You are gifted both in your ability to print and to teach. Every word was important. No blabla, slow enough to having time to digest. This - for me - is the best film on youtube. You should be proud of it! Thank you very much
By far one of the best and most concise tutorials on reduction linocut techniques. To have the "print state" suite just adds to the value of this lesson. Mahalo Christina!
I've watched a lot of reduction linocut how-tos and yours is head and shoulders above the rest! I'm off to try it myself tomorrow, feeling a bit more confident after watching this! Thanks!
Thank you for producing such a clear and concise demonstration of reduction linocut technique! This is the best example I've found-easy to follow and with just the right amount of information. I would really love to see a how-to of a couple simple registration techniques. I'm having a lot of trouble with that. :)
When she sets the inked lino cut onto the bed of the press, she places the 'guides' around the lino (the 2 right angle / corner pieces). These corner pieces then have additional 'guides' or slots(?) on top of them which are set out to the dimensions of the paper she is printing on - these guides allow the paper to sit on top of the inked lino in the exact place each time. Once the paper is sitting on the inked surface, she removes the guides and then prints.
I really enjoyed this demonstration. I did note that when cutting out the blue you had to leave the lines for the black. I would have assumed that the blue blob would be just cut out but then you would have lost those black lines. This is a very important point to understand the reduction process. And I just also realised the same goes for the red and yellow. I've learnt a lot from this video, thanks.
Amazing tutorial! I appreciate so much your sharing the technique used by Picasso. It is complex, but you have easily broken down the steps to make it easy to follow. Be especially blessed!!!
I just got started in printmaking. bought my first lino cut few days back. And this video helped me understand Reduction Lino cut in such a beautiful way that it felt like I made the work... Thank you Taylor. I hope to now try my hands at Reduction technique and as you said "Reduction tech. is not a simple process. It requires some serious planning...." and this is what I am looking for right now, something new something challenging :)
Thank you Christina for this excellent demonstration of Picasso’s famous technique. This video is a very clear demonstration and very well presented thank you.
Brilliant demo ! Thank you . This is a hard technique for me to get my head around - it is a very different way of thinking . Kind regards - Judi - Australia
Thanks for your well organized, eloquent 'how to' of reductive lino printing. i've shied away from the technique due to the amount of planing required. You have simplified the steps for me.
Very well explained and demonstrated. I almost forgot about this process. I imagine with some forthought and a graphic tool like Photoshop, you can realize that various layers before cutting the actual linoleum block.
Excellent way of showing the reduction technique. I especially liked inking the background first. Planning is needed and the step-by-step was really helpful.
Wonderfully demonstrated and explained. Thank you very much. Now I just need to make an image that I can print using this technique which you have so wonderfully illuminated...
Great video! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge of Picasso and this cool technique. Your demonstration was so simple and easy to understand. I learned a lot!
This is such a great tutorial & workshop video presentation. It makes you realize & understand that the "art" is the entire process behind the final print (no pun intended, lol). And now, I truly believe that's the way both artists envisioned it to be. Not the 1 print outcome/result, but the creative & labor intensive process needed to achieve it. Genius!
Thank you Christina for this wonderful demonstration of this beautiful print (great job btw!). I am in the process (planning phase) of doing a reduction print. My print will be my Christmas card that I will be giving to family and friends this year. I want to do about 30 prints. So I had better get going. Thanks again, take care.
Dear Christina, Thank you for such a measured and thoughtful video on this interesting process. I just finished a short course on it and I'm intrigued with the strategy needed for planning these kinds of images. Picasso's print was a great example and you dissected it brilliantly!
I would recommend doing a colour drawing on paper first, to plan the image, and use 4-5 maximum colours. THEN you can move on to the printing/cutting on a separate block of wood. Use your colour plan as a guide...
You are gifted both in your ability to print and to teach. Every word was important. No blabla, slow enough to having time to digest. This - for me - is the best film on youtube. You should be proud of it! Thank you very much
I agree with this! I was amazed the whole video with her maginificent talent and ability to teach and share knowledge! Congrats and thank you!
Those prints are one of a kind, indeed, since it cannot be reproduced again and again like they do now by using different plates. 👍😊
GIFTED?! ahaha
Excellent teacher. Talented artist and craftsperson. Thanks for sharing this.

You can do it! Let us know how it goes!

I have watched this multiple times and I cannot tell how you are ensuring they line up correctly.
When she sets the inked lino cut onto the bed of the press, she places the 'guides' around the lino (the 2 right angle / corner pieces).

I really enjoyed this and learned a lot. Best part is when the editions done it's over.
Just great explained! Thank you.
You're great. I will project a similar thing before my exam in 29th July. Thanks 4 your demonstration.

Helpful tips for my first reduction linocut print.
Very clear modelling of the lino printing technique! Feeling more confident to work with my y9 students but only using 2 colours - time restrictions!
Thank you it is very interesting!
Not a second wasted! Thank you!
This was an excellent demonstration. Thanks for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!

Love all your videos on Printing.
Thankyou so much! Taking a class at Crystal Bridges in linocut and this makes it more clear.
Cool, thanks for this. I didn’t know Picasso did Lino cut printing, very interesting.
thank you for understanding to make colorful printing.
Awesome explanation....
Excellent Demonstration!
This is amazing , not sure i can get away with perfecting it without a machine but cool method I will forsure play with in the future .
