9 (?) years later and this content is as helpful and fresh as the day it was made. Thank you 🙏

[@Certified_Art_Teacher]

Her method of registration must be flawless!! It is extremely difficult to make sure that the lino is correctly lined up through every layer. The odds of an off registration grows by every layer that is applied. That’s amazing! To find that method is an artwork of itself.

[@jamalfinnley4135]

I guess Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a way to log back into an instagram account..? I was dumb lost the login password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me.

[@enantiodromia]

A great artist and such a warm-hearted person!

[@GabdeVue]

I am a beginner in printmaking. While I work professionally as illustrator, printmaking is 'just' a hobby, because it's yet another whole gigantic field to learn and i have so much to learn in other fields as well. I am a bit at my wits end with that printproject i try to complete and took to youtube to figure out, how to properly color in the plate and then i come across this. Everything about this video is magnificent. From the enthusiasm and great questions asked to that absolutely lovely artist, who is on a whole other level with her amazing skill. There is so much knowledge and hard work in this. This encourages me to try... 2 colors instead of one next year ; ) I just want to thank you for this video. it was so instructive and I cannot comprehend how great those prints turn out with a hand-printing method. I am in awe and very, very inspired and encouraged!

[@spoonylettuces3902]

SHE IS WONDERFUL- YOUR WORK IS WONDERFUL

[@kathleenwalsh7334]

so inspired to print again! Fantastic!!!

[@theyarnalist6416]

Love the drying rack!

[@diannadiatz1140]

I am totally blown away by the phenomenal art in this video! I never would have guessed these were lino prints, but silkscreens. I've never seen reduced linocuts with so many colors and details! Anna's work is so unique as a printmaker. I'm definitely going to check out her website. She is so patient and persistent in pursuit (couldn't resist the alliteration lol) of her printmaking. My best wishes for her continued success as an artist! Thank you for sharing this wonderful Australian artist! Warmest regards, Dianna - Maryland, US

[@allisonjames2923]

The colours & drawings are spectacular! Really vivid pieces of art. And being able to break down her images into highlights, then various colours, all in reverse is definitely a talent.

[@winvestman9745]

Amazing with the colours.

[@cjsstudioart]

Thank you for sharing your talent.....just amazing Anna!

[@gabibuda2335]

🤗🤗🤗Amazing work! Lots of talent and dedication to make them. Congratulations and good luck!! 😀

[@belbe417]

Absolutely stunning Anna, Graeme I stumbled onto your channel as a happy mistake. lol forward to watching your shows. Anna is inspiring. ❤️

[@themusicofmikegoodwin]

What incredible work. Very inspirational. I imagine by the end of the print if you'd done everything right you'd be over the moon. I used a similar registration method once for screen printing and in the heat/excitement of the print run, kept putting them in the wrong way.

[@ColourinyourlifeAu]

we learn by our mistakes, LOL

[@give_peas_a_chance]

What absolutely beautiful work. Genius registration as well, so simple .

[@Gashinshoutan2009]

Wow, such a beautiful art. Vibrant colours and a reduction print method I still cannot get my head around. I am thinking of doing a multiblock print(just like the traditional Japanese woodblock prints) but I guess registration is key as well as the way you plan the colour and highlights.

[@astorybookfinish5055]

Lovely work by a lovely woman

[@cristianacriA]

Fantastica 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😍

[@aight33]

This is really inspiring! She's lovely and her work is insanely amazing!!!

[@missl1109]

[@BelindaPort]

This is out of this world! Will Anna consider teaching workshops at her studio or on line? Having 32 steps to completion is proof of an excellent artist. Fantastic!

[@paulrose7160]

Can't get over how great your talent is blooming marvel

[@ColourinyourlifeAu]

Thanks for your comments, they are greatly appreciated, Graeme

[@digimonjo]

[@AvionOrr]

Absolutely amazing.

[@solostar_z]

Amazing work. Wow.💗

[@Kalakleintje]

I really didn't know that Lino was a Dutch product (I am Dutch). I worked with this quite often when I was younder, but never to this massive extend. Respect for your patient and sight ahead for the end result. As we say in Dutch: Petje af!

[@nataliemccall7291]

Absolutely spectacular work! Thank you for this wonderful video 😊

[@jennyhughes4474]

WOW! Absolutely stunning prints, I love the style, SO beautiful and I can't believe how exact the registration is = I've tried and it's impossible! Love the Harley, love both your accents - I'm english (but live in France). Thank you for this - puts my lino-work (and other art) to shame - I've got LOTS to learn!

[@jeanmilhollin5176]

Currently studying xilography. You work is amazing! Its so detailed and colourful! Thank you for the interview and showing your process!

[@smithdraws]

Witnessing her mastery is like being in awe of a majestic mountain and at the same time despairing at the effort it would take to climb it’s slopes; But the view from the top must be worth the climb!

[@ColourinyourlifeAu]

Thanks for your comments, they are greatly appreciated, Graeme

[@jaqst117]

These are beau❤iful . I live in the states …can you recommend on how to get started ? Any books that will be helpful? Thanks for the video!

[@annaguettabi3974]

where is this in Australia? It's sooo beautiful!

[@smellyrhinostudio]

what brand of baren are you using?

[@itsjudystube]

Now I nearly understand the reduction process. Time to get the lino out. What was the rubbing/ buffing pad that was used please? X

[@Fibers-Art-Food-Fundamentals]

Well, it's been 7 years I see, but it is called a Baren.

[@grienecheez]

Jawdropping

[@silviariley4285]

Is this water or oil ink.

[@ColourinyourlifeAu]

+Silvia Riley I think they are water based Inks, Graeme

[@settingnoahfree]

+Silvia Riley she said oil ink in the video! makes sense for these prints with so many layers. water based ink doesn't work that well for reduction prints, i'd say! :)

[@samoalajackson4345]

Please let the artist explain.

[@youlemur]

As a young man, I have to say this woman is incredibly hot.

[@ColourinyourlifeAu]

LOL, we have filmed some very attractive ladies over the years. Janet Knight, Jo Frederiks and Cindy Hutton are all gorgeous women. Anna is no exception, Graeme

[@elaine54321creations]

I would love to sit at her feet. SUPER, SUPER TALENTED.

[@shelleydup7063]

P

[@LinoCrafts]

An incredible Lino carver!!! the way this guy takes prints makes me cringe though....

[@shepdoganimations6360]

Typical Aussie fella yapping on LET THE SHIELA SPEAK MATE! Is the penny dropping?

[@ColourinyourlifeAu]

LOL, yeah alright cobber, LOL

[@1Ma9iN8tive]

Those parts Graeme where you start mansplaining her process “...while the lady you just called a master is standing next to you thinking ... ssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...” ha ha ha

[@ColourinyourlifeAu]

I dont understand what mansplaining is, never heard of that term?

[@TrishCurtis]

This is great - awesome work!
