I can't thank you enough for this video. I'm just getting started with linocut and this sort of design theory for the medium what I've been looking for.

Linocut requires such dedication and skills. But the result is mesmerizing. It's very beautiful the sketch and your work.

Great informative video and beautiful work! Awesome choice of reference prints also, two of my favourite artists especially Ramon 💀

Inspiring! Thank you Nicole! 😊

Thank you, such an interesting video! Your work is so beautiful and I really got a lot out of your explanations of your process.

Очень прекрасная книга, мне нравятся ваши линогравюры. Карлики одобряют.

*Nicole Irwood*  ---   You seem like a very confident and competent artist and I thank you for your time. However, I was hoping for information on the choice of color in respect to how it will look when placed one over another. I have tried reduction printing, but some of the colors looked awful when layered. Are there some knowledge guidelines to employ or is it a matter of trial / error / experience over time?

*Viewers* ---  Ms Irwood is absolutely correct when she says that drawing can be learned. I suggest getting an inexpensive sketchbook, a few drawing pencils, an eraser, and a pencil sharpener (sharpeners do NOT stay sharp forever!). Draw something at least every day - your foot, your bowl of cereal, a bush in your yard, anything. When you fill your book up, compare the 1st drawing to the last - you WILL see improvement! Now, start the next sketchbook and keep going with the process. Keep checking back to admire your progress!

*Pro-tip  ---   To draw a straight line, put a faint dot where you want the line to end, then put your pencil where you want it to begin and draw. Do NOT watch your hand or the pencil, but that dot you made. Voila! You CAN draw a straight line.

Thank you again for your video, and seeing you adjust the sketch when transferring it to the block was really useful. Please could I ask a couple of questions? What brand of fixing spray do you use? Can you roll water based ink over the fixing spray surface or do you have to remove the fixing spray before printing? Lastly, can you tell me in which order of colour you printed the block? I have only done mono coloured prints and would love to try a reduction print but I know I will struggle to work out the order of which sections to carve.

Curious. What did you spray on the Lino after transferring the design? I’ve never seen anyone do that.
