Hello, i am a linoengraver myself and i find this film doing justice to the work we must do in order to get just a few prints. Its great to see you doiing your art! And also i love the good camerawork and points of vieuw
Not only are you a master lino printer (your patience is legendary), but you are an amazing videographer ! Lovely camera work and excellent sound quality. Thank you so much for sharing.
Unbelievably impressed with your creativity, patience, and the result! Am about to do my first little linocut but this has changed my mind about how amazing this skill can be.
Amazzzzzing! I was speechless from beginning to end. The dedication and determination are just commendable. And your camera angles where spot on. Thank you for sharing, I could watch this over and over.
This was an amazing video. As I'm more interested in creating the textures of designs vs. literal trees or flowers or portraits, it was just what I needed to see. And realize that patience is not my strong suit so I'll need to adjust to get the effects I want. Ha! Ha! The answers to my questions are in the comments so I'll just say thank you very much!
So amazing to watch this done for such a large print! Loved watching your process. This definitely gave me the courage to try my hand at larger, more complicated pieces. I love the use of the acrylic at the beginning to help give you a better base to draw on.
Loved watching you create this piece it’s very calming to watch, do you find it meditative whilst your working I would imagine you do. I always find I zone out and the world disappears when the flow hits
Oh this is fantastic to watch dear Aga! It is the first time I see a white liquid being applied bevor cutting in to the Lino. Makes much sense. Yep! Is it white paint or something a bit more special ?
Virkelig fantastisk 🤩 Er selv liige begyndt at lege lidt med linoleumstryk og det er virkelig fedt at arbejde med - selvom selve print delen driller mig en del 😅 Du er jo bare sindssygt dygtig 🙌🏼😱 Er totalt blown away! Nu er det jo noget tid siden, men er totalt nysgerrig på hvor mange timer du brugte på at skære det ud 🙈
So much fun watching, and in particular taking a time for some tea! I love carving and sometimes really don't care if I print or not. I would appreciate if you could tell me the white liquid you brushed onto the linoleum prior to drawing. You Tube is terrific where I can see the art processes. Thank you hugely!
This is a hugely impressive piece of work. Funny, but it’s very relaxing just to watch the carving. Nice video production too. I love the sound of the paper lifting from the lino.
This was absolutely incredible to watch from start to finish! Each section was its own kind of satisfying, the freehand whorls and the sound of the marker, the ink mixing, the many many prints, the carving, carving, carving! I was enthralled. And thank you for the multiple camera angles, so beautifully shot too! Very very pleasing, thanks for sharing the entire process with us! The ultimate piece is a mesmerising work of art. I'm curious, I noticed you were cutting off/shaping the nib of your marker a couple times in the beginning, around 4:55 minutes. May I ask how you do it and why you find that helps? Thanks for answering so many questions in the comments too, it's been very helpful for a beginner like myself!
I'm so glad you like my work! the reason why i shape the tip of the pen is simply to make it thinner/sharper, it was getting a little too fuzzy for my liking 😊
Thanks so much for not add any background sound/jingles/music. Your linocut is so beautiful, very increadable. I would like say: do you know J. Borges? He is a great woodcutting man from Brasil.
Hello @@emilunderbjerg. I came back to refer to another great Brazilian woodcutter: Gilvan Samico. In my view, I see a similarity to his style. Consider researching it. As a departure I leave the link for this print: 1 - www.spotart.com.br/uploads/job/ailha54_5x94_5_2008.jpg 2 - artepopularbrasil.blogspot.com/2011/09/samico.html?m=1 I speak again: your artistic work is beautiful. You are a true printmaker!!!
dear Aga, just watched your video again and am even more fascinated by which ease you ink and print! The end result is spectacular! I wonder..., you did cut the Lino once the work (of cutting) was finished, right? Why do I see a black line going around the edges once printed ? and another question if you please, ...is this floorlinoleum ? I have old dry linoleum and think of buying new one ; ))
