Well the fact that you can produce something so absolutely magical in the way that you did, so seemingly effortlessly, makes me think that either you have it or you don't. It's not so much a learned thing, although it can be learned, but it's really something that that is just in your soul, it's a part of you, that's why it works.
WOW, that print is absolutely beautiful! Did you use oil-based inks so you had the time to do all that and stayed wet? The music is lovely, so calming. Thank you.
@@Lune.luxxxxx oh OK, I thought so. I really hate cleaning up oil-based inks or paints with solvents: bad for my breathing/stinks! Or are there kinder (to the body & environment) ways? Or water-based which behave like oil-based/retarders? I know SO little! Some of my acrylic paints really stink too - solution = NO paints/inks?! Thank you.
@@muradyan thank you, I have seen these advertised so often here on UA-cam. I live in France and I don't know whether they are available here or if there is something similar but made here in France - which I would prefer maybe - because it saves sending things round the world (pollution/unnecessary)! I'm trying to use up supplies/materials I've already got before I buy yet more but I might look next time I'm at an art shop!
Here you go, Jenny - Akua in France - www.joopstoop.fr/en/inks-modifiers/1916-akua-intaglio-ink.html I HIGHLY recommend them. Even BETTER than oils. They stay open on the plate literally forever. They dry through absorption into the paper. So if left on non-porous articles the ink doesn't dry. You can even leave the cap off the jars with no worries. They also make a Liquid Pigment that stays open a long time, but perhaps not as long? Water and dish soap cleanup, sometimes with a bit of isopropyl alcohol.
I really liked this video, thanks for sharing! I wanted to ask you what material the matrix is made of, since I have used glass but without using the press afterwards
Hello Niels, thank you for your response to the print as well as your question. I'm using black Charbonnel ink and mixing with it a bit of Liquin. For your information, I'm now using a water-based ink, Aquawash, and using water-based Liquin.
Sorry Anne for missing your question form a year ago. I'm using black Charbonnel ink and mixing with it a bit of Liquin in the video. But I'm now using a water-based ink, Aquawash, and using water-based Liquin.
Leinard, there is no stylus used in making this print, only a rag, fingers, a stick and feather. There was no hard-point incising or acid etching or scratching, only surface application of ink…a pure monotype.

Great to see your process. Thank you
so beautiful... thank you!
I was using Charbonnel inks so I added Liquin to make it move more easily. Now I use a water based ink, Aquawash, so I add the water based Liquin.
Amazing and so inspiring, thank you!

@@jennyhughes4474 hi, check out Speedball's soy based inks, I think they were called AGUA or AKUA..

Really enjoyed watching and listening to this. I don't understand anybody giving it thumbs down - what's not to like? oh, well...
Welcome to the world of YT Trolls whose job in life is to be negative towards everything.
Nice. Really wonderful feeling in that simple drawing.

Stainless steel or aluminium plate, beveled edges so as not to cut the blankets?
Amazing!
Amazing!
What kind of color or ink do you use, Jane Morris Pack? Can see you're mixing something gel-like in the black color.

восхитительно!!!
What specifically did you add to the ink when you were mixing it. Do you have any tips on type of ink to use? Relief? Etching? Litho?
I think it's a paint retarder :)

Beautiful, very inspiring : )
Excelente gracias
This is dangerous to do without gloves, in case anyone is thinking of trying it out
No, I want to see the hot metal printing process.
Army?
OMG😍

Who did the music for this video?
I was wondering the same throughout... it's by Kevin Macleod.
Восхитительно!!!
