    You ate SUCH a fabulous inspiration and teacher. I actually think I can pull this off 🤣 You are teaching me way more than my college print class 😳 It’s a think I get a senior discount! 😅All I do there is print with their big presses. The instructor is really a sculptor and quite a fabulous one and I’m thankful he’s keeping the class open but we only learn the very basics term after term.

    I used to be a printmaker and am so grateful to find your videos! I'm tempted to get some cardboard and finally take my copper plates to the scap metal place...keep up the good work... that is a GORGEOUS, luscious print, and you should be very proud.

      Thank you Anna, that is so nice to hear. As much as I love etching, collagraph is a bit less toxic and actually more interesting I think. I hope you have a go and come back to your printing passion

    That is gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing. I have just started experimenting with the mag mix and golden open acrylics which i just learned can be used together for printmaking. Great way to experiment while waiting for my printing ink colours to arrive.

    Hi Martha, love your videos and learning from you about collagraph and viscosity printing. Thanks so much. This print really works. Fabulous.
    You can get magnesium carbonate powder (fine grade) which is the traditional printmakers modifier and easier to mix into ink (I think) than the Akua magmix. And cheaper I'm sure.
    Must admit to roller envy!

    Oh - you're using magnesium carbonate paste to thicken intaglio oil paint. Sorry, I got confused: I bought a little brown bottle of akua acrylic paint thickening agent and it was enormously expensive and I swore to myself that I'd find a cheaper alternatiive. But as a more economic alternative to the akua mag powder, I just got a box of magnesium carbonate that... boxers and gymnasts use! Recently in a film on lithography I noticed that they said they used... talcum powder!

    Beautiful print! Where do you get enviroboard? I’ve tried mag mix but prefer calcium carbonate powder which is cheaper and I think easier to mix into the ink. So the principle of viscosity printing is the loose ink goes down first and the stiffer ink goes on top? I’ve found this concept hard to get my head around! Thanks for your videos; they’re great!

    Really beautiful print... I'm still looking for the secret ingredient that will make my acrylic paints stickier and thicker. I use so much paint that I can't afford to buy akua agents which is enormously expensive and I'd only waste... next experiment I'm mixing standard gel medium with various amounts of woodglue and talcum powder... Wood glue mixed with acrylic paints directly makes it thicker and heavier and it pools around the edges of the embossing folder. But my experiments continue. I mean, I might eventually find an economic alternative eventually! I also wanted to ask you: the fabric that you feed through the etching press: what is it? It appears white and because it's shiny I can't see it very well because of a problem with my eyes. Everything that is white glows. I just wanted to know if it was cotton, felt, leather or chamois fabric. I want to make something like that for my press which I can mark.

      In quite a few of my previous videos I show how to shellac the plates. I normally brush over both sides and prefer to use Jackson’s art shellac as it allows for more detail to show through. I use enviroboard as a preferred plate. Thank you for watching 😁

    Are you using aqua washable inks, then? I can’t tell, and appreciate knowing products used, esp loved seeing Snowden paper used. Was curious, tho: I heard the reason printers use burnt plate oil ( at least for traditional oil based inks) is because it wont rot cotton rag? Thanks so much for sharing your experiences!

    • @CollagraphPrinting
      @CollagraphPrinting  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Kat, I use oil based inks, intaglio printmakers. I am not sure about the rag rot, but I use linseed oil to loosen the ink so that it repels the next layer of link which hasn’t been diluted.
