    • @nicoleirwood
      @nicoleirwood 12 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Thanks so much! To be honest, I am not the best at taking care of my tools. Some people hone their tools very often as they carve - I try to remember before I start carving at least. Real sharpening is something I would have someone else do for me (with a stone) - I'm yet to do this in five years, but may have to eventually to get the edge keen again.

    Hi, thank you for your help and inspiration. Please can you say why you soaked the paper before printing on it? Did it go into the press wet? I’m going to experiment myself, having found a pasta maker in a charity shop in the UK this week 😃 Really love your gothic style. Many thanks Teresa

    • @nicoleirwood
      @nicoleirwood 16 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Thanks so much, glad it's helpful! You do need to soak the paper for this kind of printing to make it pliable enough. Different kinds of paper will need a different level of water (handmade paper might just need a spray, water colour weight paper a full soak). The water needs to be absorbed off the printing surface though. All the best with your experiments! 😊

    Thank you so much. Tried my first reduction print this week, but I’ll be better next time thanks to you and your advice. Can you tell me how deep you carve? Do you ever flood fine lines and loose detail, and what do you do if that happens? Also, (sorry for all the questions) the EC46 Lyons graver, can you clear very small areas with it if you use the corner of the tool blade? Thank you again for your videos.

    • @nicoleirwood
      @nicoleirwood 23 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I'm glad it was helpful! Depth depends on the how big the space is - for a large clear area you take it right down (you'll notice I still needed to mask in the black layer after inking) - for small areas less so. Flooding fine details happens when you over ink - once this happens within a printing session it's hard to fix. Make sure you are rolling your ink out until it has a sticky hiss noise and apply in thin layers. You could probably use the corner of the graver but I would be more likely to use a u tool or a smaller graver (I have a smaller one that I would use for small square-ish shapes).

    • @hannahlawrence2386
      @hannahlawrence2386 21 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Thank you for the answers. Yes, my ink behaves very differently depending on the air temperature when I’m printing, and because I do very small prints with lots of detail, flooding does occur. I think I need to be more patient with thinner layers of ink on the block.

  • @simonb7243
    @simonb7243 23 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Lovely job! I was wondering how long you let the prints dry between 2 inks? Since these are water-washable inks (I personally use charbonnel aquawash), if you rewet them too soon to make the next layer, the ink may tend to dissolve on certain details. I was also wondering, I see that you let your final prints dry on a thread, doesn't the sheet end up curled as it dries? Thanks in advance for answering these questions

    • @nicoleirwood
      @nicoleirwood 23 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I wait several days or a week usually. I have never had details dissolved, but the next layer doesn't sit well unless dry. The paper warps a little due to being wet, although it's heavy enough not to curl, but a light mist and a press under something heavy flattens things out.

    Thank you again for your video, and seeing you adjust the sketch when transferring it to the block was really useful. Please could I ask a couple of questions? What brand of fixing spray do you use? Can you roll water based ink over the fixing spray surface or do you have to remove the fixing spray before printing? Lastly, can you tell me in which order of colour you printed the block? I have only done mono coloured prints and would love to try a reduction print but I know I will struggle to work out the order of which sections to carve.

    • @nicoleirwood
      @nicoleirwood หลายเดือนก่อน

      I'm glad it was helpful! - a cheap generic fixing spray, not sure which brand off the top of my head - I don't use water based ink but I suspect it would be fine. Perhaps do a test? You can also clean the block (which you do throughout reduction anyway). - great question! I hope to cover this in the next video in this series. But the general rule is light to dark. I will print grey/green, pink (there is less of this and I can control where it goes on the block, also the vibrancy of pink will upset the green more), then black. So some variations arise around colour vibrancy and amount of the colour to be applied. I would keep it simple to start with some version of monochrome.
