So happy to help you by providing this inspiration, Susan! Thanks for watching!

Thank you very much for watching!

Thanks, Doug. It's an easy homemade system that works for me! ;-)

Thanks, Diana! It's a homemade system I created to help with registration. Now days, there are wonderful Ternes Burton registration pins available that do a similar job, which is great!

@@LindaCoteStudio Thank you for your answer! now I know about Ternes Burton as well. I studied printmaking but I focused on other techniques more and there are so many things I still don't know about. I always wondered how one gets to print so many layers with such precision. It's inspiring to see other artist's spaces and process.

Thanks -- this was super-fun to carve!

Thanks so much, John! One of my favorite views here!

Thanks so much for watching, Susan!

Kai Lin, you are the reason I do these videos! Makes me happy to inspire others! 😉

Thanks, Chris! A beautiful walk I am sure you've been on, too!

Thank you so much!

Thanks you so much Elfy!

Thanks for your lovely comment, Therese! Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks so much, Jo!

Thank you so much, Terry. I hear you on the raising kids and making a living thing - I am right there, too, at the moment! I love hearing your experience about how creating art every day has changed your practice, and I am thrilled to hear that my videos and sharing my process have helped to inspire others, as well. I hope to get back to sharing more videos in the future, so thanks for your words of encouragement while I am having a slight change in focus. Happy creating, and I appreciate you taking the time to comment!

Thank you so much, John!

😁🖐

Thank you! I also painted for many years, and miss that a bit LOL. I do love printmaking, though, for all the ways you can create!

Thank you Shaimaa!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks very much, Rebecca! It's my pleasure to share my process!

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much, Shannon!

Thanks so much for watching, Wendy!

Thanks, Emily!

Thanks so much for watching! The registration system works very well! :-)

That is gold! So right!!

Thanks very much, Avion!

Nick, that is so cool! It's a nice walk about through the trees with lovely views of the nearby mountains. I'm sure your Fenland views are just as beautiful!

You are so welcome!

Aw, thanks so much!

Hi Linda, thanks for watching! I am using a Speedball carving tool for printmaking, and the blades are replaced once they start to dull (the handle unscrews and they pop out). I find they will carve many blocks without losing their sharpness, but new blades are just a couple dollars, so they are cheap and not worth the challenge of self sharpening! (I have wood carving tools I sharpen myself and it is a PROCESS!) The paper I used for this linocut print is one I LOVE called Printmaster paper, an acid-free paper by Speedball. Unfortunately, in the last year or two I have found it very hard to find in the "bright white" like this - it's available in some art stores and online but it now comes in more of a cream colour. I am not sure why Speedball made the change as I love a really white paper. Here's a link on Amazon to it: www.amazon.ca/Speedball-Printmaster-Paper-Block-Printing/dp/B000BYVMHU. So, I'm not sure where it can be found...even contacting Speedball doesn't seem to help! I have found, though, that other brands of paper labeled "printmaking paper" are similar -- or even mulberry papers can work well, as well. Hope this helps!

Hi Lee, I don't mind sharing at all. Scroll down on this video to the comment (and my replies) to Nicola Wardle below where I share what I used with her! Cheers, Linda

Hi Robyn, thanks for your comment! The board is homemade from pieces I had in the studio. Cheap to make, but works well!

Anna, I am so sorry for having missed this comment somehow! It showed up for me today but I see you posted it a while back! The press that goes over the paper is called a baren and they come in a variety of types from plastic (this one is from Speedball), to wood, glass and more. This one is one of the least expensive, and can be found in most any art stores or online stores that carry printmaking supplies! Happy printmaking - hopefully it's going well for you!

:-) So, for the 2nd layer, I wanted to keep the integrity of the block above the mountains for the dark trees, so carved the block for what was needed for the dark grey, then hand-cut a stencil for the outline of the mountains. I laid a stencil between the block and the paper to create that outline. Thanks for watching!

Thanks!!!

Thanks, Jennifer. I always print with my linocuts on dry paper because I am not using a press at all, but rubbing the block/paper with a hand baren. Are you using a press?

I use different pieces depending on what I am creating: traditional lino and the newer soft linoleum. This piece was created with the soft linoleum because I printed it by hand without a press. You can see more on the block materials I use on the video here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bL-XbJt_y9DPkZc.html

Thanks for your reply! What you do is an inspiration and the info is so helpful.

Hi Barbara - I have not been posting many KZfaq videos as they take a lot of time to create, but you can find me over on Instagram @MountainArtGirl where I still sharing my creations and process. Keep up with my new art there!

Hi Nicola, I use all kinds of different papers in my printmaking practice, but for this project I wanted one that was quite white, acid-free and takes multiple layers of ink well. For this, I used Speedball Printmaster paper, weight 85 gsm. Here's a link to it online for more information: www.dickblick.com/products/speedball-printmaster-paper-pads-for-block-printing/

Thanks that's very useful.

You bet!

I'm glad you enjoy these videos! Creating videos - and keeping up on many social channels - takes quite a bit of time, and all of it comes out of an artist's creative time. Between filming, planning the storyboard and editing, a video like this can take many hours to create to the final version. So, for now, I have opted to simply focus on one channel to give myself more time to create my art. I am still creating new linocut and mixed media art ... you can find lots of current posts, videos and new artwork if you are on Instagram where I share my work as @mountainartgirl. Or search Instagram for Linda Cote Studio and you will likely find me that way, too! Thanks for reaching out!
