What a creative idea! What press are you using?
@@kstutz230 thanks. It's a bookbinding press. Where you turn the handle at the top and a plate presses down on your print. You can do it by hand like lino printing if you want or in one of those zilla presses. I had an edition of 25 to print so didn't want to do them all by hand.
I have never thought to ask how to use this kind of brush while I was in school and now I regret not asking sooner.
@@R4V3-0N it's not something I was ever taught either. I think it's either assumed that you know or you'll just know. 🙄 Sometimes it's just useful to see how it works.
I wish we had learned that during art class back in school.. Just watched the whole series loved it.
@@elne5657 fantastic. So glad it's been useful. I'm just trying to decide what to do next. 🤔 I think sometimes it's good to recap those foundation skills and knowledge.
Just wanted to say, this is a super informative series of videos! Really helps you figure out shapes and pressure and control with different types of brushes! Thanks!
@@dewi3300 oh fantastic! I'm so glad it's helpful. I'm trying to decide what medium or tools to do for the next mini series.
I could listen to your voice for hours! It reminds me of my Aunt Rebecca from Stratford on Avon.
@@Loki-and-Thor oh you're lovely. I don't like listening to myself, so that's super sweet of you. I used to live about 10 miles out from Birmingham. Stratford is a much posher accent than mine! 😉
So amazing!!! I love making lino cuts, haven't done one for a few months now, this'll give me the motivation to pick up my ideas again 🥰
Thanks so much. Yes, do get creating. I'd love to see what you produce! 🙂
Awesome use of color 💖
@@sorayuu8134 thanks. This was so much fun to do.
Beautiful 💖
@@sorayuu8134 thanks. The video quality isn't great, sorry. Do check out my channel as I have lots of video lessons.
@@artwithtricia that's okay! I can still see the line work and everything of this piece 🥰 I definitely will be combing through your videos, thank you for sharing your work processes! ❤️
These are beautiful!!! It's so cool watching the way you bring form to those lemons, very cool and the energy from the color+movement of the lines is amazing 🍋💖
Thanks so much. It was good practise for my new mini course. It's so much fun working with mixed media. No rules, just go for it! 😉
Oh your accent is beautiful
You are so sweet! I don't like listening back to myself on the videos! 🙂
Thank you for this video! I am starting to think about cutting my own mounts. I would like to be able to repurpose old picture frames and charity shop finds. I have learned a lot from your video and now feel more confident to get started! 😊 I have had a look on Lions website. Can I ask why you selected this particular model please?
@@user-hy7vw4re4s I'm glad the video was useful. I chose this model because I wanted to buy a proper mount cutter, instead of the little tool and ruler. I had a certain budget that I had saved and I went for the largest I could get at my budget. But to be honest, the large size is good for cutting the board down initially, but a pain the rest of the time as I never really cut massive mounts. As you can see in the video a lot of the cutter isn't used. I also don't have space to leave it out. So I end up with a list of mounts I need to cut, then do a big job lot in one day, then it all gets packed away. The model I have is the 450-1, but there is a slightly smaller one below that. I think I would check it could still cut a sheet of mount board (at least width ways) and then buy that size. It depends how much space you have and if you've got a table/surface you can put it on. I've tried to do this on the floor and that doesn't work for me. I need it on a table. Good luck with your mount cutting and get back to me if you have more questions. 🙂
@@artwithtricia Thank you, that's really helpful :)
Never seen a brush like this. Very neat :)
@@lionelheisler4887 yes they can be useful. I've seen artists take a flat square brush and cut down into it to create a comb brush. Not sure I've got a steady enough hand for that!
@@artwithtricia my thought is maybe it could be done with a pair of thinning shears? 🤔 Personally I might see if I have a square brush to sacrifice for science lol!
@@lionelheisler4887 why not. You can just cut down into the bristles. The one I have is obviously done by machine as it has clear squared off sections cut out of it. There is another brand that has the outer edges cut away and then the inner core of bristles is a comb shape. If that makes sense. But I guess all you need is that thin wispy sections at the tips. Good luck! Let me know how it goes.
