The first ink layer was a pale blue, and I cut the block to leave the white paper showing through for seagulls:
Next I added a darker blue to the bottom of the print:
More carving, and next is the ochrey colour of the bridge and chapel, plus the background tree and some reflected colour in the water:
Next up I printed a darker brown layer to define the structure:
And finally a black for the darkest shadows:
Printed area is 4 by 6", and it's an edition of 8 on Zerkall paper. Hope you like it!
Yes I do like it. Think you may have inspired me to check out Lino printing.
ReplyDeleteI warn you, it's addictive! I tried out the softcut lino for this one, rather than using traditional lino, and I have to say that I liked it. Easier to cut. Hope you get to have a go sometime.
