El tip de la hoja albanene me sorprendió ,creo que es una muy buena idea para pasar nuestro diseño al linóleo sin complicarnos la existencia (Es un hack que emplearé desde ahora). Me encantó el diseño que realizó, es muy lindo y complejo en el sentido de la textura que le da al fondo y a los pétalos de las rosas. Juega muy bien con la técnica de hueco grabado y textura. Este video me será de ayuda para las próximas actividades que tenga en mi estética. El mirar detenidamente la tinta para saber si está en el punto ideal para utilizarla es muy bueno para quéno haya ciertos errores. :)

Hi Justine. I just finished watching Making It season 2, and you WON! Congrats! You were my favourite contestant all the way through. I loved watching you create things and your interactions with Nick and Amy, and just your special personality too. Great vid! The prints and the block look AMAZING! You make it look so easy, and I can't believe how good the results are. I hope you continue making videos, as I will be watching them all from now on. Greetings from Australia 👋 🙂

You should! It's super fun! If you haven't done it before, I recommend getting the EZ cut linolueum instead of the block I used - it's so much easier on your hands when carving, it's linked in the video description if you're interested :)

Realmente me gustó la técnica que empleó lo de las hojas de papel albanene es una idea que sin duda utilizaré a partir de ahora para que sea más fácil pasar mis diseños al linóleo, pues se me complicaba un poco esa parte, la manera en que utiliza las gubias desde mi punto de vista es perfecta, desde los pequeños diseños que hace en las flores, la técnica de huecograbado, y el observar la tinta para saber que ya esta lista y tener menos errores, hacen que el trabajo final se vea todavía mejor de lo que ya esperábamos que quedara.

Me parece que es un grabado muy hermoso y muy completo, realiza técnicas que yo no conocía y le queda fenomenal, como calca los dibujos utilizando el papel albanene es algo muy útil y que simplifica bastante las cosas, creo que realiza una técnica de huecograbado y como quita parte de las orillas del linóleo para que de un efecto visual de que las flores salen de la parte del linóleo que no es quitado me parece impresionante, en general es un trabajo increíble con una calidad de técnica impecable.

Se me hace un muy buen vídeo ya que maneja una técnica muy buena ademas de que la hoja albanene es muy buena idea y sirve como base para futuros trabajos. La calidad de linea que maneja se me hace muy precisa y esto en parte se debe a la practica y me parece un muy buen material de aprendizaje este vídeo. Otra cosa que se me hace muy interesante es la limpieza que maneja ya que en mi caso me mancho un poco las manos y note algunas cosas que ella hace para mantener una buena limpieza.

Hey Justine, great video! I'm wanting to do a little project for Christmas and found my way here. I like how simple your setup is. What is the tool you use to press the paper onto the ink? I have been seeing people say to use a wooden spoon, but that looks a little nicer! :D

me gusto demasiado el video, me gusto la idea de observar todo el proceso que realizaste durante el grabado y la calca en el linóleo. Desde los primeros trazos con las gubias vi la técnica y como fue dejando los espacio suficientes para que la imagen se distinguiera muy bien, el diseño es hermoso observe y aprendí sobre todo que el relieve es parte fundamental de el grabado, y sin embargo esos trazos o profundidades pueden hacer que una obra cambie o reluzca mas. como ultima cosa quisiera agregar que las pruebas siempre son importantes, observas tus errores y corriges, buen video me ayudara mucho para mis clases.

Thank you for this! I've been doing some really basic lino prints and thought I should see how it's actually done lol. I was a bit experimental with the way I do it.... Can I ask what kind of tape you use to hold the tracing paper in place? The way I do it is I kind of try to keep it aligned and check it's all good every so often.

I was in an art and hobby shop today saw some lino and went looking for a video on the process. It seems really straight forward, I love your style for this print. Is it generally always a single colour for block printing or do people ever layer up separate blocks?

@JustineSilva 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you! You can definitely layer up blocks. I've also seen people put two inks on their brayer to make an ombre effect!

@carlsjpg9609 2 жыл бұрын

I am also a block printer! commonly it is one colour since it is easy and clean, but you can also do something called a reduction lino, where you carve out all of one colour and then carve more for the next colour, so on and so forth. I find reduction lino really beautiful and fun, but you will need to make multiple copies of prints as once you are done with a colour layer there is no going back. Lino is super fun and I totally recommend it!

