Looks like you are carving MDF.
That's right!
Looking good Jon!
Thanks P.I.!
Nice video, thanks. I wonder if there are tiny spoon gouges out there? A rang of those would speed up the process for a design that contained multiple circles of different diameters.
Interesting, I've never tried one of those before. Please let me know if you give it a shot!
Heck yeah!! Let's gooo!
Woo! at last 😄
Wow, you have so much art that perfectly captures the essence of Taiwan!
Thanks! I feel there's so much to be inspired by here
Beautiful ❤️ Taiwan, wo ai ni
Beautiful stuff!
Thank you!
Nicely done and wonderful prints
Thank you!
Thanks for making me cry, Jon 🥰
I do what I can 😅
I prefer linoleum over wood block relief and reduction cutting. But I like the wood cutting sound. My impressions are limited based upon the editions.
what wood is that......
Very helpful. I shied away from MDF bc I didn't think it would give me crisp lines. Clearly I was wrong. Beautiful work and thank you for the peek into your creative process.
Thanks, I'm glad it was helpful! Lower density mdf is no good for crisp lines, so you were partly right to avoid it. The higher density stuff is good for carving.
gotdam what an intro !!
thank you!
Wonderful artwork Jon. Thank you so much for sharing your skills and insight. Please, what is the matrix you are carving? Is is a ply or a composite wood structure? Thanks again for sharing your work.
Thank you! I'm carving mdf (higher density variety)
Amazing
Thank you!
Very nice 👍 impressive work. I want to start this with my drawings too.. Do you know about the woodcut print residency program ?
Thank you! I'm not sure I do, where is it?
I was asking you because I thought you might know some residency programs
Ah I see, sorry I'm not familiar with any
Hey Jon, Plumsink here. WOW you look young in this video LOL! Very inspiring words at the end, you have to be willing to fail and to struggle and keep on anyway. Basically I think all successful artists have to have a fixed idea in their brains that they are artists and this is what they do and they are going to keep on doing it regardless of external circumstance. Because otherwise there are too many things that will tend to incline you to stop.
Thanks! I agree and yeah, the years have not been kind 😅
You look much more distinguished now. You look like a kid in this. ;) @@LeiStudios
I miss you
Are you carving MDF?
I am!
Excellent work. I don't know why this technique isn't more popular.
Thank you! I agree, I love the contrast between the hardness of the woodcut and the softness of the watercolor.
Holy hell, that guy is incredible! Does he have an art book available? I'd love one
Thank you! And yes, you can get one here www.jrenzella.net/store/f3mxv1o5qnjkjlaz
Does the woodcutter-woodcuttee life cycle operate as a conventional temporal narrative? Because I think I can hear some woody screams...
Those must be from the previous unfortunate woodcutter 😬 the cycle continues
Beautiful work and process
thank you!
What kind of wood do you use and how that woodblock calls?
I use MDF, the higher density the better. I'm sorry, I don't understand the second part of your question.
@@LeiStudios I got that, thank you!
Why has this not more views! I love your content and work. Will pick some MDF today and start :)
Thanks, and good luck to you!
Love seeing your process! And what a great subject.
Thank you!
Love Your Music, dear Mari - also interesting to know more about the actual production / recording / editing - process. Please go on to do videos on this subject
Your audio is amazing… what you using?
Thanks! I use a Zingyou mic with the Presonus audio box USB 96 filtered through OBS.
Ooh, these look fantastic! This sounds like a really fun, satisfying practice! I really like that you took your time with it as well and didn't try to force yourself to keep it to ten days. I think it's more enjoyable, taking a bit more time with these exercises. Ten days just seems too short!
Thank you! It was very satisfying, and having a chance to reflect as I went and not be too stressed by the time limit was a big plus, though I'm sure there would have been other benefits from powering through in ten days.
Nice walk through!
Thank you!
This is amazing!! So much wonderful work!
Thanks Sir Knight!
So pretty :)
Meant to add in last comment, your video was very helpful.
Thank you! Do you mean you'd like to see a video on facial features and shadowing in woodcut?
Facial features and shadowing???
Wonderful video!
What a lovely exercise! I'm going to have to try this. Thank you for demonstrating!
Really nice Praneeta!
So beautiful! I just found your channel yesterday. I love your content. 😁
Thank you! 😄
Thanks for tips. Are you using water based or oil based inks ?
You're welcome! I use oil based ink
Cool print and interesting tips
Thank you!
Excellent explanation of your curation process. Thank you.

I have found the small ones difficult, thanks for this video :-)
I'm glad it was helpful, thanks!
Thanks Pree on the editing of the video, you did a great job! Again thanks Jon. Was stoked to finally get a show together for Lei Gallery. I always hate seeing/hearing myself but this seems somewhat cerebral and lucid!
Thank you and you are very welcome. Watching yourself is a great way to learn . I’m glad you liked the way it turned out.
Quel talent ! Bravo l’artiste 👍😍
Yesss! amazing work
You too!