OMG! I am so in awe! Thank you for filming your creation! Love to have this! I will try to do linocut in the future as it is detail orientated, love detail and tedious work. thank you
how come you mix multiple colours in addition to the black? and whats that clear substance you added to the mix? im interested in printmaking so im curious :] your work is very nice
that's a great question! i like mixing in different colors in the black ink because it adds depth to it. even though you can't really see it, it makes the black more vibrant I'm a nice way. the clear substance is called wiping compound or tack reducer. it helps with the consistency of the ink. hope it helps!
Great artwork! Which part did you use "paperlike ipad screen protector " and " label release backing paper for the transfer"? Did you paint in white using liquitex gloss heavy gel? Thanks.
Also by doing this it’s much easier to see where you’ve taken from as it reveals a completely different colour so not only can you see your lines but salon the bits taken away =]
I am curious of what the white paint is to be able to draw on this and what mixes you are using? clear, white, red, black and blue? What that for color or is it a thickening or what? thank you!
Hola desde Valencia, España, Enhorabuena por tu trabajo. Espectacular. Me encanta. Te quería preguntar, qué tipo de tinta o colorante blanco le pones antes de empezar a dibujar? Muchas gracias
amazing!! i’ve just started working with lino and i really enjoy it ! except i just finished carving it out and i completely forgot that it prints backwards so the writing is the wrong way! oh well i’ll just have to practice some more great work!! :)
Hello from Valencia, Spain, Congratulations on your work. Spectacular. I love it. I wanted to ask you, what kind of ink or white dye do you put on it before you start drawing? Thanks a lot
@@emilunderbjerg Grateful Emil! I think you used an L12 / 0.5 (Format V) gouge in the beginning and then an L12 / 4 gouge. Would these be? But I still have doubts if there were no U-shaped gouges.
i only use u-shaped gouges actually, but I'm afraid i dont know the specific details about them. but i think you're right that they're from the L series 🌿
one is called "wiping compund - tack reducer" it helps with the ink consistency, makes it easier to print. the other is just white ink, i like to put a small amount of a different color into my black, makes the color more rich i think
hi Isabel, thank you for your question, the gel is just acrylic paint mixed with water, i paint it on to make the lines easier to see when i draw them 🙂
This is incredible. What gouges or carving tools did you use? I'm trying to figure out how to use different tools and mostly end up using a super small v. Do you sharpen your own and what do you use to sharpen? Thanks!
thank you! i use Pfeil carving tools all U shaped. i use a small arkansas oilstone to sharpen and a slipstrop from flexcut tools to hone the cutting edge. hope it helps!
@@shericemitchell6230 it's from a shop called aart de vos, it's in aarhus, denmark. i dont think the lino is especially easy to carve, rather i am using rally sharp carving knives
If Van Gogh made Linol! 😁👌 Impressive work!🙏 Did you cut off any lines, accidentally? Just curious as it does not show, but I am always such a critic towards my own art- and ditched linoleum because I was frustrated that I couldn't fix my mistakes as easily as with drawing 😅 But is it fair to say this craft can't be done without a few mistakes tho- when making such a big piece, at least? I feel like you are some kind of superpatient genius if that is not the case for your huge work such as this!!! 😁
i usually make a cutting mistake or two, i dont remember specifically for this print though. but for me, the mistakes are often more interesting than the planned version, as i have to find a way to make them work with the rest of the piece. i guess you could try fixing it by removing and replacing a piece of the linoleum, but i would much rather just figure out how to make the mistake work instead :) as for my finger, it is permanently bent, no way it'll go back to being straight :D

