Please can you tell me how thick the plexiglass you use is? - Thank you.
For this print I used the plexiglass salvaged from a broken Ikea frame. Plexiglass, or acrylic, for IKEA frames is typically 2 millimeters thick.
Thanks for the great video! Just a couple of quick questions: Is the plexi-glass you're using not usually intended for printmaking? I'm in Australia so wondering if it's what we call "perspex". Also, are the diamond tip scribes/needles the sharpest and easiest tools to get good lines, more than steel or other tips? I'm considering buying one but all printmaking tools are expensive here.
The plexiglass-glass I'm using is intended for use in frames instead of glass. It is thin a flexible. I like it because I don't have to file and smooth the edges to prevent it from shearing the paper like I would have to with thicker plexiglass. I have also used other plastic from food containers that can work well too. After looking up Perspex I see that it seems to be a lot like plexiglass. I don't see a reason that you can't give it a try.
@@starlustudio1498 thanks for the quick reply, that's what I was thinking it was. How about the diamond tool, is it noticeably easier to use than other cheaper drypoint tools?
@@stuartmorgan9389 I like it. It’s a lot like using a pencil. I find it easier to use than the other tools.
@@starlustudio1498 thanks again :)
Verry nice😊
Thank you! :-)
Sublime!
Fantastic!
I love this print! I will try and do my version in the future. Thank you for sharing your techniques.
You are so welcome!
Lovely! Thank you for sharing your flawless techniques. A very helpful video!
You are so welcome! Glad it was helpful! :-)
Fantastic!
any clue what song that is?
@@doublesided1013 it’s just a rift my son dreamt up.
The reveal on this is so good 😂 I'd love to know more about the ceramic baron too! How does it compare to other barons and have you had issues with it on certain papers? Who made yours? It's cute and reminds me of a mushroom!
Actually, I make them, originally as gifts for friends in my printmaking group. As for how they compare to other barons, I've used a wooden spoon, a silver spoon, a commercial baron and they all have their uses. I like the way I can use this one for both general pressing and burnishing. This baron has worked just fine on every paper I've used so far with no problems to report. I started out selling a few of the extras on my Etsy artist site: www.etsy.com/shop/StarluStudio. I list them in small batches whenever I get around to firing my kiln.
@@starlustudio1498 oh that's so cool! And thank you for all the info, I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for the extras!
Muy bonito 😮
@@Graficasyarte Thanks you. 🙂
Glorious!
@@davidjames2145 ☺️
So helpful! thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Can I ask what paper you used for your final pull?
@@robinjohns507 I’m using smooth Bristol paper.
Love your charming squirrel.
Thank you! :-)
What kind of ink did you use for the print? I wanna try something like this at home but all the relief printing ink I can find is water based :(
@@MariaMalandrakis I used Caligo safe wash inks. They are oil based and aren’t water soluble once it dries AND are soap and water clean up!
@@starlustudio1498 Thanks!
Love this technique! So much easier than making different layers in reduction.
@@kstutz230 yes! I agree!
another gorgeous print ! great inspiration. thanks so much !
You are so welcome!
this was gorgeous. I was so happy to see someone do a monotype usually everyone has colors. ! I love black and white photos ! so your gelli print really appealed to me. well done ! new sub.
Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. :-)
very impressive!
Thanks!
I found it so beautiful! ❤
@@julianakoby5092 thank you 🙏🏼😊
You have a full video of this gel print
YES! ua-cam.com/video/TnbmOkz-epg/v-deo.html
Great video. What kind of press do you have? Thanks
It's a Dick Blick 1267 Etching Press. An old friend gifted this used one to me and I am so happy to have it!
Hello, thanks for this nice video. Is this handprinted or did it go through a printing tool?
We hand printed this project.😊
@@starlustudio1498 Well done! 😍👍
Nice! Would love to see how you did it 😀
Check out my other videos on printmaking to see how I use the baren when printing on a gel plate and Lino printing. There is also a video showing how I make the barens if that’s what you meant.
Honestly, I think both prints look great :). Thank you for showing your experience. It's such a beautiful print!
Thanks so much! 😊
Did you wet the paper
Yes, the paper is wet then blotted as shown in the video.
I was today years old when I learned about dry point etching. Now I want to try it! Your prints are lovely, and thank you for sharing how to print without a press (in one of your other videos). What thickness of plexiglass do you use? Thanks! ❤
I use recycled plexiglass from old ikea frames. They are thin. You can use thicker plexiglass but will have to round and burnish the sharp edges to prevent it from cutting your paper.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful artwork.
My pleasure 😊
Neat upcycle idea, I always like to try these. :) How hard are you pressing down when etching the plate? When I've tried this so far I've gotten nothing from my pulls after removing ink but can clearly see the image inked if that makes sense.
First, Your scratches should be deep enough to hold ink. You said that they are so Second, be sure that your paper is damp (not wet) when you start pressing the plate. Third, you need to apply enough pressure to transfer the image. Use the back of a spoon (or a press) applying a lot of pressure. Lift a corner to see if a transfer is being made, if not, burnish the area again applying pressure. You should be able to see the outline of your plate in your paper as well as your image when you're done. I hope this helps.
Thank you for sharing your process! It will be fun to try, is the photo you are tracing simply filtered in black and white? Or is there some additional filtering like posturization in photo shop giving you simpler values?
It’s just a black and white photo that my brother took.
Please 🙏🙏🙏 could you tell me what kind of white you use? Transparent or not ? Thanks so much. I’m gonna try some painting a bit like yours today! Thanks so much and have a nice day ! Live what you paint!
I use a Titanium White Acrylic paint that is opaque (not transparent). Some brands I've used are Grumbacher Academy Acrylic, Liquitex Basics, and Artist's Loft.
❤wow%!
❤️😊❤️
How do you make the rectangle imprint that your beautiful painting is in?
The rectangle imprint happens when the plate that the image is etched on is pressed into the dampened paper in the press. To see the process check out this video. ua-cam.com/video/qPaunv_O2bk/v-deo.html
@@starlustudio1498 Thank you!
Thank you for this video. I tried to make my own version.
Great! Hope it turned out for you.

Hi! I did a google search for "watercolor and etching intaglio", and found your video. I looked at your Etsy shop, then clicked on your website and thought, This looks familiar! I see you have a shop on goimagine! So cool. I've been with goimagine since April 2020. I'm pondering doing my first printmaking using copper etching (I have lots of copper), so I've been watching multiple videos. Thanks for the nice video, well done. Shirley ♥
Wow! I love t! You make it look so easy, but I know there are many techniques involved. Thanks for sharing your expertise with us! 😊😊❤❤
You are so welcome!
Love your music and love love LOVE the tutorial! I took love doing Nature prints. I hope you're going to use your scrap pieces of painted papers in something! 😊😊❤
Thank you! I always save my scrap paper. They end up in many of my mixed media projects.
Exactly what I was looking for! I love to use Cranfield Caligo Safewash Relief Ink, but wasn't sure if it will allow me to add watercolor on top since its easy to wash with water. I feel more confident know to add some watercolor to my prints!!1
Wonderful! I'm glad it was helpful!
OMG The cat is so precious!
😊❤️
Beautiful!!!
😊 thank you
Didn’t press down evenly over the whole thing but still looks great
Awesome!
I would love a video tutorial on how to make a grass nest!
Thanks for the idea!
