your channel is such a treasure!! your videos are so well constructed and clear and your voice in your voiceover is fantastic. And I love the music especially in this video. It feels like I'm a kid watching PBS art programs in the 90s and 2000s.
If you draw diagonal lines from corner to corner of your paper you can align your Lino block exactly in the middle of your paper by placing each of the four corners of the block on top of the diagonal lines.
Love your work! I'd love to know more about the basics of how to use more than one colour in a lino cut, do you have a video of that in your collection?
You need to order them from the Ternes Burton website! They are only sold by the company that makes them, and some art supply stores :) Their website is www.ternesburton.com
Glad you found it helpful!! I am using water based inks here but often use oil based inks too! I mix my oil based inks with an extender, around a 1:1 ratio, which helps them dry faster. But typically it can take months for oil based inks to dry, which is completely normal but also a huge pain in the butt haha
How do you avoid getting ink onto the large non-printing areas, such as her neck in the face block? And what do you do if you do get ink there? It seems as if there is a large rush of accidentally getting in on the final print in areas where you didn't want it to be.
This is a great question and one I'll have to demonsrate in another video! It depends on a few things - the large carved away areas can sometimes pick up ink when you roll it onto the carving...sometimes this is fixed by simply carving a bit more of that area away to remove raised bits. Sometimes it's as easy as just using a different brayer (a larger one that won't accidentally dip down into those large areas). Sometimes printmakers will make a paper template that they place over the inked carving to block areas that pick up ink that they are trying to keep clean, and they place it down every time they print between the block and their paper. Sometimes some printmakers take a rag and wipe these areas between each inking and pressing!
I love your art so much. And your willingness to share what you know is truly appreciated.
Thanks so much!!

This was really helpful thank you. Are you using oil ink or block ink? When I double up with oil it's not drying?

Can we print one pass gray/dark blue, add colors with paint markers or other, then last pass with the black?🙏
Hey! Responded to your other comment on my other video! Hope it helps :)
