How to Tear Fine Art Paper into Smaller Sizes for Maximum Yield and Less Waste
In this video, I'm sharing how to tear (or cut) down Fine Art Paper (Watercolor, Drawing and Printmaking) Sheets to get smaller sizes, with maximum yield and less waste. I've created 4 yield templates to get you started (you can make more of them), which you can download here: www.belindadelpesco.com/tearing-full-sheets-of-fine-art-paper-to-smaller-sizes.html/
The stainless rulers with cork backing that I use to tear paper are here:

Exactly what I needed to see! Thanks!
You're welcome! Have so much fun with your colored pencils!
Thank you! So beautiful!
Thank you too! I hope you have fun with your watercolors soon!
That’s really nice!
Thank you, Daisy! Happy printing!
Thank you again! You are an amazing artist and teacher!
Thanks again, Cheryl! I hope you have mind blowing printmaking adventures in the next few weeks. Strike while the iron is hot. Go gettum!
I've learned so much from your videos! Thanks for making them available. I loved Degas' mono types but had only experimented with black ink on acrylic sheets up till now. I'm so excited to start using color.Yay!!!
Hi Cheryl, Yes, color in monotypes is a whole new world to explore. I remember when I discovered it as a possibility too, and I revel in your excitement over it. Have So Much Fun!
Love, love, love the wealth of information and inspiration in this wonderful instructional video. Thanks so much for sharing. I've done simple mono types but this has opened a new world of ideas!
Thank you for your reply - I’m so glad the details of this demo were clear and understandable. I hope you have a whole month of printmaking adventures in your explorations!
Loved your blog a very different way to the methods I use never tried the glazing method will have too give it a go Fujitsu all the best
Hi John, Thanks for the feedback and the compliment. I hope you do give glazing a try - it makes the process slower, and less risky, which is good since you can’t really un-do what you carve away. Happy printing to you!
Thank you for all your helpful hints and ideas! You are a good/thorough teacher!
You are so welcome, Karen! :) happy printing!
Very charming work!! i would like to try. I am not sure if i understood the steps, my english is very basic. did you use a photograph as a reference? or was the painting with the yellow wall? Are this the steps?: 1. prepare the plaque on the edges (is it posible to do it in the end after the finished the etching?) 2. Engraving a sketch from a photograph direct on the plaque and print it. 3. scan and print to paint it with watercolour to make the tone values. 4. use this watercolored print of value study as a reference to finish the already sketched plaque. i am a bit lost but tanks a for this inspiring video
Hello Batzeth - maybe try this simpler version of a drypoint engraving: ruclips.net/video/86nRWW4PV9M/видео.htmlsi=iDgrKHQMOYsxpPkp
Great video. You covered techniques I wasn't aware of and will look at further. I started doing monotypes many years ago with printers ink. Tried acrylic paints with the same problems you mentioned. Looking forward to trying the Akua ink.
I’m glad some parts of the process were new to you! And I hope your experiments are fun and fruitful! Happy printing!
You made sure the 2 prints were done on wet paper but didn't you scribe the drypoint from a dry print which would have shrunk
Hi Phil, the plates for each printmaking method were different but the single sheet of paper was soaked and blotted in the same time amount so the swell & shrink were the same for each part of the process. And for the record, variations and overlap of edges in print registration is not something I fret about because it is evidence that each print is hand made. Perfection isn’t a goal (for me). I hope that answers your question. 🙋🏻♀️
What great suggestions!
Thanks for the feedback, Marjorie! Happy drawing!
Thanks for video! It is very helpful. I look forward to trying this myself!
Hi Deirdre - thanks for the feedback! I’m glad the demo was helpful and I hope you have hours of fun in your next printmaking adventures!
I'm an art student who is focusing in printing and I found your blog (then channel) a little bit on accident but I am soooooooo glad I did because the videos I've watched so far are really amazing and your prints are really beautiful. I'm hoping I can be as good as a printmaker as you are some day lol
Where does one buy tarlaton fabric? Thank you for explaining while showing the images. Your video is very helpful.
Hi Kachigh - if you’re using Akua inks, id recommend their particular brand of tarlatan: amzn.to/44PoNNp It can be used over and over, and washed out every few months or so with Dawn Dish soap in a bucket, and then hung to dry outdoors.
What paper should I use to make these prints
Hi Carovision, When printing by hand (without a press), a smooth, lightweight printmaking paper like this works very well: amzn.to/4dRY5YE Happy printing!
Wow! Very clear and neat. You're doing wonderfully well Ma'am.
Thank you!
Hi Belinda, can you tell me please, how often to do wash the Plexiglass plate - like do you wash it after every print, or do you just re-ink it? Thanks.
Hi Kath, If I am in the midst of printing an edition, I just re-ink and wipe and then print over and over again, unless I’m changing colors from - say, black ink to green ink, or if I’m finished with the printing, and then I use a soft tooth brush and drop of dawn dish soap on the plate, with no water at first, to gently scrub the ink out of the incised grooves. Then rinse the plate, the toothbrush and my hands in warm water. Dry and store the plate after confirming that all the ink has been removed. Happy printing!
Glad this video came to me in my searches; I didn't think to add MagMix to my ink. Now, I should be able to print great prints. I am using the Akua pin press and also have a hand brayer. Thanks!
Hi Scott, I’m so glad you found the demonstration helpful! I use MagMix all the time, and I wish more printmakers knew about it for adjusting thickness and viscosity in their Akua inks! Happy printing to you!
