiring Mark! It’s been years since I’ve done any printmaking whatsoever although I do have training. But after almost 20 years, I could use a refresh in Linos…specifically how you carve in such fine detail which is what I’m wanting to do. You have single handedly inspired me to begin working with gelli plates because I’d always thought the process was too craftsy as opposed to fine art. You’ve changed that for me. Your explorations are amazing and inspiring. I save every single video you do here on You Tube and look forward to the next one. Thank you for all the sharing you do, and how you do it.
Yes please do some videos on linocut! Thank you. As always love your creativity so much. Thank you so much for sharing!
Seconded, interested in lino but intimidated to start
Yes. I'd love a video on creating lino cuts. Also, some book recommendations would be lovely. Thank you for your consideration.
Recently returned to printmaking actively, and it's been such a joy to find your channels and binge your videos, especially around the gel plates. I love your approach to printmaking, and art in general. Thanks so much for the amazing educational content!
A pleasure to share and glad you got some ideas and inspo : )
I'd love to see an intro to lino cutting video. I have lino blocks and tools but just daren't start!
Hi Rozelle, done deal! I'll make one soon. I'd always been reluctant as there is already so much out there on lino cutting. Sure I can put my on spin on it!!!
@@yeatesmakes Thank you! I know there are other videos out there but I just seem to learn better from you. You always bring something new to the table too. Still hoping you'll do in-person workshops one day :)
I wish to register a HUGE support for the idea of in-person workshops!!! Just please schedule far enough in advance for those of us who need to make travel arrangements!
Absolutely beautiful example of your collage art. You never fail to impress. I am in agreement. Intro to linocut videos.
Yes please, it woul be another thrill to see you cutting lino stamps and talking about stamping in general. Loved this and all your earlier videos and always exited to see a new one has come out. ❤
Would love it if you could demo lino cut, I havent a clue what tools are called or where I can get bigger bits of lino from, Thanks Mark, yet another inspiring video! 🥰xxx
This is so so cool! Amazing as usual.
Yes, please make a lino cut video, I make my own lino stamps too but would love to learn more with all the different ways you print!
Printing ( or screen printing) takes me all the way back to high school.. I still love it.
Thank you for sharing your amazing techniques, I really love the way you layer, just fantastic!
You have SUCH a unique talent... so different than others and AMAZING! I wish you made stamps like the crow... for us that have no drawing talent AT ALL! LOL I would LOVE to be able to print that crow and others that you have done on your channel, onto some of my gel prints.
It's ALWAYS a PLEASURE watching and being educated by You. Thank you SO much! MUCH Love & Respect... Deborah
I would love a lino cut into video! Thank you 🙏
OMG !!! This is brilliant ! Love Love Love !!! Thank you so much ! Kind regards - Judi - Australia 😍👏👏👏
Again- incredible! Please a video of Lino cutting stamps , I would love to see your process. Love your work !!! Thank you.
As always, your originality is inspiring and your results are lovely. Thank you for your generosity! ❤
Thanks for thanks Pat, very kind : )
Inspirational Mark! Beautiful series and technical wizardry….💖💖💖🇦🇺
I’d love a lino video!
You just keep doing it - being a terrific inspiration for the rest of us. Thanks for sharing :)
Brilliant work Mark. You have taken gelli printing to such a higher level of art. Thank you for all you do.
I don’t think I would ever have thought to combine these different print techniques, but I love it!
Glad you enjoyed : )
This is great! I love how you use simple everyday objects for your textures.
Always love your videos, thanks for sharing all the tips & ideas!
Loved hearing your dog’s dreaming noises while you were working, it was so cute!
Now those are cracking and cool prints! another inspirational tutorial, Wonderfull!!! 😮
So refreshing to see interesting artwork done on a gel plate!!!!! Dead crows in black- yeah!!!!! Mermaids in pastel colors? Yuck!!!!
