Part of expanding your creative toolkit is learning new skills and finding ways to incorporate them into you art and creative process. Learning a new skill or application can also help you overcome the limits of your own medium.
Print making is so much fun, and it can help you change your perspectives of color and shadow, positive and negative space, and how colors relate to each other. To get you started in the world of printmaking, here are my top five (in no particular order) favorite online printing tutorials:
- Block Print Tutorial by Lizzy House
- How to Silkscreen Posters and T-Shirts by No Media Kings
- Lino Print Tutorial by Fanny
- Relief Printing by TskTsk
- Leaf Printing Tutorial by One Girl DesignWrks
- Lino printing tutorial for absolute beginners (like me) by Lemonlight
Okay… and one more (six!) because it’s just such fun and too hands-on not to include!
You can find print making supplies at your local craft store. However, if your local shop is like mine, the variety of options may be limited. Dick Blick offers a variety of quality tools and supplies for block printing and screen printing. They also have a special 10% discount promotion through May 18, 2009 and shipping for a flat rate of just $5.95. If you choose Dick Blick, use offer code CCFV.
