Gary Ratushniak on the Art of Linocut

Gary Ratushniak talks about his linocut printmaking process.

[@girliedog]

A very inspiring and detailed demonstration by Mr. Ratushniak. His work is beautifully crafted. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@ortus37]

A very knowledgeable speaker and the whole piece is like watching a masterclass in Linocut printing. I very much enjoyed the video - Shelley, I think it is very well filmed and edited.

[@ShelleyMcPhee]

Thank you so much ortus37. I really enjoyed this project and am looking forward to working on more. If there's anything in particular you would like to see, let me know.

[@verd3]

I live how you completely leave out the color separation part. which is like the most important part of this process

[@daisy3690]

extremely excellent film and workmanship, both fine art. thank you so much for sharing. bye

[@theresedignard7445]

Awesome technique. Great composition. Thanks for sharing. Love the simplicity of his home studio. Guess an excuse of not enough space to work, will no longer be in my vocabulary.

[@tinaneillings8006]

wow, this gave me great insight on how to analyze your print with regard to colour and subject matter. Being new to printmaking Its probably the type of tutorial I needed without knowing I needed it (I've seen a lot of videos on the basics but not analyzing). Also hopefully I will stop being so disappointed when my prints don't work at first, its just part of the process (its going to teach me patience I suppose!). Thanks allot for this

[@TheoKitching]

Clear filming, even clearer sound, and a fantastic speaker! Thanks for this very interesting and informative video.

[@ShelleyMcPhee]

Thanks for your comments Theo, much appreciated!

I am a huge admirer of Gary I only wish I was in a position to purchase one of his beautiful prints. Thanks so much for posting this.

[@williamjones2273]

Why don't you offer to buy one on the "installment plan"? Most artists don't mind receiving a series of post-dated cheques from a purchaser.

Me encanta su manera de trabajar. Es simplemente inspirador su trabajo. Gracias por este video, buscaba algo así , completo.

[@nncoco]

I like the image more than the other artists making prints in KZbin demos. So much hand work. I used to import a product made from that paper. The Koreans call it Hanji paper. Amazing material.

[@karenkempson5363]

fantastic Gary Ratushniak is an inspiration very informative great filming and sound.

[@nancyjacobi]

Very clearly explained at an easy pace. Thanks Gary!

[@serenakiril]

Thank you for sharing this! It was wonderful.

[@comontoshi]

Impressive workstation! 👍👍😘

[@seanocean]

these are brilliant concepts on registration, and materials.

[@kalttrabant]

fantastic artwork, i couldn't like it more!

[@Candyinthevan]

you can try squeezing the oil paint onto a sheet of newsprint and letting it sit for a bit to absorb some of the oil, then put it onto your glass. it will help make the oil paint similar to the consistency of printing ink, and may help u be able to use some of the other papers you may want to try by cutting down on the bleeding

[@bassmakamal6137]

Thank you for sharing! I learned alot.

amazing artist

[@semperidem2577]

4.39 I'm not sure I'd be advocating carving in that manner, one slip and it's right into your hand.

[@alisonhenry820]

Agreed! Should always cut AWAY from yourself

[@cerealsilk]

Thanks for the video. I'm a bit confused about how many lino plates you used to make the final print. Is there one plate for every color? How do you register them all?

[@BettyOs]

Looks like the registration is measured into the block its self. Good idea to use the push pins, once it does it once the holes are there for the whole print run.

[@reddfox5028]

Does he know you can get a even better effect with a rolling pin?..or tape sponge into the pin which will have the same effect as to getting into the groves..the spoon is taxing..

[@goilo888]

Pretty sure he's well aware of all his options. And this is how he has chosen to work.

[@humbertoperez817]

HI! I wonder......do you use oil ink?? cause I saw you showing it before inking.

[@goilo888]

He uses oil PAINT.

[@juliaellis4391]

I admire your skills but your cutting techniques look unsafe from what I can see at 4:44. You could so easily hurt yourself if your tools were to slip off course. I'm a novice but have been taught to always cut away from myself, using a board that holds the lino firmly in place on the table. I'm guessing you're very experienced but beginners could injure themselves if they copy some of your techniques.

[@junellealvarez586]

can you apply heat to vinyl to carve it easier ?

[@isaiah_mdl]

Printmaking Teachers: ALWAYS cut away from yourself. ALWAYS. Cutting towards yourself is unacceptable and anyone who does so will likely cut themselves and will be punished. This guy: I do what I want

[@annbritton1669]

he is an adult, and if i could get the results he gets id cut anyway that suited me

[@isaiah_mdl]

Ann Britton He may be an adult but you, apparently, are not

[@pkattk]

To be fair, he's keeping his arm resting on the surface of the table and only using his wrist to make the action. There's not a lot of danger of the tool slipping and his whole arm moving toward him if the only thing he's engaging is his wrist. It's probably a more comfortable movement when you're not concerned with detail and just need to clear material.

[@Ositored1]

You have a great Technique simple unique, check the Style of Clemente Orozco Famous extremely Mexican Pinter.....

[@seansverige]

Evidently a fan of Cyril Power - so much so my first thought that this was a reproduction of one of his prints

[@michaeldellacava]

Oil paint on unprimed paper will rot the fibers away. I hope you are aware of this.

[@meltdowngrfx969]

Michael Dellacava I have made mono prints on paper with oil paint. Over time the paper has yellowed with a translucent effect.

[@juneholly433]

Did I missed something... "Officialy finished"??? First lino isnt the last in your short film( not tutorial), so why you combined them...? Also... Please , i know you are An Artist, but Please dont give bad examples... Do not cut lino through yourdelf. Health and safety. Peace✌