Lol. Totally agree!!! (Unless the mermaids have fangs, or weapons, or something....)
Both are nice.
That linocut is spectacular! Such great ideas and execution.
Would LOVE to see a linocut tutorial. I'm dabbling now. I cannot believe how difficult it is for my brain to think in reverse.
You've knocked it out of the park again! Your ingenuity and originality is so very inspiring! I just loved this video. And YES to a lino cut video! Maybe a simple image, and a slightly more complex one? I very much want to get into that. I've got my carving knives sharpened and my lino! Now please show me what to do!!
OK, there seems to be some appetite for some lino stuff : ) thanks for feedback and taking time to comment
Really needed this today. Thanks, Mark. Some brilliant ideas! One of my favorite channels.
wow...wow...WOW!!! I so enjoy your videos and experimental work. I'm hooked on monoprint making. Your videos really open up the possibilities. Thank you!!!
Fantastic! If you’re so inclined, I know that I would learn a lot from a linocut video. Thanks again.
Wonderful creative exploration! Thank you so much for sharing this with us! 👏👏👏
Love the contrast between the gelli print textures and the Lino cut print. I’d love to see a Lino tutorial by you.
Always learn something new from your videos. Thanks for sharing 😊
Always good to see your lovely outcome , thank you so much again for sharing 😊
Oh my goodness, I don't line but the empty space from the mask could be used for su many techniques, thank you, thank you
I've already seen the video but reviewing it was as interesting to me. I really appreciate your work. Thanks
Another great video! Thank you for sharing your work. I would love to see a Lino cut video as well. I’m positive it will be just as fun to watch 😀
you never cease to amaze me! Would love some lino cut tutorials! Did a few, but total beginner
Thank you! ⭐️ Your videos are so inspiring and jam packed with remarkable reminders and concise info … sprinkled with your wonderful relaxed and approachable way of presenting. On top of this, your end results are unique, expressive and professional. I am ALWAYS looking forward to your next video!
Thanks for another outstanding video. And since you asked ... YES, I would love to see an intro video on lino cutting!
Always, ALWAYS inspiring! Many thanks!
Congratulations Mark on being invited by Drew D to be a guest on the Gel Printing course. I will be signing up for it of course. Have followed you from Day 1 and pretty much tried all your ideas and enjoyed it so much. Don’t often comment but had to say well done you deserve wider recognition and you’re going to get it! Alison
Hi Alison, that's such a lovely comment! Glad to know you're still watching and trying techniques! I'll be putting a promo video about the Gel Plate Summit with an affiliate link for people to sign up to really soon - looks like a really good deal with a good range of instructors.
Another great video! Would really enjoy a video on beginner lino techniques. Thanks again.
Thank you, you are so generous with your art!❤
Wonderful ideas once again. I look forward to your next video on linocut process. So inspiring.
Love the bold graphics and your teaching style. I'm a new subscriber, and I'm marathon watching your videos. Thank you for so generously sharing your craft. You got my support!
Brilliant techniques again - thank you for generously sharing all these processes - very inspiring! 🤩
Brilliant!!! Yes, I want a lino tutorial.
Awesome and I’d love a Lino cutting & printing video!
I'll get a video made soon : )
wonderful art work! yes, please, I need a lino cut video!
Fascinating work, as always, Mark!
Love love love your videos. All of them. ❤
Fantastic, Mark! Innovative as ever ❤
Yes please to a lino cut print tutorial! I find lino printing a bit too confining and time consuming on its own for an entire picture, but for a stamp with a freer gel printed background it comes to life for me.
I would love to see more linocuts! Wonderful job as always! I love seeing your process and imagination in action!
Very interesting way of adding a focal point to gelli prints 👍🏼
I just love the way you work! And thank you for explaining every step so clearly. I started with monitoring after our little exchange a few days ago. (Older artist, losing eyesight conversation). Still no good results, but really enjoying the process and the learning.