Thank you for answering this question for me - "can I use a plexi etch to add detail to a paper that has been previously printed as the last step in a multi block multi plexi print ?" I now feel confident for my up coming experiment after seeing this video, and I'm so pleased that you anticipated my question 9 years ago. Thank you very much !
Hi James - I’m glad the details were pertinent to your printmaking project, and I hope your drypoint/etch details make your print project sing! Happy printing to you!
Thank you!
You’re welcome, Bernadette! Have fun experimenting!
Very helpful!
Glad it was helpful! Happy printing!
Can’t this technique work with solid flat shape like Matisse cutouts. I don’t have a press. Wonderful demo.
I've always wondered, is it not possible to use a clean brayer, instead of a baren or spoon, to transfer the image, please?
Hi Edie - yes, but only when you’ve arranged certain conditions: thin, flexible, smooth (no tooth), soaked and blotted paper, good transfer ink, and a gloss finish on your plate so the ink transfers/releases easily and adheres to the paper. DO some simple, abstract experiments to see how much ink you need to apply to your design and how much brayer pressure you’ll need against a variety of papers to note which combo works best for your ideas before you invest all sorts of time manipulating the perfect monotype image.
What a beautiful method. Thank you!
Have you ever used the Intaglio Water-Based Ink, Opaque White I am trying to figure out if I want to do a print on black paper if the ink has sufficient opacity to overcome the black or darker paper. For example I am trying to use a white line on a black paper instead of a black line on white paper.
So, if you make more than one print from the same plate but finish them with different mediums, how would you number them? Would they each be considered a 'one of' or would you call them a series or what? Thanks for sharing, I'm enjoying the videos...it's been a long time since I made prints.
I'm enjoying watching the tutorials especially the ones not using a press as I have hurt my shoulder at the moment and can't work my own press for the time being.
do u still need a printing press to print this from a cardboard?
Great video thanks
This is wonderfully helpful! Thanks so much.
I’m so glad you found it useful! Thanks for letting me know. 🪻
Omg this was super helpful!! I recently wanted to try this and I don’t have a press either but the spoon idea is actually really a good idea! I have a question when you dampen the paper you said damped and blotted, what would that mean to blot it? And does the paper need to be print making paper or can it be something else like mixed media would it still work just as fine?
Hi Evelyn, I’m glad the monotype print demo was helpful! Printmaking paper works best, and after soaking or dipping it in water, you lay the wet sheet of paper in/on a towel folded over so you can blot both sides of the paper. You shouldn’t see any shine of moisture. Smooth your hands over the towel to push it into the paper and wick up the water, leaving the paper damp but not dripping or shiny. 👍🏽
Have a look at this video which shows some soaking and blotting of prints to add more layers: ruclips.net/video/ViihrZhdxCs/видео.htmlsi=fVJTaeyxmaOOtFGy
@@bdelpesco thank you so much!!
Thanks!
Thanks so much for your support, Pat! Happy printmaking to you! 🎉❤🎉
Thanks. I'm trying to learn this technique.
Good luck with your experiments, and happy printing!
Wow 👌
Thank you! Cheers!🤓
Where can I find the reference photo? I loved watching your video and itching to try.
Thanks for the feedback, Jacqueline! I don’t have the reference photo any more, but you’re welcome to visit the blog post for this tutorial to download the finished painting so you can print it in black and white and use that as a jumping off point. www.belindadelpesco.com/watercolor-sunday-soak.html/
Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for the tutorial. I will be using it to teach my art students how to create a dark field monotype.
Hi Jessica! Thanks for your compliments. I hope your classroom has so much fun printing their monotypes. Let me know if you have any questions. 👍🏽
LOVED this tutorial! Thank you so much.

great tips, thank you so much for the tutorial!
If you’re looking for the paper yield templates I referenced in this video, you can collect them in this post: www.belindadelpesco.com/tearing-full-sheets-of-fine-art-paper-to-smaller-sizes.html/
This was so helpful Belinda. Thank you for your blog and this youtube posting!
You gave me some great ideas, tx
Hi Gmom - have fun with your printmaking adventures!
Your video was very helpful and thank you for creating it and the download. I've missed your printmaking videos and really enjoy your easy style of teaching. You are very thorough in explaining. I had been mono printing and enjoying it, and loved your method on the trace monotypes. You make it look so effortless. A friend bought me a geli plate and have tried it, but seem to enjoy a hard surface better. Thank you for your expertise. 😊
Nice video and a great idea with the reference drawings! I do have a suggestion, however: For the 7-sheet template, I believe you could convert that 2 x 12 waste strip into a third 4 x 6 sheet by rotating all 12 x 14 and 10 x 8 pieces by 90 degrees, in their current relative positions. Besides yielding an additional 4 x 6 and reducing waste, I believe you'd also need to make one less tear (from 8 tears down to 7, if my counting is correct).
Great idea! I will add your measurements to that template and see if it works. I have at least 8 templates so far, and I’m always eager to add another or alter what I’ve got to get higher yield. 👍🏽
Loved your great video. I want to subscribe but don’t see where I can do that.
Hi Edith - when you’re watching the video, there is a red RUclips button on the video screen in the lower right corner. Click that to subscribe. 😻
Absolutely wonderful to see this technique! Thank you ❤
Thanks for the feedback, Jenny! I hope you try monotype prints!
Love it