La aplicación de la técnica de grabado en una persona con más experiencia realizándola es muy interesante, podemos ver que usa diferentes materiales que hacen ver de cierta forma más fácil el realizar un diseño para grabado más complicado que al nosotros proponer un tema libre El diseño que escogió tiene cierta complejidad al realizar el cortado justo para darle la profundidad necesaria para darle una buena sensación visual

Considero que fue un diseño muy complejo, pero la técnica de repetir varias veces el dibujo dentro de un mismo diseño utilizando una hoja de papel albanene fue una idea que no se me había ocurrido, el detalle de ver la tinta para saber en que momento esta listo para grabar es un buen tip, para identificar cuando la tinta está bien y cuando le falta, el diseño como ya dije es complejo pero muy impactante a la vista y es muy hermoso el distinto tipo de profundidad que generaste con las sombras de las flores Ortiz Diaz Miguel Angel

Valencia Calderón Daniela 560 Me gustó mucho el diseño, es complejo y lo supo manejar muy bien, la idea de la hoja albanene fue de las cosas que más me gustaron, creo que es muy buena idea y la puedo implementar a futuros trabajos, ya que es una de las cosas que más me cuestan. También me di cuenta de que no tiene que ser muy profunda la línea al momento de grabarla para que quede estampada, siempre creí que era mejor hacerlas mas profundas para que al momento de estamparlas no se manchara, pero no, aquí me demuestran que estaba equivocada, que aunque no queden muy profundas se puede seguir utilizando para estampar. Su manera de estampado me gusto mucho, lo hizo todo muy limpio. Estoy segura de que esto me servirá mucho para trabajos futuros.

hey thank you for the video. Your second print looks really good. I just got into linocut printmaking. I wondering if you could share some tips on making the ink look opaque and evened out on paper. I rolled the ink on the lino, it looks even out on the lino, but when i transferred on paper ( i used a metal spoon to press the paper) the ink ended up very patchy. Do I have to purchase a press or a baren? thank you ! Best, Nanxi

@JustineSilva 2 жыл бұрын

Printing by hand takes a lot of experimenting! I think I show two prints in the video, but I had several test prints (on cheaper paper). When you spread the ink on your inking surface, look for a "toothy" texture (4:07 in the video) - that's how you know it's ready ink the block. If you're having issues with the ink drying on the block before you're able to print, try using a spray bottle to LIGHTLY mist it while it's on your inking surface & working the water in with your roller. (NOTE: this will only work if you're using a water based ink - NOT oil). Printing by hand is kind of about finding that sweet spot of just enough ink, but not so much that it squishes out when you press. So keep experimenting and try to enjoy the process! :)

Unfortunately, I purchased the gray color as I thought the pink would be too soft. I have been an artist all my life and I am 79. I guess I will have to get a lighter color but I wondered if the pink might not hold up so well. I have been using the grey to practice so far. I am going to find some black carbon paper as mine is grey. maybe that would work.

Dumb question, but how long can you use the line blocks to print or are they good forever??

@maddylou4941 2 жыл бұрын

I’m no expert but I believe they last a very long time. But the more they age they harder it is to carve. In Highschool art classes it was always so hard and tough but that’s because it’s very old. I’m short~ they can last along time but the newer the easier to carve. Not sure how long it takes for them to harden though. Hope that helped

@carlsjpg9609 2 жыл бұрын

short answer is a very long time, the long answer is that you can use them to print until they start to crumble and not pull the print how you want any more, or when you are done your edition whichever comes first! Lino does tend to get hard especially in the cold, my professors have recommended putting it in the oven as low as it can go for a few minutes or even a hairdryer to help soften for carving. (I'm a printmaker specializing in lino)

@JustineSilva 2 жыл бұрын

I think they last for a while, but I agree with carlsjpg - you can warm them up in the oven (I've even heard of an iron on the lowest setting). If you're just getting started though, I'd recommend getting the pink EZ cut blocks. They're not as hard to carve and they come in a bunch of sizes. I dropped a link in the bio so you know what they look like.

Weird random question - could you print onto a perfectly round piece of wood, by rolling it slowly over the carved block?

@JustineSilva Жыл бұрын

It depends on your set up. If you sand the wood to be super smooth, you may be able to get a pretty decent print. If you do try this out, I'd highly suggest working with EZ cut (it's pink and much squishier than the block I used in this vid), I think you'd have a better shot at a clean transfer. Good luck!

Hey Jeka, thanks for your feedback. You're right - you should never carve towards yourself - this is a true "do as I say, not as I do" moment. I didn't have a bench hook in this video, but I just dropped a link into the description of the video. It can be helpful to keep your piece in place, and your arms out of the way. I film and edit my videos myself, and I'm still learning how to perfect music choice/audio levels. I'll think of you & your sensitive ears every time I sit down to edit.