Love this combination. I am new to Lino printing. I would love to see your tips for creating such detailed designs.
Fantastic! I’m jazzed and my mind is blown!
Great to learn different techniques. I love it
Glad you enjoyed the techniques : )
You are such a master! It is always so inspiring to watch you. I want to learn to do it all!!!
So inspiring and easy to experiment for people without a press. I love it!
this is SOOOOOO beautiful!!! thanks for the inspiration❤
So looking forward to the next video. This was inspiring. Thank you🥂
The paper from the backing of the plastic and the bits of paper/plastic you cut away from the stencil are also useful for more masking and so on to build up layers, offsetting for different effects and so on.
As always, awesome stuff! Thank you for sharing your process. I love your work and your videos, all so inspirational!!
I love your fearless approach to creating and gelli experimentation! Though I have one question - do you plan your recording time around your dog's nap time? I think I've seen at least one other of your videos where he was making those little donkey noises in the background.
"little donkey noises" Perfect description! Made me chuckle.
I've been wanting to experiment with gel plate and lino together! This is lovely inspiration, and I learned a lot of new things! Thank you! 💕✨
I just posted a link to this video on my Facebook page. I hope your channel grows as I am an huge fan! You’ve encouraged me to explore more with my gel plate and with other methods of printing.
Your mad skills result in amazing prints! ❤ dead crows!
Yes please...intro to lino video! Thank you :)
Would also love it if you could demo lino cut! And big thank you for your brilliant and inspiring videos.
I've completely run out of steam, trying to find new ways to say how impressive I find your ability to inflect techniques in new directions. But this episode is quite nearly transformative. I don't recall off-hand whether you've used this collage technique with the image transfers before. I'd have to go back and review a number of videos to be sure. In any case, this surely must be the most extensive use you've made of the technique, and it's inspiring to see the nuanced ways you combine found textures and handmade marks of various sorts. (Aided, of course, by your seemingly infallible sense of composition and modulation of tonal variation and contrast.)
The masking and linocut portion is stunning, as well; and for several reasons, in my view. First, the plastic masking stuff. Great find! There are similar alternatives that may be cheaper, although preferred functionality will vary individually. In the US, there is a tacky shelf-liner called Contact Paper, usually patterned, but available in a very translucent, uncolored version. I believe there are both high-tack and low-tack versions. There's also Frisk Film, used in airbrushing, which is entirely transparent and comes in a couple different degrees of tack. And there's the kind of transfer tape used for vinyl cutters. All of these should be tested on scrap materials, before using for finished work. If the tack is too strong and removes paper fibers, it can be reduced by sticking the mask to a fuzzy T shirt, cloth kitchen or tea towel, or similar, and peeling off a couple of times.
Something you didn't show here is using the lino block directly on the gel plate, either positively or negatively. One of the great things about that technique is that it provides a way to make good use of one sort of mistake almost every relief printmaker makes, from time to time: Forgetting to flip the image horizontally, when carving. Because of the offset nature of the gel printing process, the image gets flipped twice (once in transfer to the plate; again on printing), so a mistakenly right-reading block will result in a right-reading final print.
Though you've done at least one unit on linocuts, previously, I would certainly like to see a new one specific to combining lino with gel printing. Creating a coherent body of work can be challenging for many of us, and the possibilities for creating related works using a consistent lino block element is a great idea! Another set of possibilities that occur to me, in this context, would be to use laser copies of a lino print to reduce, repeat, crop, and/or enlarge the linocut component, for further variation and iteration in a series.
A couple of technical notes: You briefly alluded to the distinction between edition and series. Also, you didn't mention why you were tracing from the back of your lino block, when outlining your mask. Since your channel is constantly growing, it might be useful to clarify such concepts for newer viewers. Additionally;, you several times referred to your baren as a brayer. That seems like a small thing, until a new printmaker tries shopping for one or the other. ; )
As usual, my vocabulary of superlatives fails to equal your ingenuity, as does my means to verbally express the degree of my gratitude in new ways. But I hope sincerity can compensate for lack of novelty: Thank you so much for sharing your prodigious creativity with us in such beautiful, concise, and inspiring ways!
