Excellent. You're the real deal.

I am new to lino printing and this is the first video I have watched which clearly and simply shows me how I might make some reduction prints when I get a bit more experienced. As someone who has sketched for much of my life, I am struggling a bit to get my head around the idea of negative space. As well as the fact that my lino cut will be a reverse of anything I sketch.

I’m melting here in awe. Absolutely gorgeous. I really enjoyed seeing all the steps and I have a new appreciation of just how special each print is. All that work put into them, and it shows. Rare beauty! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you Sherrie. Your work is wonderful. I enjoyed all 4 videos and wish there were more!

Thanks for making your video! Loved it.

This is the best video I have seen on this art.

Wow, Those are incredible. I've just begun to get into printmaking and you are an absolute inspiration to me. The way you compose images and capture light (and with only 12 or colours!) is amazing. Please don't ever stop making such beautiful pieces af artwork :)

Best lino video I've seen! Great teacher. Thanks!

Great video. Thank you so much (ex new englander living on the olympic peninsula)😊

I’m losing my mind this is so stunning!!! Wow.

Beautiful. Thank you for showing

I've enjoyed your work for years and it's lovely to hear you talk about how you make it.

Fabulous, thanks Sherrie. Glad to see someone else has reservations during the reduction process and just keeps going to see what happens

Señora York, thanks to your advice the first color, so far, has come perfect. You are a wonderful teacher and I appreciate very much your taking the time to answer my questions. Thank you.

You explain everything beautifully! It's often hard to talk to beginners about the intricacies of ink mixtures and complex processes. I appreciate this, cheers!

Thank you Sherrie! You made my day brighter!

Insightful video, amazing work! Thank you and congratulations!

A really great review of your process. Thanks for sharing!

I love your works!! Amazing details.

Love your explanations of reduction method. Beautiful work!. Thank you.

Wow! It's gorgeous, and thank you so much for sharing

I have watched this several times now. I like how you work through the different problems, always with an optimistic attitude!

Bravo! That is so cool. Love how you used the opaque layers to change gears, and I’ll be using your newsprint mask idea, very helpful. Thanks for posting.

Beautiful picture! I am stunned that so many printing prosesses can end up so well!

Thank you very much! You explained the process so well and I loved watching how the image came to life with each colour pass. I think you've got me hooked on trying lino printing.

This is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing such a detailed account of your process!

Thank you very much, Sherrie. I got quite a few nice tips from you.

Awesome work!! Absolutely love this

This was so satisfying to watch and so instructional. Thank you so much!!

what a great instructional on reduction linocut printing. Clear and very straight forward . I learned a lot thank you for sharing .

I’m another long time fan. Great to see a video.

Thank you! So clear and beautiful.

Outstanding. Love the process. That last run is always so gratifiing.

This was so inspiring! I've been dabbling in Lino printing, but this is a whole other level! Thanks for sharing :)

Hugely inspiring Sherrie, and thank you much for making this video and showing us your technique !

Well done Sherrie! It is so nice to see you in person and hear your voice. As a long time fan this is a really nice introduction. It is always so cool to see another printmaker, carve and share their process.

Hi! Great video. I live in Maine and recently began to focus on printmaking. This was a great explanation of process and things to consider, and I like your drying rack!

Absolutely gorgeous… it’s amazing how painterly these prints look

Wonderful instruction. Thank you for enlightening us about the procedure

Gorgeous work.

this was wonderful! thank you for sharing!

Your work is really beautiful. Thank you for such a great instructional video. I would have no idea of the work behind making such a pleasing print. I will be watching, and enjoying more of your work. Amazing!

Thank you for an informative video. This is a beautiful print!

What a great instructional video on the process of reduction printing!

Wow, fascinating, fantastic and inspiring. I had to repeat the video a few times to really understand the process of carving, painting and how shadows and highlight develop with every pass of paint. Thank you very much for the video. I found your gallery and I am amazed of the beauty ofd your work, so inspiring.

Lovely work and well explained. Thank you!

Utterly beautiful. I am just starting the print making journey and your work is inspirational!

Decided to comment and now I don't know what to say ... I can't come up with anything that sounds as sincere as I would mean it to be received, or as honestly flattering and grateful that doesn't appear gratuitous ... after some though I came to this ... Today I was, once again, unexpectedly touched by Serendipity when I found you on KZfaq while merely searching for a couple of decent tutorial videos on lino cutting and printing - I've been an acrylic painter since my high school days in the very early 70's and am just getting stocked up and about ready to get busy in printmaking so to expand my options when creating ... anyway, that's the plan - but today I took an unexpected turn and was held in awe as I walked right into your Sistine Chapel, your Louvre, your Webpage. I am certain that if I had begun relief printmaking 50 years ago instead of painting you would still be, today, my Master. I have been studying many very talented lino printmakers in Great Britain (seems like everyone is doing it there - and they are remarkably talented in their own ways too) and I've seen much that I admire and marvel at, but I was not ready for the complete cultural experience that you have created for yourself all centered around nature and the love of it - while my style of art doesn't reflect this at all, my life appreciations that I've accumulated does in my vital force within. What can you say to your Master when you meet her, what can you offer her in appropriate compensation for what you've so generously been given? If I were somewhat younger than the years that I am now I would offer you my daily services as your apprentice as they used to do. But alas, that cannot be for me ... I can only hope to someday perhaps meet up with you in person, take you to dinner and properly thank you for what you've done for me today and all my tomorrows. I have signed up to your newsletter and will glean what I can from it, and your on-going works, what I possibly can in order to be, myself, more like my Master in the end.

that was outstanding! such a wonderful explanation and demonstration and of course a brilliant end result print. thank you!

