We all make mistakes, we're human. Here, I misplace the paper on the plate and proceed to rip the print going through the press.

This is inspiring, thank you! I saw a tree-ant type figure but the nude from back layering monotype turned out very nice!
Ok. thank you.
You seem to love what you do, never stop! #inspirational 🫡
Yes indeed
Hi. What's the bed of your etching press made of? I've seen beds made of some reinforces resin material and steel. The press I'm interested in buying has only 3mm steel plate as the bed - I'd prefer something thicker. Can wood also be used as the bed/ and or sandwiched underneath that steel plate? I'll also speak to the manufacturer to find out, but If you answer, I'll know what to expect when I talk to someone who 'knows more and won't hesitate to use it against me' ;p Regards, Greg
The bed is phenolic, a thermo-setting resin-based material. 1/2 inch thick. You could try a steel bed or wood, but this resin plate works very well.
This Is so precious! I didn't know about monotypes, its so misterious!! I wonder if its posible to make It with oil and turpentine but printed by hand, i know turpentine makes the oil dry faster so maybe the transfer would not be well if its not with the machine printer you have. What Is the diferente you find of using ink for engraving or oil? I apologize if you dont understand me, i only speak spanish. Thank you for shearing your art procesos.
The nude has a shine to it. So is the image we see here on plexiglass or on paper? And is the image produced in layers or just one?
This is the ink on plexi stage. One layer.
Just gorgeous.
Thank you
I saw a ghost or a genie or pippi longstocking even. He saw a naked woman. Sad
I dont get it. What is sad about diffent point of views? :)
Tom, Do you dampen the paper? Nice work. Like the way you developed a center of interestt and then a bit of red for a secondary place for the eye.
Yes, the paper must be dampened. Thank you. Watch some of my other videos, specifically the monotype Tutorial from 4/16/20
Very interesting and inspiring! Thank you for sharing your process and creativity.
Happy that it hits
hello, amazing print! What can we do if we dont have a press?
Lay your printmaking paper gently onto the plate, centered so you'll have an even margin of white space around the monotype. Lay one hand on the paper to hold it firmly in place on the plate, and with the other hand, begin rubbing the back of the paper with a spoon, or baren or some other pressure-inducing item. Practice! Good luck.
I wish you the best buddy hope i wasn’t too much
Also this is very nice, good stuff… I can’t do that
Why can't you?
@@batswbennett I mean at the moment, just appreciating your process
I appreciate seeing your process and hope you get at least a chance to get by on your talents if not prosper in time
I also try to understand your frustrations with “shorts” but your on a different level… maybe short sighted but shorts folks aren’t displaying artistry so their stuff can be edited short but your artistry deserves a watch in long format… different strokes of the thing for different folks I guess
I’d really like a list of things used . Is it only one print that you would get?
I'll make a video with specific materials used. I make one pint, but a "ghost" is what is left on the plate, that can be then manipulated with more medium to make a further print.
Must you use etching ink? Anything else ?
I use oil based inks and oil paint, almost exclusively currently, to achieve the results here; you can experiment with whatever mediums you choose, of course.
what are you thinning your ink with?
Turpentine. Folks who have an allergy to turps, of course, can try other solvents that break down oil based mediums. I experiment also with alternative paint thinners, like citrus-based and other green solvents. Turpenoid, of course is a standard option. I prefer actual gum turpentine, its effectiveness is unparalleled.
A post of the final print would be appreciated
I have posted the finish on Instagram, FB and other platforms.

Are you using a rolling pin to blot the paper? If so, any particular type or weight?
Yes I use a simple kitchen rolling pin, but you can use a larger, wider, metal or wood roller. I'm not a stickler for the rolling pin, some people are. If it's use to simply blot, I don't think you need to spend a lot of money on a rolling pin. Thank you for your question, and I'm always open to new suggestions for video tutorials.
Thank you so much for this clear explanation! I am just getting into print making with a craft press (I’ve done encaustic monotypes for years) and have been unsure of the 3 blankets and each ones use. Looking forward to binging on your videos!