Lovely. What type of paper are you using to transfer your drawing onto the block?
@@beccarebecca7841 thanks. I either sketch out on paper and then just scribble on the back of the paper and transfer to block (this essdee white blocks are so easy to trace down on to). But on to a regular 'grey' lino' I use carbon paper. The best is a Japanese carbon paper which is red. Hope that helps.
Great job
@@sandyhairston3943 thanks. It was lots of fun and took about half an hour.
Wonderful idea imma try this
@@nikudawillowfrost yes do, let me know how it goes. I have a chatroom on my website where you can post your artwork if you're interested. www.artwithtricia.com
Check out my previous Friday Mark-making. Round brush and square brush!
Wow, your video is incredible! 🌟
Glad you enjoyed it. Another one coming out in a few days.
Amazing work! 🌟
Thanks. So much fun playing with these tubes of watercolour paint💫
Thanks. So much fun playing with these tubes of watercolour paint. ✨
that's really cool
Thanks 🙌🙌🙌
It's for sale on my website www.artwithtricia.com/product-page/princess-and-the-pea
I had great fun a few weeks ago demonstrating this painting and teaching my Drawing and Painting students about Gouache. Visit my website www.artwithtricia.com to see up coming courses and take a look at students artwork.
Less dialogue more ......
Thanks. You can mute and just watch if you prefer. 😉
That's a brilliant video Tricia. I feel the need to loosen up with my work and this is an excellent way to have a go. In reality how long did it take you to do the mini landscapes?
Thanks for this. I have a few videos like this with loose sketchy landscapes. I even have some very loose 'watery landscapes' which are all about letting the watercolour flow across the paper. This set probably took about 30-40 minutes to tape up, draw in, dry and add washes. There is a full (real time) video here th-cam.com/video/LjVU2eIHF0w/w-d-xo.htmlsi=K9_pSbcWpPlR7TUe Good luck with your artwork!
wow. i’m doing art gcse and doing lino as a part of it and it’s kicking my ass ngl☠️
So sorry I missed your comment. I hope your GCSE art went well. Is this your final year? If not let me know if I can offer any advice. 🤞Hope you cracked it! 😁
Wow! These look great. Can't wait to see how well they work! 😯
Me too!
Very useful! I am a craft procratinator. My pens dry out, and paints as well.
Oh great, glad this was useful. I don't have any tips for dried out pens though...... except get on and use them😉
I could never do this tricia your so clever
Thanks. Of course you could! It's just lots of practice 😊
This helped soo much! I had to finish it for school and sign it😅 i did it like 20 minutes before school starts so thank you!
Where did you get all of the supplies to make the print, not the ink, but like the scraping tools and the platform
I buy a lot of equipment from a shop called handprinted in the UK, I also use Jacksons art and Intaglio printmakers. The printing press is a 'craft cutter' press caller Xcut Xpress. wishing you lots of success in you printing learning journey.
Thank you
My pleasure 😊
This is amazing! I cannot believe this is the first time I've come across this process. I have a mixed media painting I've been thinking about and I've wanted to do cut out paper sandhill cranes. This will be perfect!

Those are SO COOOLLL!!!!!

