I concentrated in printmaking in college, but haven't pulled a print in years.

These are relief, sintra-cuts, about 3' square, on tea-stained paper.

So if i'm a complete noob, but want to start printmaking because i think it's amazing where do i start? Where can i buy materials? At a normal art store? Also with which printmaking technique should i start first, because i'm watching videos and researching right now and some of these guys are using machines and shit. Links will also be helpful, but whatever.

>Where can i buy materials? At a normal art store?
Yes. Hobby chain stores (hobby lobby, michaels) won't have much, but actual art supply stores should have the basics. order online if not.
> Also with which printmaking technique should i start first
classes usually start with monotypes and relief printing. if you print relief (woodblock, lino) with rice paper and a wooden spoon, you won't need a press, otherwise you'll need to find a printmakers collaborative near you.

i made that simple woodblock to create "clay block" prints. end result are tablets that look ancient as fuck.

>>2364521
Noice. Maybe one day I'll get that fast. The carving process takes forever for me.

>>2367899
try softer wood, it really shouldn't take much unless you're going overboard with details

My question is why would you make a print of something you drew in 20 seconds?

Yeah I've done it. Its kind of a pain in the ass and isn't my first choice of medium. Clean up is AWFUL.
Here's a monotype print I did.

>>2363372
These are gorgeous! Keep it up, you've got talent with this.

>>2363401
What are you doing here??? What kind is this? I'm confused, Is this the print block or the print?
In anycase, it looks cool so far.

I did this a few years ago. I want to do more but with acid or wood. This is hard lino.

>>2369766
Did this too. Hard lino

>>2369751
anything really, its a very expansive subject, i would recommend keeping it simple when you start, something such as lino cut, as it replicated woodblock but in a way that is easier to print and physically cut.
its also cheaper as one does not need to buy wood and one also does not need expensive cutting blades, cheap lino and cheap blades will do.

>>2368243
>>2368230
these are nice

>>2363637
Do a class on etching you will love it

>>2369766

>This is hard lino.
pretty impressive man

>>2369751
you'll cut and burn the shit out of your hands when you do lino

>>2363637
honestly its probably worth going to your local art store/college and seeing if they do evening courses, having a press and heater and etc on hand will make your life so much easier