As ever, loads to ponder on here. Thanks so much for your considered feedback. In regard to pressing lino stamps directly onto the gel plate, I've found they don't pick up the paint very cleanly and then you also have the issue of having to get the residual paint off quick before it clogs up the plate leading to cleaning that could damage the cut. Doing wax crayon rubbings off of the cut lino then using the rubbing as a transfer is a good compromise.
The plastic film is amazing to work with. It's so low tack that you can do a lot between transfer and peeling it up with no risk of it sticking or damaging paper fibres. The paper also has a useful grid pattern printed on it that you sometimes see on gift wrap, presumably to aid cutting accurately. Could be great if you were scaling a drawing directly onto it.
Cheers for noticing the fact I called a baren a brayer! Guess I should write a script rather than excitedly rambling over footage!!!!! Take care, : )
@@yeatesmakes Great point about paint possibly clogging lino plates. That also answers someone else's question about why you used oil-based inks. The rubbing idea is an excellent thought for a workaround. Thanks for those reminders!
Thank you Mark! So many great ideas. I think I may even have some book cover material on hand. Going go explore with these techniques today. 😊
Thank you for another excellent video. Interested to hear if you’ve stored the carved lino and reused it to print some time later. Also, does the acrylic paint need to be scrubbed or wiped off after each print? ❤
Pure magic, exactly what I’m looking for. Thanks
Brilliant, glad it was useful 😀
Thank you for sharing your techniques and ideas. I love your creativity and experimentation and encouragement. I would love to see some more work on basic linocuts, I haven't really done any since I was at school.
This one is amazing as usual! ❤ please make one of linocut 101 for total beginners please 😊
Thanks for your wonderful Videos. You made my Day da 😊😊😊
This is absolutely amazing work and totally the highest level. Thank you for sharing the process!🌹❤️
Wonderful. It just looks so so cool. I’d like to see how you make Lino cuts but honestly anything you want to share is good
A lovely message, thanks : )
Brilliant! Watching this inspired me. Would love to see an intro to lino cut video 😊
You are amazing! I’ve just started planning a series using Lino and gel plate together but didn’t know how to get going, I do now! Thank you!
Such an awesome video. I've been using a lot of your techniques, (not quite as successfully) and this is just a great way to take the printing up a notch or twelve.
Just discovered you and absolutely love your art and style of teaching. Would definitely love a video on lino cutting. Thank you.
Love to see a video on creating Linocut.
This is what I was looking for, thank you for the inspiration!
Thank you for inspiration. I would love to see how you make and prepare the lino stamps 🤗
So inspiring as always! This came at just the right time to forward my gel printing and finally inspired me to finally carve my own stamps. As always, thankyou so much for sharing.
Hi Mark, Love your videos. Great inspiration. I would love to see a lesson on Lino work.
Love it. Thanks for your videos.
A pleasure to share ; )
You've done it again Mark..another great video. Ive done qiute a bit of lino cutting but would love to see your process.
Hi Gina, glad the video was useful. I'll get a video on lino techniques done soon : )
You are very talented and very inspiring. I was obsessed with my plate for quite some time when it first became popular but then I sorta ran out of ideas and sometimes break it out for backgrounds but you have truly inspired me to try some of these techniques. Thanks!!!
Thank you so much for another great video. Do you prefer to use soft-cut lino rather than the hessian-backed variety?
If I'm using a lino stamp, as in the series in this video, I find soft cut easier to work with. If I'm doing a more traditional plate or colour reduction, then the battleship grey lino is what I'd go for as the range of marks you can get and the ease with which small cuts pull is a bit better: ) Thanks for the question, reminds me of what I need to mention if I do more vids on lino!!
