    Very beautiful print! It's always interesting to see what people use as reference while they work on a piece, since through that outside visual we are shown how their artistic creativity moves into the final piece from the artist's own personal style! I've seen alot of physical references used through my years in art classes but I haven't seen any lobster shell yet, so that's really cool!

    I would think the carborundum is bad for brushes, but the brushes in the video look immaculate. Would be great to know if those brushes were fairly new for the purpose of filming of if it's realistic to expect brushes to stay in great shape even when used with carborundum.

    Thank you, this was a bit helpful. How could it have been more helpful? by putting the ink/paint onto white paper in a thin wash or whatever in order to get an idea of what they all look like in comparison to each other, and to let those pain tones come out. That's what I came here for, to decide what black to buy, since I'm starting out. Perhaps alternately, actually labeling the color strips at the end so we know what we are looking at would also been helpful. Also some talk about how they are for plate tone would be helpful as well.

    Hello, thank you very much for your videos which are very useful for beginners with Akua inks. Congratulations also for your work as an artist. I live in France and I found Akua inks at Joop Stoop and Géant des beaux arts. But impossible to find the needle applicators which are nevertheless present on the Akua print Press file on the Speedball site. Could you please provide me with a link, as this is very specific material. Thank you. Cordially.

      Nothing wrong if a large diameter pvc pipe is made into a rolling piece, which can be rolled over paper to print. . cut pipe to lenght desired, . stand it upright with a metal tube in centre (secured) with handle parts extending out both ends 10cm long, . mix and pour concrete into it allow it to dry for 2 days. It will be heavy but no comparison on price of a printing press, perhaps usd1200 or so, minimum.
