- Kitchen litho printing to chine collé, hand printed on gampi, chine collé on BFK Rives.
Enjoy!
Btw, the technique of kitchen litho using aluminum foil and cola was developed by the French artist, Émilie Aizier. Look her up if you’re interested in learning more on the subject.
WOW WOW, this is wonderful, it takes my breath away even on the second watch through! Thank you !!
Thank you, Kate!
Now that’s really really cool. Had to watch three times to get the process. Have tried it yet. But plan on it. Cool.
Thanks!
you works are so sophisticated! all those layers it is incredible. do you have a video where you show how you register the paper and how you copy one layer to the other?
Not yet! But that’s a good idea, thanks.
Dear Valerie, I'm going to stop to put a like on your works because everything it's magic!😉 Although, I have a question: what paper do you use for the printing?
Thank you Paulo! I am printing on gampi, a very thin Japanese paper. I glue it to a thicker backing paper when the print is finished.
In several of your videos you paint surfaces generously and adjacent to printing areas. This is also the case here when creating the background. It is a peaty liquid. Is it cola or gum arabic or a mixture of both or something similar? What is the purpose of this?
@@a.k.6511 It’s either gum or cola or a mixture. When I want to get a very specific area covered, gum, and for a broader area, cola.
This is essentially sealing in the area, preventing it from picking up any grease during the drawing process.
@@valeriesyposz Ah, yes, that makes sense! Thank you for sharing your experiences. I really like your pictures, your message is clear! If I understand them correctly, they depict the complexity and intangibility of one's own personality. It has a character like particles that cannot be observed in quantum physics because they follow other laws at the moment of observation.
Great!!! So advanced techniques! Beginner here. Don’t understand at all…
Thank you! Don’t forget, everyone starts out as a beginner🙂
This is a great video, thank you! I had a question. I tried this with a formula of vinegar (7min) instead of cola, and a china marker instead of a lithopencil and coconut oil. When I got to the oil wipe away process the entire image wiped away but left no ghostly trace, then when inking it didn't take well and the image that did receive the ink was inverted! have you ever had a 'failure' like this? I have seen videos where vinegar was used instead of cola, but I did wonder about the china marker instead of a litho pen (it's a test). Thanks so much either way! your videos are great, I'll keep watching your channel.
I have not had an inverted image as you said, but I had someone ask me about it before so clearly you are not the only one. Unfortunately I don't have the answer on the inversion happening.
I do, however, often use 'china marker', even more than litho crayon, so it's probably not the china marker causing the problem. Just keep in mind all china markers have different grease contents, and all foils accept grease a little differently so it's not a one size fits all solution. But I will give you my secret (which is not at all a secret) that my favourite drawing material is Mitsubishi Dermatograph.
Thanks Valerie, I figured it out! It was the crappy thin aluminum foil and the vinegar that I used. Poor materials led to poor results. I finally got it working. Watching another video of yours, really appreciate your dedication to all of this!
I have read that vinegar could be used in place of cola. Have you tried that?
I started with cola and it gives great results so I haven’t felt the need to use vinegar or citric acid. It would be interesting to do a comparison, but finding the time is hard.
What kind of paper did you use for print making?? Is it print making paper you buy at a art store??
For my thin paper, I use gampi. It’s a type of Japanese paper, not readily available from art stores. You’d have to look at a specialty paper supplier or order from Japan. The backing paper, BFK Rives, is also a printmaking and along with Arches, Somerset, Fabriano, etc are often sold at larger art stores.
sure would love to hear a discription of this process! It looks so magical, what acid are you ethcing with ???
Hi Kate! This magical process, called “kitchen lithography”, uses Coca-Cola (or no brand coke) to etch the aluminium foil🤗🤩
@@helloplume7531 Holy Crapington, so you wipe it off right off the bat? what is the paper you are printing on? regular litho inks? gosh it has been a while since I did litho but I have my own print making studio am primary an etcher but this is so cool, I am going to definitely try this out! I love the image as well, quite wonderful, contemporary! this is so cool!
Coca cola for the etch, but I also use plain gum arabic. I’m printing on gampi paper using regular litho inks. If printing by hand, any sort of thin smooth paper works best😊
What brand of greasy pencil do you use? Thanks❤
Mitsubishi Dermatograph and Sharpie China Marker
@@valeriesyposz ❤️ thanks!
I had read that vinegar could be used instead of cola. Have you tried that?
Hello, please tell me how and what paint do you use?
And also how long does it withstand in a solution of Cocacola?
It’s kitchen lithography. Drawn with grease pencils, etched with cola (less than one minute) then printed like a lithograph. I always use litho ink.
What do you draw the image with ? This is magic !
Grease pencils, permanent markers and ballpoint pen.
Why is every kitchen litho video a picture of somebodys face coming off with another face inside? 🤔
