This is so much more an interesting way of printing than the ‘traditional’ method, although that has its place too, of course. Laura explains things so well, and it’s rather like being in the studio with her.
I am in awe of the number of layers of colour you are able to use in your prints, especially the landscapes. Brilliant sfumato! Thank you for these videos. I will have to raise my game considerably.
really enjoyed this episode .I'm just starting to play with mixed colors and going to try a multiple lino sunset in florida with palm trees. i'm a little nervous about doing , so I've been watching all you episodes thank your so much for sharing , this one was perfect for what I want to attempt
Thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. Do you use your oil based inks in the same way and if so, again, would you not print wet in wet at any time with the oil inks but give each layer a time to "set"? When you are doing these prints "monoprint fashion" are they all similar? The reason I ask is that is if the prints are very similar, each layer of ink would come from the same inks on the slab, even if mixed slightly differently as you print each layer on the "series". If you were changing the colours to create a different mood in the print would you still do it step by step, layer by layer, as a series of similar prints? Does that make sense???? For example, say if the sky in a print was going to be a golden glow in one but a warm peachy colour in another would you ink each layer for the series together one after another or would you ink the individual prints entirely separately. It is difficult to ask this question and make sense without having a conversation about it to get the to and fro of a discussion. Sorry if it isn't understandable.
Hi yes I do use this technique with oil based inks and would always try to let layers dry between innings - you get a crisper print that way. I wouldn’t do colour variations and often have a painterly approach even in an edition. I would only use different colour ways in a series - see my Applecross series for an example in my gallery at www.lauraboswell.co.uk. We can have a chat about this on livestream this Friday if you are around
This one is definitely lower voice volume than the others in this series (and the recorded livestreams) so far. I can hear the squeaky roller but have trouble hearing her voice at times. (I do appreciate the CC, but the captioning does not pick up the lower-volume moments either.)

Many thanks!
Thank you Laura, as always you are so generous with your knowledge.
Very exciting method and a beautiful result. Thank you for the detailed presentation and very clear explanation. Inspiring!

Very interesting. I did my 2nd lot of 2. In meantime i reduced 2 clouds, and changed the colour of the sky
First time I watched your channel. Lovely approach. What is that contraption you are using to align the layers perfectly?
Sooooo helpful ❤️

I think it would be interesting to see a “how to clean up” video
I loved this episode Laura. Are the water based inks light fast?
That really depends on the brand you use
Wonderful videos. Last two or so have been hard to hear even at top video and top speaker volume. Anyone else?
yes for me also. I put ear phones on ,then i can hear laura much better
Do remember we have added subtitles if you need them - sorry you’ve had a problem
Sound was just fine for me...
Laura's videos are generally quite quiet, I find.

I have so much trouble hearing you…is your microphone far away?
