Hello,
welcome to baren your work is very good I like it, there is not much
difference in lino and wood , you similarly took the prints of wood also.so
you can do better in wood.

Welcome Georgina!

I work in wood and lino, not that much of a difference, other than
preparation (wood takes longer), printing (many more things you can
accomplish with wood, very little with lino) and carving (your
preference, although arguments arise, I think lino cuts a thinner and
more stable thin line).
Otherwise, not too much difference once you get the hang of it.

Subject: [Baren 38558] just starting to plan my first woodcut - advice on tools, supplies
Send Message: To this poster

Hi

Is this the right place to ask for technical advice, if not I am sorry, please tell me where to post the question.

thank you everyone who looked at my blog, I was really excited about it. It is really very nice to interact with prinmakers
from all over the world from the comfort of my own home!

I have found a supplier of good timbers, and he sells western type tools. There is also a place in Brisbane
called carbo-tek and they sell cheap japanese tools, so I might buy them to start with.

My question is about the inks. I have looked on Baren Mall and there is powder pigments. Is there a good quick
guide to using these for absolute beginners and I am guessing that I have to buy these over the net as I have not seen
anything like them in my travels around Brisbane art supply shops - except pigments for use in egg tempera?

Anyhow sooner or later I will have to purchase so I plan to start off properly. I am also guessing that I should never print
with oil based ink if I want to print with japanese pigments later.

What about proofing with a waterbased block ink? I have a 1lb jar of that sitting on my bench right now....Will this stain
the wood and leak out forever ruining any lighter colours?

If I order some pigments then I may as well order some paper - any suggestions? I have a baren, but not one of those very expensive ones.

thank you