Thank you so so much for your generosity of spirit - your print is absolutely delightful and I have learned so much . I look forward to looking at all your work and I will try and attempt another reduction print 🙌 🌸🧡

Thank you so much. Lovely video and lovely prints. Appreciate the clear info.

This was awesome! Thanks for sharing.

Excellent demo and honest and sincere. Great work thank you

Excellent demonstration! Answered a lot of my questions. Thank you.

Thank you so much Sherrie! I started lino printing a couple of weeks ago and I needed an instruction video like yours to get a better sense of the reduction method. You explain it very well! And what a beautiful peace of art!

Absolutely wonderful!!! Thanks for sharing this extremely informative video.

Just came across this and enjoyed it very much! Thanks! I have been making prints for about a year now. I was never taught or trained and videos like this help alot, so thanks for sharing!

Great tutorial. Appreciate you showing some of the tricky decision making involved. Thank you!

Inspirational and such a clear commentary and process. Thank you!

Very very interesting. I have always wondered about the process, and your demo ( and finished piece) were outstanding!

I love the design and the contrast of colors. I appreciate the explanations about the layering of colors. I have done a reduction print, and you cleared up one of those questions I had when you did the yellow color.

Thanks!!! Very nice work! And soo deep colors

Fascinating process and breathtaking work. Thank you so much for sharing! ❤

That is a wonderful demonstration and explanation, absolutely love your work. Thank you so much for sharing ❤

Love your art, patience, and sense of humour 😄👌

best video i have seen on this process so far, and what a beautiful print.

Hi Sherri, amazing work, as an absolute beginner to lino cutting reduction prints the video is so concice and very well presented. It's by far the best explanation of a reduction print that I have seen. I have been inspired by the process and I have to say I am quite excited to try a reduction. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

That was absolutely brilliant! I have just received a Lino cutting kit for Mother’s Day, and found this video fascinating . Can’t wait to to try it! Thanks so much for sharing your process.

I agree with Wendy Willis.I was lovely to see you work and I learnt heaps. I appreciate your generosity in sharing your process. Loved seeing your registration system being used.

Wow! Great work!! Very inspiring...

Stunning work and a great explanation of the risks! But the resultant print is beautiful work, almost photographic. Thank you for sharing.

Wow, it looks so good! I love it! You're amazing

Thanks for the great walk-through! I especially appreciated how you talked through those tricky decision-making processes. It's cool to hear an artist describe how they make choices. I need to explore your channel a little more, but I'm curious about how to construct a jig. I got the general idea of how yours works, but I'm interested to see how to line things up and attach the pins. Anyways, very cool! Your print was beautiful as well.

Great info!! You answered a lot of my questions.

Fascinating process.

I so wish more videos could be music-free. Thank you for making such a technically good audiovisual artifact, as well as a challenging and ultimately successful reduction print! If KZfaq had a "stars" rating system, I'd give this 5 out of five.

Amazing, thank you for sharing!!

Yeah really enjoyed watching you wrestle the colours back in a different direction and it was very informative.... I'm going to be trying my first reduction very soon and it'll probably be a complex piece... This really helped. Thanks

Really like your drying rack set-up 👍

Thanks so much for doing this. As a self-taught reduction woodcut printmaker, I'm forever questioning if I'm doing things right. I've long been a fan of yours, so seeing you work through the same issues I have in the same ways I do, has been a great confidence boost. I often print lighter colors over darker, bolder ones, and I love that you refer to the "ugly duckling stage" -- I call it the "awkward stage."

Thank you for sharing your story! Really enjoyed your video :)

thank you Sherrie for this reduction process tutorial. Have admired your work for nearly two decades. I believe (not certain though) you might have posted and/or commented in the Wetcanvas printmaking community at one time? I haven't been active at all in that community for several years due to health challenges but recently returned to the medium in limited capacity. I have never attempted reduction lino and feel inspired to after watching this tutorial. Best wishes.

Thank you! I'm just starting and this was so very helpful.

Thanks for the tutorial. Good work!

Excellent demo! 👏👏👏👏

Fantastic video! Thank you :)

That was so instructive and beautiful! I am starting back after many years of hiatus from printmaking. Your video was amazing and makes me want to invest in a press (of course LOL). Thanks for putting the time into this excellent video.

lovely work Sherri

Love this technique

That’s great, thank you

lovely video, thank you!

Amazing!

That was fantastic, Sherrie. As a beginner, I loved seeing what's possible, and how complex it can be. Inspirational work. Thank you.

Fantastic ~Thanks for sharing 😊

So beautiful and informative. Thank you...Mary Kosary

Wow ....the masking of the yellow bits is exactly where I am stuck. The sticky paints mean I need to dry them 1 day more......no-one tells you that at college. Neither did the Masters degree tutor tell me to sketch the image onto paper, trace it, draw it in ......the carve thin lines...wax crayon over the carved image with newspaper to get an idea of the possible lines of the print to see before taking out too much of the block. I paid a tutor who had no idea about the process and how to teach the steps. I did litho printing. The tutors told us everything in one go and there were 38 steps because I drew them in a flowchart. They really do need to learn how to teach first before they start importing technical knowledge. Now I understand because you broke it down so well and it’s answered a lot of my problems because I couldn’t work out how to keep the yellow bright without it getting darker from the other colours. Thankyou! Beware of bogus tutors online who don’t know the process!

Awesome depth! Great to see the evolution. I've wanted to try this for like 10 years. I only need a SPOON?!?!

Besides being an awesome instructor, your hair looks great 😊

Needless to say that you have inspired me to start printing again because the last tutor put me off as I got so overwhelmed with 38 steps that I couldn’t remember anything they told me.

Just found this video and I can’t wait to go home and try it. A quick question: what is the best way to clean the linoblock and how long did you wait between color passes?
