@bluewren65 Год назад

"i'm just mad now", is basically a stage every printmaker gets to at least once in the process of making a print. For me, it usually involves a lot more swearing, but the sentiment is the same. Wonderful, comprehensive tutorial. This will be a valuable resource for printmakers, both experienced and novice, for years and years to come.

@artprof Год назад

Absolutely, no matter how long you have been doing printmaking there is always some snag somewhere... -Prof Lieu

@angelacarter6593 Год назад

I'm exremely appreciative that you included a failed print in your video. Too often artists on RU-vid only show their successes and I think it leads newer artists to be more insecure about their own failures. Art is about experimentation and all experimentation comes with failures. Those failures can teach us if we don't take them personal.

@artprof Год назад

I agree!! I feel like the times when I have learned the most is when I have messed up, so for me it's important to show the entire process, not just the parts that go well. -Prof Lieu

I love woodblock printing! Back in high school was my first attempt. We had a pile of stuff to chose from that we could carve. I picked a beat up old combat boot. I was enjoying it so much I printed it over 20 times using different colors. My older brother saw them and asked if he could have them. When he met his now wife, the first time I met her she was talking about his apartment and said "I don't know why he's got all these pictures of an old boot hanging everywhere" 😂 I need to get some wood. I'm pretty sure I still have my tools. Thanks for the inspiration!

@youlemur Год назад

I really appreciate you included the process of failure and how to approach it, deal with it, learn from it and overcome it. It's beyond useful, it's really amazing and inspiring. Shows your self confidence too. Every other RU-vidr only shows a polished, edited, fake story of the creative process. (Respect to the few exceptions). I see this in 99% of music production videos. The person always picks the ideal drum, bass sound, perfectly fitting instruments, effects and processing tools, and "Voila, *poof* and here's your final product - see how easy it is?" This creates an unrealistic, fake image of the creative process and it can be very discouraging for beginning artists. It's like you had a tree that only grows 1 apple a year, and it's the best apple in the world. Instead of the whole picture of a full tree bearing 1 apple, typical youtuber would show you basically just one long branch on a tree trunk with no side branches and with the apple at the end of it, if you know what I mean.:)

@artprof Год назад

I agree with this so much, I really do think that those "flawless" art process videos are doing a disservice to artists, especially young artists who don't have enough experience to see the value in the inevitable mistakes we will make! -Prof Lieu

@youlemur Год назад

@@artprof It starts with the education system that rewards perfection, and punishes mistakes, whereas in the real world, we mostly and most efficiently learn from mistakes.. It's a systemic and societal problem and one of the few real cures I can imagine is the approach you show in this video.

This is another example of this channel delivering uniquely helpful content. One note, from a print collector's perspective: We don't consider AP (artist proof) to mean "there is only 1 copy of that print." This is important to know because you will often see multiple APs of the same print on the market at the same time, and you should not think one of these is fraudulent. An artist is typically permitted to make a few APs (up to 10% of the edition size). So if the edition size is 30, the artist can make 3 APs. If it's 100, the artist can make 10 APs. What defines the AP is that it is identical to the edition, but is not part of the edition. Other proofs-called trial proofs, state proofs, or working proofs-are pulled in the process of reaching the edition quality. We saw you making these along the way in this video. These are "variant impressions" because they vary from the edition quality. An AP is never a variant, but always identical to the edition. Some printmakers use the term "bon à tirer" (“good to pull” in French) when they reach a proof print that is ready for editioning. This can be labeled BAT and signed by the artist. I don't see these very often on the market. As a rule of thumb, on the market APs sell for about 15-20% higher than other prints in the edition. (They may be printed before the edition, or they may be printed during or after the edition. With relief printing, which doesn't have a matrix that decays like intaglio, the artist often signs the prints in a random order, rather than in the order that they were pulled.) It's important to know that prints were not signed and editioned in pencil regularly until the 20th century. Whistler is credited with starting the trend in signing his prints in pencil, in the late 1800s. The two best sources are How Prints Look (Ivins) and How to Identify Prints (Gascione). But other books like Printmaking A Complete Guide (Fick, Grabowski) are also very helpful. The Ivins book is the gold standard and is online for free from the Met.

@artprof Месяц назад

Wow, thank you so much for this incredibly detailed explanation of artist's proofs! I had no idea that this was the case with an AP, the levels of distinction and specifics of how to categorize the prints. Love hearing about the history of this, tysm for contributing to the dialogue here! -Prof Lieu

@counselorchip2248 Год назад

The quintessential wood is Basswood. It doesn’t have the grain issues. But Poplar would be my second. Another tip for sealing wood grain is using cyanacrylic CA glue to lock wood fiber for those cross-cuts where tear out may occur. I don’t think CA glue will affect the ink loading for your printmaking. Sharpening is a whole art to learn but sharp tools are safer tools.

Thank you Prof! I’ve been slowly collecting the tools so I can start wood and Lino cut works. I’ve been painting on canvas with oils for more than a decade, but I’ve never really explored this form of expression. Mostly what I want to say here is that your video has more value to me than any other educational source I’ve found to date. You’ve covered the nuances of the process that are all I need to get started. You answered so many of my questions and given much more than I even could have asked. Whenever I want to learn something, I need the technical information up front. I feel that gets me past the confidence hump of starting something new and enables me to dive into my work. Heading out now to get a piece of wood, I’ve already got the carving tools and a small home press and plenty of paint!

I am just starting out with this technique and I am so excited to get started. You are right about linocut, that was a big problem for me when I first started doing that. I've just been taught stone lithography (oh what a fantastic process!) and now we are moving onto Japanese Woodblock printing. This video was awesome. Thank you so much.

Love your videos and beautiful woodcut prints. You need a strop with strop paste to hone your tools you better edge. Also you are getting tear out because you are going against the grain. Going with or across the grain will produce a smoother cut. If you hone your tools with a strop and compound you could use the mallet less unless you are using a hard wood. Keep up the great videos. Thanks!

Would you recommend this as an Art project for 10 - 12-year-old students? Our curriculum here in the Philippines does. I'm really worried about safety. Also, tools are expensive. Could you suggest an alternative project in case it is not a good project? By the way, very informative video. Thanks. More power.

@artprof Год назад

12 year olds are fine, I think 10 is a little young. 11 years old would be okay if you don't have a very large class, as it's very important that you can monitor them in terms of safety. Another option is to do this with pink erasers or rubber stamps, they are much softer, easy to cut, and are not as tough in terms of teaching safety.

Actually, someone did some research for me, and apparently that brand I had, Miniwax has a wood putty version that is "non-hardening" which explains why it didn't work! I had no idea "non-hardening" wood putty existed 😂 -Prof Lieu

@@artprof Any idea of the use case a non-hardening variant might be good for?

I honestly have no idea! I'm sure a woodworker would know. -Prof Lieu

Just about near had a heart attack seeing you get water on a block! Use oil ink and vegetable oil for cleanup so your blocks last forever.

@@artprof I've been doing tons of research on making my own prints! I may try lino to start, woodcut, and eventually wood engraving which is done on end grain for even finer detail than woodcut.
