Ok, so I finally get to do something exciting with this printmaking course. I didn't particularly enjoy doing the mask making - it was too simple but somehow made complicated with the instructions. From the outset I had expected to be making prints with carved blocks like this.
So, sticking with trees I chose an image from my new book on Japanese seasons. I wanted the image to be simple and bold for my first linoblock and this was perfect for it.
I traced the image and marked it out in reverse on the lino.
I decided to do this one in 'negative' first so that once printed the image left would be the white space and the ink imprinted would be background.
The lino was so easy to cut - I enjoyed working with this very much and I was very pleased with the outcome.
Next I will show the images printed with this.
