That was a useful comparison - thanks! I like that the different techniques result in different styles; seems each could have its uses. Very cool to see them this way.
Thank you for sharing all your wonderful tips and processes! Really helpful! Any chance you might know how to do porchoir printing? If yes, any chance you might do a video on that sometime? I’m fascinated by the idea but don’t know how and you explain things so well, keeping it accessible in terms of material costs and the how to’s. Just wondering. Thanks!
We were taught that technique in college and were required to do a small edition but it has been a while. I may even still have the stencils I made for it then. Let me check it out. I have a few videos made already but I am between projects so I will see if I can whip one up for you in the next few weeks. It is not that difficult a process.
I don't understand your use of the term "stencil" The definition of a stencil is a thin sheet of card, plastic, or metal with a pattern or letters cut out of it, used to produce the cut design on the surface below by the application of ink or paint through the holes. Notice it says "cut out of it" and the ink or paint goes through holes. What you are doing here is preparing for I would call relief printing.
I first heard of these called stencils by the professor in art college who taught printmaking. She encouraged us to explore varied techniques like this. Technically they are just thin sheets of plastic but they are extruded instead of cut and the application I am using them for is exactly the same way I use cut stencils. I suppose you could call them whatever you like but if you google hot glue stencil you will find this is the term that is what is used almost in every instance.
@@craftingareality6282 humm as they are extruded and from how I observed you using them they are behaving more like a mask than a stencil. I have done prints like this but called them glue relief prints. My stencil work is vastly different than this. Good to see your technique though. I have only ever used PVA glue and it needs considerable time to dry. One of my speciality electives at design school was printmaking. :)