What how, i try this but the ink is not full( how minutes)
Hi, I'm not sure what your question is. Make sure you fully ink the lino block and it is a good even coverage. If you have large areas of ink you may find them hard to get a good print. Make sure your paper is not too thick because this can make printing tricky. Take your time burnishing (rubbing) if you don't have a printing press. Lift one corner and check. If the paper doesn't stick to the lino block a little bit it may be that you are not applying enough ink to start with. Good luck 🤞
Why choices of 45 degrees and 90 degrees please Tricia ? I couldn't see what was lining up with what, so a classroom in-person demo would be better for me. I'm unlikely to invest in something so large so sadly stuck with the low-tech option - a craft knife! Otherwise, a step by step demo of the little manual one you found would have been valuable (does it cut on that neat angle you spoke of?). Mounts come with different colored innards - how interesting! Thanks
Yes the little cutter cuts at a 45 degree angle. You can buy mountboard with different coloured inner core. So you may have a blackmount but white or cream inner. I guess a 45 degree angle, not only shows the inner core, but is also a softer step down between mount and artwork. If you had a double mount you could have a black mount then a white line of the inner core and then a black mount then a white line and then your artwork. It's a good way to make your mount look 'jazzy'! 😉
Really helpful video! Thank you so much, I've been wondering how to do this for ages.
So glad it was useful 🤗
What kind of Lino did you use? Lovely work!
I use traditional grey hessian backed lino. But I have other videos with mastercut (great for stamps), softcut, easycarve etc. I find the plastic/vinyl types a bit too soft for my liking so prefer the grey lino best.
@@artwithtricia thank you for the quick reply, I have one last question, what’s the easiest way to keep your blades sharp? I’m hearing about using a wetstone or even a diamond plate but there no way I would be able to get that.
@@catlin3949 buy a slipstrop. It's a wooden block with suede on it and you use it to keep the blade sharp. It doesn't sharpen blunt tools, but if you use it every 30 minutes or after/before each carving session it will keep the 'edge' on your tools. I have some whet stones and if you're not sure what you're doing you can ruin your tools. If you have expensive tools use the slipstrop and then when you feel they are snagging when you carve send them to Lawrence in Hove. They resharpen carving tools and it only costs about £5 each. Much cheaper than messing around yourself! Hope that helps.
@@artwithtricia thank you so much, super helpful!!
this wonderfully loose watercolor and ink playlist is so inspiring! so many ideas and mediums and techniques to try. thanks again!
these are wonderful. i really like the added pencil marks. is that granulation medium you're applying with the eye dropper? thank you!
I'm just dropping water on, but I think I'm using some Daniel Smith granulating watercolour. I don't tend to wash my palettes off (unless I have a specific piece of work to do) so I picked up premixed colours from previous works! So that may be why it looks like it's granulating. You can create fantastic granulation with regular watercolour and acrylic inks. The ink clumps and splits in the water. Give it a try.
Extremely shaky camera but so beautiful!!!
Yes the print is extremely popular. I have a few artist proofs left on my website and I've recently had some badges made with the image. Check them out at www.artwithtricia.com
love it! your home-made pen lasts a long time before you need to dip it again. i'm going to look for the video where you show how you make them. :)
absolutely enchanting. i have most of the items you used (dip pens, watercolor.... even Indigo FW acrylic ink :) and really look forward to trying something similar. i really appreciate how you were able to work so loosely while on such a very small scale. Inspiring! thank you
Thanks I'd love to see what you create. I have a chatroom on my website where my students share their work. www.artwithtricia.com/student-chatroom
The moment you said "I'm using a dip pen that I made," I subscribed!
Ha ha, fantastic. I'm just about to edit a video to show you how I made the metal dip pen.
Thanks for the ideas and inspirations on your videos and i even found myself shazamming the music you're playing in the background!😂 Id love to have a studio shack where you can disappear inside and just create whatever you feel like, very liberating 😊 im a new sub to your channel 👍
My art studio....is my conservatory. Which is a bit cold at the moment! 🥶 But I'm lucky to have a space where I can spread out and leave projects out. I hope you enjoy my other videos.
Fantastic video, thank you for sharing your experience. I love finding old frames at charity shops and collecting prints etc on my travels and ive wonderd about the mounting equipment to make the pictures look lovely and professional in the frame❤
looks great but why the mess of ink at the start? Dif you mix a colour?
so nice! Let me know please what kind of press have you used?
It's and Xcut Xpress, but these aren't for sale any more. Try the Sizzix big shot or the big shot pro.
Magnifico!
👍 thanks
