In Memoriam ii: The reduction linocut process
**Clarification! For the purpose of keeping the time down on this video (already at 9min), I have not shown my carving between each printed colour layer (if you watch the block you will see it changes over time). The stencils are purely to separate areas of colour, not to make texture or build up tone. As stated in the title of the video this IS a reduction process as the block is carved between each colour step. As my carving process is the same as anyone doing a reduction linocut I left these steps out to save on time and show the interesting and different parts of my processes**
A quick demonstration of how the reduction linocut "In Memoriam ii" was made. This video shows how I approached the print and is by no means the best or only method to produce a reduction linocut. This demo was filmed over the 4 months (Sept-Jan 2018-2019) it took to complete the print. The print went through 22 stages or pulls, with each stage being built upon from the last using the same linocut block. It is printed with oil-based inks on cream Stonehenge paper (chosen for its toughness and resilience). I chose to dampen the paper at each stage in the same way to make it easier to handle when placing it into the registration block. The stencils I used to mask out areas in the beginning are made of a heavy tracing paper and some had to be reinforced with clear contact or tape to strengthen them. It was printed with a combination of hand printing with a plastic rice spoon and presses depending on the size of the area needed to be printed. Hand printing prolonged the life of the block, preventing it from being squished after so many pulls. Most of the process was completed in my home studio with the last few pulls printed at the QCA printmaking studios (as my wooden carjack press broke on the 18th layer). I started with 30 sheets of paper and ended with an edition of 28 prints.
Each stage:
1. Light blue on abdomen
2. Selective orange/yellow in blended roll (1)
3. Selective orange/yellow in blended roll (2)
4. Selective orange/yellow in blended roll (3)
5. Darker blue fade on abdomen
6. Selective transparent black and orange blended roll
7. Selective brown on eyes and wings in 2 stages
8. Selective brown on the body, legs and antennae
9. Darker brown on eyes and wings
10. Darker brown on eyes and wings again
11. Light transparent black over the whole block
12. Light transparent black over the whole block (2)
13. Adding blue flecks stage 1
14. Adding blue flecks stage 2
15. Light transparent black over the whole block (3) 16. Transparent black over the whole block (4)
17. Transparent black over the whole block (5)
18. Transparent black over the whole block (6)
19. Transparent black over the whole block (6)
20. Transparent black over the whole block (7)
21. Adding black fade to abdomen
22. Black background

una consulta que tinta es porque varias veces se sumergue agua con el dibujo colorido?
Most people seem to be able to follow this. I found it disjointed, and I didn't know why some of the things were being done, or what the overall steps were.
Excellent! So much work. And you have to work out each stage beforehand too! I think I would find that impossible!
Insanely great.
Dear lady! This is one of the most beautiful lino-work I've seen on YT so far! Thanx very much for sharing your awesome work 😍
"now who would've thunk?" At first glance no one will ever think that's a linocut print!
WOW! what beautiful artwork you create!
Wow! Amazing !
amazing technique <3
Absolutely mindblowing. The soft fuzzy texture and beautiful blends of colors are so very impressive.
Very nice video. Thank you for sharing!
This is the most well thought out and well executed reduction lino process I’ve ever seen! And it’s a beautiful design. Kudos! Thanks for sharing! Subscribed in hopes that you will share more in the future. :)
Hello…great video. Need advice. I am literally just starting wood block print. I know you roll paint on. I need to paint a “sunburst” pattern on a guitar print. I see you roll several colors. How can you make a circle that gets lighter as it goes in? Thanks in advance.
Feo tu video no enseñas nada
This seems more like pochoir than reduction printing. Seems redundant to soak your paper for a relief print, especially one done in layers?
Such beautiful work. Love to see more - I’ve never seen a reduction linocut done with masks before! 👍💖
J'adore
Simply beautiful
wow 🤩 very detailed process that required a lot of planning and patience. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Watched it twice. Amazing. So rich in detail and color. I loved the process. Beautiful print. Thank you. Wish you had more demos!
Spectacular ! Beautiful work !
Wow that’s a lot to unpack for a person new to printmaking. The registration, stenciling, the transparent black buildup layer, and nearly two dozen passes. This is great stuff to see, thank you so much!
Uggh! I had to take a Dramamine. Please mount your camera.
This is just extraordinary. Such talent, skill and beauty. Thank you so much for sharing.
wonderful
Beautiful. I love your color aesthetic. Can you post more videos on similar content?? :)
I'm in absolute awe. Just starting to learn linocut on my own and wondering if there's any chance I'll ever get close to being able to do this type of work. Just brilliant--thank you so much for sharing your process!!
So impressive! Thanks for sharing
WOW!!!
Stunning work with an interesting process... a few questions for understanding: how long was the carving and print process to get to the final image? How many final prints were produced in the series? What would you sell an individual print for to a buyer/collector?
This is just incredible! I was looking for a video to show how to use stencils with reduction but you have taken it to a whole new inspiring level! Thankyou.
This is beautiful, but it would probably take more time to do it this way than to actually paint it...
Amazing work! So very intricate. And I do love a blue banded bee =)
My professor showed this in class and to me it's like magic happening as I watch this XDXD Seriously you are super talented at this XD
Wow loved it
Amazingly beautiful!! Hope to see more videos from you in the future 😊
Maravilloso Que trabajo
Your amazing the print came out so beautiful thanks for sharing
Amazing.
Absolutely beautiful print!
Lol. People are mad harsh about the “reduction process.” Since I also do reduction, at first I thought... this is not reduction. But when you started getting into darker colors, you/she did use reduction method. Y’all give her a break, printmaking nerds! 😜 I appreciate I learned an interesting, maybe even easier way to as some base color, especially cause of your used to the process you know when you do multi color reduction, the colors end up blending and not giving you pure color you intended. Print red over green and you get a muddy brown color, etc. Thanks for the video @elysetaylor
Ur print is so amazing. The technique ur using is very interesting! Wish u will have more videos! Thanks for sharing :)
I love how you are combining the use of stencils with linoleum reduction. I am thoroughly impressed that your registration was so good that you only lost 2 sheets. Would you tell me about how you created your registration block? I would love to know!
Really interesting process. Thank you for sharing. I have to agree with some of the other comments. The jumpy filming made the video hard to watch. I had to skip some of it...
Didn't make any sense to me at all, pls make a voice over to explain the process, it's too messy to understand
Good job.
what do you use for the final details (last linocut for abdomen) ? it's impressive o_o waw
This is the most riveting linocut process I have ever seen...amazing patience!!
And amazing result, lovely!
Fantastic
Word of advice: try to keep the camera still, you get motion sickness and it makes it a bit hard to watch for long. Other than that, great art
