Thank you for sharing your knowledge... I'm looking forward to experimenting. Xx

Happy Christmas everyone and thank you Ruth I love your videos full of inspiration.

This post was so calming to me in this dry desert I’m in at the moment. It’s happened before , you have to let it be and try and ‘infill’ with nature , places , or mindless ‘faffing’ about . . . And that’s okay !

hell yeah

Dear Ruth, since I've discovered your channel, I can't stop printing. Thank you for your great work and your calm way of explaining it! Greetings from Austria ❤

Love the free form technique. Lovely results. ❤

Beautiful work and excellent suggestions for enhancing the prints. Thank you for sharing.

I have Nori paste but it is very thick. Do you add water or something else to be able to squeeze it out like you have in this video? Love your style.

I love your style of printmaking and can’t wait for your course next spring - will definitely be signing up! Do you have any plans to show your printmaking from start to finish - as in how you create your photopolymer plate, ink it up & thru the etching press, then bring it back to your home studio to finish out? I’ve used solar plates for photogravure and recently took a photopolymer plate making class - we created a printed image but I love your abstract style and would like to know how to create abstract on the polymer plate! If I can ever get to the UK from Texas taking a workshop with you is HIGH on my bucket list. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, skill and art, always look forward to your videos 😊

Thanks so much for sharing this video. These tips are so helpful.

Hi Ruth. Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Do you think it's possible to use oil paints called Artisan Water by Winsor & Newton? They offer much bigger choice of colors compared to anything explicitly marketed for printmaking, at least where I live.

I find your videos very helpful. What's the surface you're painting on?

I’m inspired. I’m an oil ink printmaker. And have tissue paper. ❤

Excellent information! I assume the oils must be quite thin for this technique?

Thanks for sharing Ruth. I’m intrigued by your use of oil paint on tissue. My main focus of learning is oil painting but I don’t want to ever limit myself so this is a wonderful option.

I have not heard this song in YEARS!!!😂😂😂😂 Thank you.

Thank you, Ruth. This is so helpful and I really needed this information.

Thank you Ruth for sharing your knowledge !🪷

Thank you for sharing !

Thankyou..really helpful and love your work!

I've just found your channel - I'm really enjoying your videos. Thanks for sharing your process here. Do you frame the work in a box frame? Or how did you prepare this one for hanging? Thank you.

Thank you Ruth , great information!

Great information and well presented! Thank you!

Thank you so much for sharing your way to get out of a "low" or block. I think we too often have the impression we have to be productive all days to show that we're working seriously. But the times of rest and relaxing and observing are so important. And we mustn't allow ourselves to be pressured by others or our beliefs. At the beginning of November I complained a bit that I didn't do anything worthwhile (for my art) but as soon as I let this time be, I felt how the inspiration came back and I started creating again. Have a nice week!

Many thanks for video.

Intrigued by your box of colour scraps as the basis of spontaneous compositions....love this idea!!

Why do you use oil paint instead of ink?

Sooo helpful!

What do you do with your leftover paint on the pallet, after you are finished printing?

Incredible! Nice one, will give it a go.

So much FUN!❤❤❤❤ THANK YOU

I’m trying not to buy any art supplies for a bit but every time i see your videos i’m so drawn to the way the prints look, they have so much character! I’m guessing the specialist inks would be relatively pricey, is it worth trying this with some cheap oil paint or would i be wasting my time and making a horrible mess do you think?! I’m also working in a domestic space (and i’m clumsy!)…

This is a fantastic technique. Definitely going to try this weekend. Thanks for sharing. 😍

Beautiful prints, Ruth! I have a stack of washed and ready Tetrapaks for whenever inspiration strikes. It's one of my favourite ways to make printing plates.

this is so cool! i just fished a tetra pack (tomato soup) and a milk carton out of the trash, and flattened them out. i will definitely be trying this process! love all your prints, as i always do. thanks so much for an idea we can do at home, without a printing press. very exciting!

love it, very inspirational!

Hello, is it at all possible to use acrylic paints instead of ink? Thank you for your channel.❤

❤❤❤

This is really helpful. It looks very lumpy coming out of the blender. When you put the paste on the paper, does it still remain lumpy?

Nice thank you. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Can you tell me where you buy your archival tissue paper from? Thanks.

Great tip, I'll be giving it a go, thanks Ruth.

Beautiful work, and so inspiring! You have me eyeing up every flat, etchable surface in my house 😂. Thanks, Ruth!

thanks for the inspiration!

Great video, beautiful work! Thank you!

Can you handprint drypoint plates and is that your usual method or always with a press?

Great ideas! I’m a painter but found your tips useful for my processes as well, especially the wallpaper brush - immediate use! Thanks!

Thanking you! 😀

Lovely work Ruth, cool choice of music. Do you ever listen to 9128 live online radio? It's a mix of ambient/field recordings/soundscapes, & techno!

Inspiring as ever, Ruth! Thank you! :)
