How to make a wood engraving
Вставка

- There's something magical about the centuries-old art of wood engraving, in which an artist uses the same tools used to engrave jewellery to create extraordinarily detailed prints. Anne Desmet RA is one of only three wood engravers to be elected as Academicians in the Royal Academy's nearly 250-year history. Here, she takes us through each step in creating a wood engraving, from tracing the original drawing through to printing a first proof.
Anne Desmet RA is one of only three wood engravers to be elected as Academicians in the Royal Academy’s nearly 250-year history. She is an experienced printmaking tutor and was editor of Printmaking Today from 1998-2013. In this video, she takes us through each step in creating a wood engraving, including tips on how to use traditional tools like the diamond graver and the spitsticker.
A signed print of San Severino Marche is available as a special edition of 40 with Anne Desmet’s new book Italian Journey: shop.royalacademy.org.uk/book...

"Not bad" typical English understatement, I think it is excellent. Very nice work. Thank you for posting this video I found it very instructive.
Absolutely beautiful works and brilliantly explained - Thank you so much for sharing 🌈
What praise can I give that no one else has?...Except maybe that so much important and helpful information is communicated so clearly in a mere 6 minutes.
Wow! Wonderful to see someone who has really mastered their art and can pass it on in easy to understand language and an excellent demonstration.
Being a former Intaglio printer I really enjoyed this. Takes me back to watching the Engravers working on the plates .
Whoa, that was amazing from selecting the image, to carving to printing. I enjoyed knowing about the tools as well. Thank you.
This is great, and just what I needed for my introductory art history students, thank you!
Excellent description of the different types of carving tools. The best I've seen. Thanks!
My favourite kind of printing now shown in detail. Thank you so much!
loved this and the print too.
beautiful artwork by a lovely teacher and artist!
Thank you for such a comprehensive video! It's been really helpful.
Amazing!! I am a huge fan of Gustave Doré, now I understand better how much work went into his art. Thank you
Final Out gave me goose bumps. Very well done !!!
thoroughly absorbed watching you create this. Thank you for sharing
Beautiful. There is something special about woodcut engravings!
Brilliant work! I didn't knew how it was made, thanks for sharing!
Wow! Beautiful work.
So far, the most instructional video on tool use I've seen. Thanks!!
Wow! I am speechless with the absolutely splendid result. I didn't know anything about wood engraving until I saw your video today. I am writing a series of articles on woodworking and, wood engraving is one of the topics that I have to write about. This video tells me everything I need to know to explain what wood engraving is. Awesome video and great work!
Great video. Thank you Anne Desmet RA for the valuable information. Best Wishes from Australia.
The wood block engraving itself is a thing of beauty.
Absolutely stunning Madame, you make it look so easy. What a wonderful skill to have.
Thank you so much. I've always been a huge fan of Gustav Dorè's work and I've never understood how it was created. Thank you for filling me in.
Holy Wow this was amazing!!!
What a lovely engraving! I really enjoyed whatching this video.
Greetings from a Marches inhabitant.
This is so inspiring. Thank you.
Amazing work!
I love these kind of artworks
Nice to watch the birth of a lovely engraving
Lovely little nuances about the tools (and their history), techniques and effects -- that are missing in many instructional videos. Well done!
Really beautiful job !
Absolutely incredible ❤
amazing work! Very helpful
Thank you so much for this outstanding video. I'm trying to learn endgrain woodblock engraving, and I know of no one who does it. Proper woodblock material to engrave and information about tools and engraving technique are in short supply. This brief video is the most helpful resource I've found anywhere. Please produce more like this. Hearing the artist's voice describe what she's doing as she works is wonderful.
Simply beautiful.
love your very calm manner. Pleasant to watch. Thanks for the content
This work is a source of calm and serenity, although many others have experienced frustration when things slip away from their expectations.
Beautiful result
I want that press! Very good work. Inspiring. I'm making a move from gallery art to illustration, and this vid is very helpful. Thanks!
I just finished reading Susie Hodge's "The short story of art" and came here to understand how woodcut is made. Great explanation, thanks!
Beautiful!
Wow, I think the illustration turned out BEAUTIFUL, so bright and detailed and fantastic! Also love how even her shirt fits the aesthetic:)
I mean the black and white squiggly one that looks like a woodcut!
i thought of an idea earlier that lead me to this video, i have already learned so much valuable information. thank you :)
That is truly amazing .
amazing
OMG such talent!
Very beautiful and wonderful!
Lovely video , thank you!
Anne you will remember that I have two of your unique collages, one the leaning tower and the other a round building with a moat. Good to see you in real life in this UA-cam. Excellent description of the process. You pictures are hanging in my home in :Los Angeles. Best, Leon Fine
This video is superb! I learned so much! And the artist is AMAZING