This is the ASMR video the world needed
just discovered you on my friday night. got my wine and here we go. what a wonderful and delicate job, this is truly amazing :)
that sounds like a perfect way to watch! im glad you like it, thank you for being here :)
Nice, I was just enjoying this video sipping on my wine too!
Not only are you a master lino printer (your patience is legendary), but you are an amazing videographer ! Lovely camera work and excellent sound quality. Thank you so much for sharing.
thank you so much donna!
At first, I thought it would be unimaginably tedious, but the close views of the cutting make it look really satisfying. And wow, thank you!
well it's a bit of both actually, haha!
Both a spontaneous and planned process. Incredible patience.
:)
Unbelievably impressed with your creativity, patience, and the result! Am about to do my first little linocut but this has changed my mind about how amazing this skill can be.
hope your linocut turned out well!
Thank you for that overwhelmingly pleasant marker sound. Just music to my ears! xD
im glad you like the sounds! ive been trying to focus more on the audio side, but it's still a challenge for me to really capture the ASMR feel
This is an INSANE undertaking. it was a wonderful process to watch. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazzzzzing! I was speechless from beginning to end. The dedication and determination are just commendable. And your camera angles where spot on. Thank you for sharing, I could watch this over and over.

Fabulous. I’ve just bought a press and the inks and lino should arrive soon. So pumped to begin the whole process after watching videos like yours.
sounds great, hope you have fun and make some great prints!
So amazing to watch this done for such a large print! Loved watching your process. This definitely gave me the courage to try my hand at larger, more complicated pieces. I love the use of the acrylic at the beginning to help give you a better base to draw on.

im glad you liked it! the white liquid simply white acrylic paint mixed with water
@@emilunderbjerg why do you put white acrylic?
just so it's easier for me to see the black lines from the marker 🙂
@@emilunderbjerg I think this is a great idea. It also allows you to see very well what is carved and what is not with the color change.
I’ve made quite a few linocuts in my life but holy shit girl. I could never have this much patience! Beautiful piece!
haha, thank you :)
Lol damn girl... I mean guy. Hahaha
very nice work, the quality of time is everlasting in quality of workmanship. Enjoyed your video. thank you

Fantastic work! Truely aweinspiering!
I've been looking for a new linoleum that can hold my details better, which kind do you use?
im glad you like my work!
i am not quite sure about the kind of lino, it's either called forbo or best, or maybe walton. i hope it helps :)
Great artwork! Which part did you use "paperlike ipad screen protector " and " label release backing paper for the transfer"? Did you paint in white using liquitex gloss heavy gel? Thanks.
hi, for this project i didnt use those two products, ill remove them from the description ^_^
I love this! Why do you paint the watered down acrylic at start? What is the purpose of doing that? Thank you, great video
by painting it white its easier for me to see the black lines i draw because the linoleum is brown. glad you like the video :)
Also by doing this it’s much easier to see where you’ve taken from as it reveals a completely different colour so not only can you see your lines but salon the bits taken away =]
Sooo beautiful
I am in awe 😱😍
Amazing!!! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️

great work!! :)
haha, ah yes, that has happened for me as well ^_^
amazing! can you tell me what kind and where i can get that linoleum? thank you!

haha, yes! i hope i can make my videos even more ASMR in the future, im still figuring out where to place the microphone and such :)
Do you start your planning with the size of the paper and margins? I noticed you adjusted the print area later was that to fit it to the paper?
yes, exactly. i had originally planned a margin of only around 2 cm, but decided it would look better with a wider margin
such a good idea about taping your ink tube!
so beautiful!
thank you!
Beautiful work. What for Colour was the white one? Greetings from Switzerland
i mix the black ink with both a white ink and something called "wiping compound tack reducer" - it helps with the consistency of the ink :)
Well done🖐🏿😀🖐🏿
thank you!
What linoleum did you use ? Great work !
its by forbo/best ✌️
Very nice, I've always wondered about this type of art, Thank you!
I'm glad you liked it!
Beautiful work. Tedious 😵
It really is! but i like it ^_^
killin' my teeth, but I dig it!!
Hello , this is amazing ! what sort of paper do you use?
thank you! i use japanese kozo, around 100g/m2
what are those clear and white liquid thingy after the black ink o_O
one is called "wiping compund - tack reducer" it helps with the ink consistency, makes it easier to print. the other is just white ink, i like to put a small amount of a different color into my black, makes the color more rich i think
Amazing!!!🖤🖤🖤💥💥
thank you!
Impressive work!
But I'm curious: what were you listening to?
thank you! I'm afraid i don't remember what i was listening to 😊
As you are that gentle, I dare asking you a question: What is the gel for?
A)Giving more texture to the final result?
B) Giving color to the linoleum so you are more comfortable to carve?
C) Carving the gel itself instead of the linoleum?
hi Isabel, thank you for your question, the gel is just acrylic paint mixed with water, i paint it on to make the lines easier to see when i draw them 🙂
@@emilunderbjerg Thanks a lot! You are a true artist!
you're welcome!
This is incredible. What gouges or carving tools did you use? I'm trying to figure out how to use different tools and mostly end up using a super small v. Do you sharpen your own and what do you use to sharpen? Thanks!
To follow up on that, seeing how smoothly your cut goes through makes me feel like I definitely need to figure out better sharpening skills.
thank you! i use Pfeil carving tools all U shaped. i use a small arkansas oilstone to sharpen and a slipstrop from flexcut tools to hone the cutting edge. hope it helps!
Hi,
May i know, what is type of liquid that you used on lino?
it is just white acrylic paint mixed with water ✨
What kind of ink do you use? Love these videos, congrats
i use cranfield safewash relief inks :)

thank you! it's Japanese kozo paper 🌿
Insane 👏💯

i dont actually know - it's the only kind they have where i buy art supplies
