What about mounted Lino blocks? I have considered a 1x4 frame around with the block in the middle but I’m concerned about accuracy with more variables like that
@theweekendbeckons943914 сағат бұрын
I haven't used mounted Lino blocks in a while because they don't fit in my press. They have slightly taller pins, which might help with thicker mounted blocks.

I've never had that happen. Are you using the 2mm thick lead? How hard are you pressing while sharpening? It doesn't really need much pressure.

I wished you had used real Alizarin Crimson. Most Alizarin Crimson "hues" contain a quinacridone (magenta, red, rose, etc.) as its base (or sometimes, as the only pigment).

Actually, the Staedler Mars does have a lead sharpener on the top… it’s the hole on the top of the button. It’s not on the inside hole like other lead pointers, it’s on the outside. It won’t get as sharp as your lead sharpener you bought, but it works good enough. Only downside is when you finish, you should dump the graphite out of the cap.

@theweekendbeckons9439Ай бұрын
Not exactly. You could try a raw umber, which is an inexpensive paint available from most paint companies.. It's definitely a brown but could be considered towards a greyed-out brown. You could also add a touch of raw umber or an orangey-yellow (like a cadmium yellow medium) to a grey to warm it up a touch.

INSTRUCTIONS that came with Sta-Wet : 1-SOAK - just one piece- of the white paper sheets in HOT TAP WATER. (I fill up my clean sink about 1-2 inches of hot water to do this) OR put piece of white paper in a microwave safe bowl & microwave 3-5min or until water boils. 2- YELLOW SPONGE is to be SOAKED in cold water & wring out 1/2 of the water of sponge. 3- Place the SPONGE in first, smooth side up, then your paper. Use a paper towel to wipe off excess water. If it’s the 1st time using sponge- rinse it thoroughly under RUNNING water. DARK COLORS sometime bleed so FYI CLEAN UP- simply rinse out the sponge, you can do the same with the paper. Doesn’t have to be perfect! Especially if you’re using good quality paints. ❤

Thanks for posting! I reached out to the company to clarify. The information on not putting the ink down the drain only applies to the ink alone. When cleaning with soap, it's perfectly safe and acceptable to allow that to go down the drain. Make sure to remove any large amounts of leftover ink before you apply the soap, of course!

very nice video thank you, although i did find the part were you show the chart a little confusing. reading the color graduations from left to right i'm not sure how you got to the five yellow ochre to start with, and then is it a 80% lemon yellow/20% yellow ochre and then a 50%lemon yellow /50% yellow ochre so in the mixing order your doing left to right?
@theweekendbeckons94395 ай бұрын
Thank you! On the chart, the first five mixes are yellow ochre with increasing amounts of titanium white. In the lemon yellow section, the left mix is mostly lemon yellow and a little yellow ochre. The next mix, I just added some white to tint the first mix. Then the third mix is just a little lemon yellow with mostly yellow ochre, and the fourth mix is the third mix plus titanium white. I hope that help and I'll try to be clearer in future videos.
