I love all your hints and tip videos Marta, my only negative comment is certainly not about your videos which are just geat, but your reference to Amazon. All the items you are getting fom Amazon can be got from independent art suppliers direct or through ebay. Whilst Amazon are very good for customers it cannot be said the same for it's employees.
@@chrisriddles9460 thank you for watching and you are welcome for all the tips 🤗
Thank you for this video and the experimentation. I am inspired to try collagraph.
@@davidschnetzer2188 you are welcome. Enjoy 🙌
Thank you very much 👏❤🙏
You’re welcome 🤗
Exitingly expressive lines !!!!
Brilliant exercise you have introduced me to so much more to experiment with… thank you ☺️
That’s great, glad to hear it, thank you 🤗
Really interesting line creation! Amazing what you can make with simple materials!
I’m sure there’s more! I just thought of using Matt medium which would give a darker tone line. Also a screen printing filler. 😅
Happy printing 🙌
Love your creativity and your artistic gift. Thank you so much for sharing, your videos inspire me to just experiment.🥰
Thank you so much and really glad you feel inspired 🤗
Thankyou Marta - your work is beautiful! ❤
Thank you so much, you made my day 🤗
It is interesting to see different line effects. I will be using some of the ideas you mentioned. I would like to correct you though. On the gesso you transferred the dry and wet lines. The wider printed line was made while the gesso was wet. Please accept this comment as a friendly remark and please keep posting videos. I do like your work.
Thank you so much for watching and corrections are always welcome 🤗
Thanks for doing this kind of testing and sharing with the rest of us! When I get back to collagraph work I will definitely try introducing some of this. I’m always after ways to introduce new and different line work, other than just drawing on the piece after it’s dry. That feels a little like cheating to me!
You are welcome, I’m all for cheating though 🙈
Interesting! Another thing to try is dimensional fabric paint that comes in small tubes with small tips. Similar to the acrylic paint lines, I reckon,
Thank you, it’s always helpful when you get it in small tip tube already!
Great demonstration, I can’t thank you enough… What is scrim, and where can I purchase some please? And also the micacous iron oxide. Thank you!!
Hi there, thank you so much and really glad you enjoyed the video. Scrim is a fabric used for wiping in printmaking and micaceous iron oxide is a paint by Golden. Paint can be bought in any store that sells Golden products or online and scrim can be bought by any store that sells printmaking products. I could give you lots of examples of stores in UK but I’m guessing you are not in UK?
@@CollagraphPrinting thanks much!
Did you thin the tar gel? How did you get yours in the squeeze bottle? Thanks! 😊
Hi there! No I didn’t. I just poured it in from the tube. Maybe mine is a bit more runny than yours?
What type syringe did you use? And where did you get it?
It’s a craft syringe. It actually came as part of a set of bottles with tips I bought on Amazon. AIEX 21pcs Needle Tip Bottle Set,... www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09YYKP83P?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
The lines in the gel medium were the other way round - weren't they? 🤔 🙂
Not sure what you mean by that, can you tell me more? 🤗