Thank you! very happy to help. I'm also always open to suggestions on videos about the monotype process or printmaking in general.
I'm new to Monotype, Tom and I find your videos absorbing and inspiring - and by the way: I like the fact that you do not over-do the commentary - actions always speak louder than words.😁
Then I will keep this short and sweet. Thank you and keep making monotypes. 😀
Cool!!
loves this video very informative and as a fellow monotype printmaker it was really interesting. Thank you !!
Thanks for watching1
Beautiful. Inspiring & relaxed demo. Thank you! Hope you’re doing well, Tom.
That makes me happy, you are so welcome.
Also what is a grease pencil please
It's a wax drawing/writing tool, also known as a china marker, chinagraph pencil, or wax pencil.
Meat cutters/butchers/cheese mongers traditionally wrapped their product in a waxed “butcher” paper and then wrote on the paper the name/price, if that helps. They believe that European grocery stores/markets still wrap & mark meat/cheese this way 😊
A pleasure to watch you work! The image is engaging and full of mystery. Thanks for sharing your skills.
Thank you for watching and following!
Fantastic Tom. Have really enjoyed that. And thanks for showing us.
You're welcome, and thank you for watching!
Thank you for sharing your monotype process - always great to see another method and to listen to the artist as the print is being worked.
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent demo, thank you.
Thank you for watching!
That's awesome man thanks for sharing your talents/ knowledge 👍
Thank you!
Wonderful art. . .delightful sence of humor!
When the art fails I go to jokes!
Yes , i like that Sir ...figure looks spot on sits in there very well .
Thank you
Love the process and the result.
Thank you for watching
Thank you Sir Tom Bennett for sharing your magnificent equine monotype!
Well, I am not knighted but if that ever happens, it most likely will be by a local dog catcher. I appreciate your enthusiasm.
Great to see another wonderful artwork and video from you good Sir!
Hey, thanks. More to come
Thanks
You're welcome. What new video on monotype making would you like to see?
Thanks for the demo Tom. Of course this is a monotype!! Many printmakers do several layers for a monotype. If it is one unique image that cannot be repeated, then it is a monotype!!
This is so nostalgic and dramatic as well.
Thank you
Is this thinner??
Turpentine. Thinner can be used but it depends on the type; it acts differently with the inks.
Wish you'd post more video's Tom! Though very much appreciate when you do. Artwork turned out fantastic!
Thank you!
how is it that the plate image flipped midway through the video before it was printed?
Ah, you caught that. That was an error in filming, the orientation of the video wasn't adjusted properly.
@@batswbennett tx!
Thanks a bunch for the press information. And thanks for giving me a name for my next band...Swathen Cobb. Ha!
Swat 'n Cobb is also another version. Thanks for the feedback
Good stuff. Just starting gathering information on monotype printing. Your tutorial is a huge help, fun to watch and listen to, and creative as hell. Thanks so much. Love the final image.Please tell me the name and model of the printer you use
Very happy you like it. The press is a Blick Master Etch Model ll, an intermediate size with a 23 1/2" x 36" bed. Dive in and have a lot of fun. Its the greatest medium.
Dear Tom. Thank you for the informative video. I included a link to your video in my video’s description. My video is a series on how to build an etching press from scratch Here is a link to my video: th-cam.com/video/lS1YTUlXqzY/w-d-xo.html
Christof, thank you for the inclusion of my link on your video. Looking forward to watching your series
Hello from France. Thanks a lot for sharing. Great work.
Thank you!
Are you painting on with oil paint or etching ink?
Both. I use black etching ink for a large percentage of the process as well as red and yellow inks, and I bring in some other colors as oil paint.
If you could cover your pigment mixing and brush loading in the next video, it would be advantageous.Merci
Learned a lot from your demo and expertise on how to handle watercolor. "Watercolor is a challenging medium. It takes some bravery and no hesitation."
I'm grateful that you found it helpful, thank you. look out for my next video about this medium.
What kind of printing press is that Tom? What are the specs for the printing bed?
This is a Richeson/Blick etching press with a 20" x 36" bed
@@batswbennett Thank you. That is a nice size.