Just , I love it
Fabulous. More than i was hoping for. I want to explore this medium!! What kind of wood do you recommend?
good job
bravo! Just what I needed to try making my own engraving burins!
This reminds me of Bewick's woodcuts. This lady is putting woodblocks back on the art map--where they should be.
Wow, I just can't say thank you enough for creating and sharing such a wonderful video. I am searching for as much information as possible that I can find on the art of wood engraving; and this video is by far the most comprehensive and helpful video I have come across. Wonderful video and spectacular wood engraving created. I would love to see more videos on wood engraving as well as other traditional printmaking techniques from Royal Academy of Arts in the future.
Thank you Efrin! We're pleased you enjoyed it. Are there any particular printmaking techniques you'd like to see us explore?
Thank you for your reply! I would love to see more wood engraving techniques, perhaps by additional artists, that would be really nice. I would also find it interesting to see Japanese wood block carving and printing by The Royal Academy of Arts.
We actually have a video on Japanese woodblock printing already! Here it is: ua-cam.com/video/CeMAuIErLgs/v-deo.html Enjoy.
Wow, thank you so much! I am very impressed!!

Loved it! The roller woke up all my pets 😹

Hey can i ask you where did u getting from your wood plates.and what kind of wood is best for that?thnx
Amazing skills! All of these old school, haptic artforms makes digital stuff look like just poor and hollow.
Thanks..!
amazingggg...
Bravo Congratulations 👏👏👏👏👏
This looks really nice! We too engrave our Sunglasses on the Arms with polynesian designs :)
What kind of wood is recommended for this type of work? Would it have to be treated in some way before engraving?
Very, very impressive work! Albrecht Dürer would have been proud 😉
Although AD is said to have farmed out the cutting process to others, after designing his work.
Can you suggest to me where I can purchase the tools you used. I'm very much interested in engraving.
I'd like to learn this art...
bravissimo xxx
I love that to do
wow!!!
wooow super !
Is the distorted perspective intentional?
Receive Greetings...!!!
Beautiful art and work process too.want to know about type of wood,this black colour,tools and all the process.hope I will receive the knowledge from all of you...

What is that ink roller made of?
Do you have any tool and/or tool size recommendations for someone who is interested in getting started with wood engraving?
please!
Great detailed instructional video. Most never mention the tools used. If we knew the tools to use? Why would we watch?
que madera utiliza?? vivo en america del norte
Hi! Which type of wood do you use?
What type of ink or paint do you think is best to use?
what type of press is used in woodcut?
Lovely voice
Cool! Uou!!! Show!!
What kind of wood did you used for this work ? Thanks .
HI Alexandru, this is Boxwood.
beautifullllllllll
♥
Not bad at all :D wow
Good afternoon, my name is Ricardo, l like very good, congratulations 😇👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Don't underestimate yourself, say it, you're amazing! (For the "not bad" bit 😅)
Just a question: What if you painted the wood block in white ink instead of black so that when you traced onto the wood, the graphite would show up without having to retrace over it?
That's actually possible. For instance I preffer to draw directly in the wood using a Sharpie or something similar.
OMG!!!! That is just so amazing!!!
The reason I'm here is to find out about wood carving technique. If you folks think what is done here is fantastic. Look up....Gustave Dore. His art work is wood engraved!!! His details in his wood carving images ....totally mind boggling.
