Any printmakers here? Litho, relief, screen, ect.?
I'd like to see either some artists you like or maybe your own work you've done.

>>2362860
You should. It's so much fun.
>>2362760
All methods, i am a master.
Next question.
>>2362690
I concentrated in printmaking in college, but haven't pulled a print in years.
These are relief, sintra-cuts, about 3' square, on tea-stained paper.

>fuckingtripfag
this is wicked! is it a mono print with a paint brush? also do you have a blog/more work?
Allso printmaking is my preferred/only meduim one day hoping to being a master
>>2363401
yes its a mono print with lino ink mixed with black acrylic. brush is a 2 sided skewer with one side sporting a cigarette filter that has been tattered.
>trade secret, those things are fucking amazing and dead cheap, 2 bucks gets you almost 50 filters.
I have a blog but its mostly digital stuff.
>nice lino cut btw
>pic related, more on subject prints.
self portrait, line etching + aquatint
>>2362749
Weak drawing skills desu. Journeyman-tier at best, no matter what your card says.
>>2362690
So if i'm a complete noob, but want to start printmaking because i think it's amazing where do i start? Where can i buy materials? At a normal art store? Also with which printmaking technique should i start first, because i'm watching videos and researching right now and some of these guys are using machines and shit. Links will also be helpful, but whatever.

>Where can i buy materials? At a normal art store?
Yes. Hobby chain stores (hobby lobby, michaels) won't have much, but actual art supply stores should have the basics. order online if not.
> Also with which printmaking technique should i start first
classes usually start with monotypes and relief printing. if you print relief (woodblock, lino) with rice paper and a wooden spoon, you won't need a press, otherwise you'll need to find a printmakers collaborative near you.

not bad post more
>>2363573
holy cow this is really nice
>>2363584
took me 20 seconds .
>stay jelly mate / post your work/ here comes merc
>>2364502
20 seconds? that wood must slice like butter.
>>2364126
sure, another mono print.
also fyi this >>2364502 is also me, did not have my fag code on.
>>2364502
i made that simple woodblock to create "clay block" prints. end result are tablets that look ancient as fuck.
>>2364521
Noice. Maybe one day I'll get that fast. The carving process takes forever for me.
>>2367899
try softer wood, it really shouldn't take much unless you're going overboard with details
My question is why would you make a print of something you drew in 20 seconds?
Here's the first wood cut and first print I ever did - it's on full 24x32 bfk
>>2368230
And here's my latest print - lithography also on full size bfk
>>2362690
Yeah I've done it. Its kind of a pain in the ass and isn't my first choice of medium. Clean up is AWFUL.
Here's a monotype print I did.
>>2368237
another, woodblock.
>>2363372
These are gorgeous! Keep it up, you've got talent with this.
>>2363401
What are you doing here??? What kind is this? I'm confused, Is this the print block or the print?
In anycase, it looks cool so far.
>>2368243
One more, some gay teenage boy lookin shit. Woodblock again.
>>2363573
DAYUMn, that is nice. I'm impressed with a lot of these on here. I like dat eye.
I'm taking an Intro to Printmaking this semester for an art credit. What can I expect?
I did this a few years ago. I want to do more but with acid or wood. This is hard lino.
>>2369766
Did this too. Hard lino
>>2369751
anything really, its a very expansive subject, i would recommend keeping it simple when you start, something such as lino cut, as it replicated woodblock but in a way that is easier to print and physically cut.
its also cheaper as one does not need to buy wood and one also does not need expensive cutting blades, cheap lino and cheap blades will do.
>>2363637
Do a class on etching you will love it
