Printmaking: The Linoleum Process 

I'm a middle school art teacher, i show your video to my students every time i teach linoleum block printing. My students alwasy really enjoy your video and I find it a helpful resource as a teacher.

Absolutely. I really like seeing the creative images that people come up with, especially the ones by folks who claim to be "not artistic".

OK, I'm taking my first print making class and using the heating pad is GENIUS!! You have inspired me to explore linoleum!! Thank you for taking the time to post your video!!!

Personally I find the efforts from people who say they can't draw far more interesting and unique than those from people who can.

I love this, I have been having trouble getting reliable prints from a press I recently built. I learned a lot from this.

Excellent tutorial. Final print was awesome!

absolutely incredible!!! i'm doing this in my highschool class, and im so excited to start! im going to do a self portrait too, and I hope it turns out as great as yours

Good stuff, mate. I've just started doing this again, after thirty years, in Mexico City...very popular here. I'll try your magic marker set-up, too...makes it easier, as thinking in negative whilst working is hard work. Nice music choice, too...99% of the music people usually use is hard rock which I have to mute. Keep up the good work.

WOW super awesome tutorial. I just grabbed some linoleum from the art store and decided I would try my hand at this. Came across your video randomly, I live in Portland and work with Arohan haha. Cheers!

I love this.

good video dude, really like it

nice music...dope song

Great video, Thanks

awesome ..... I'm taking printmaking in college right now

Bravissimo, è venuta veramente bene! ;)

wonderful! thanks for sharing

We watched this video in our art class just before we started doing this! :) Very fun. I cut my finger open already though. xD But great video.

great video thank you. I want to get back into this but live in spain and have no idea where to start!

clever idea with heat pad

@ticktock01 I used the heating pad to soften the linoleum, it makes it much easier to cut and control. I dampened the paper because it absorbs the ink better. I was printing on Rives BFK. I don't dampen rice paper.

Great, I will love a little of explanation, but I like it

@spectraljew It is a song by Arohan, it was untitled. He is a musician from Portland, OR. He is great

@wheelermyt yep, thanks.

Thanks for the tutorial. Did you use an image transfer technique to get the outline of the facial shadows before pencil sketching onto the blackened lino?

Only small pokes and only happens if I am working for to long and get careless, always good to step back to take a break and stretch.

@wheelermyt yes, thank you. really like the video. like the others, I thought the heating pad was a terrific idea

i took a print making class and im not very artistic i usually finished first since i would know what i was making since i would usually print things that were well known ex:grumpy cat , stencils, etc while the rest of the class was stuck trying to come up with somthing unique i was able to make tons of prints, long story short go for it

hi did you use some sort of heating mat or something there? great job :D and video!

cool

@dculvez It is a personal preference. I use it because it makes it easier to imagine what the linoleum will be like when it is inked. Did I make that clear?

Love the video - love the image you create - but also love the music it goes with - who is it please ??

Excellent tutorial. I noticed that you use a heating pad beneath your linoleum. I've never seen that before. What is its purpose? I also noticed that you use dampened paper for printing. Are you printing on watercolor paper or do you dampen all paper before printing? Even hand made rice paper?

I learned quite a bit from your video. Thank you. What linoleum do you use? Do you find you can make good, clean, crisp lines with it?

Thanks for nice video and good art. Do u buy the linoleum from an art supply place? How deep is the part you carve away so that it won't receive ink?

what kind of themes do you use when you start printmaking? Im taking a class and i would really like to know more, thanks and great work

Thanks for the comment, you should checkout Bonnie's School of Dance on youtube.

Hi, what is the name of the carving tool you are using? Thanks :)

Great video! What is your printing press model..like it?

Hi there, what sort of a press did you have there? I'm looking to purchase something similar for my printing projects. And did you have specific settings for doing a relief print?

@wheelermyt How did you get that texture in the background?

how did you build it? im interested in making or buying my own press

Thanks for posting the vid. Who is the maker of the press you used?

coooooooooooooooooooooooooooool!!! *_*

how did you get that texture in the background

Win win

why do you use a magic marker initially?

What is the piece of music playing in the background?

I'm not a very good artist but this looks very interesting. Do you think someone with not much artistic background could take a class and do this?

Hi, nice video.. Question- why you dipped sheet in water before printing on it?

Is that A Timex?

Whats the song playing in the background?

ah sorry, answered earlier: Arohan, a musician from Portland Oregon. Greetings from the UK.

who's the music by...? pls :-)

I think you should show the Lino being heated because this is extremely hazardous if the Lino is not heated, there is a greater risk of cutting your hands.

hey, im a student studying illustration and have just discovered the wonders of woodcut print making, i want to go forward using the printing element in my illustrations, anyone know of where i could get hold of a printing press to use at home, im sick and tired of cosh and health and safety regulations at my uni, I JUST WANT TO PRINT AT HOME!!!! thanks

@shiningstar0721 what grade are you in? and what level are in?

Sorry...I should have read the comments before posting.

Why dont u just glue the polyfloor??

I thought there was no carving involved in lithography?

Really important for beginners to keep their fingers out of the way more. I worry about that. But otherwise good video!

@shiningstar0721 well, I'm a 7th grader and i gues we kind of have levels like begiiner, intremediate (that's what i"m in) and expert.

@Flower4229 this is linocut not litography

Hi:) I'm forced to watch this in my english class, and i hate my life too:)

sigma

Bob Dylan????

nice butcher knife

@wheelermyt yep, thanks.
