I rarely work outside the studio, but for various reasons I took home my latest plate last week to get a bit more work done. Unlike etching or aquatint, linocuts are relatively easy to do from home, particularly a small one. The piece I am working on is a 4" x 6" two-plate lino based on a photo I took in Mont Saint-Michel last summer. The photo offered a unique and challenging composition and I may have been subtly influenced by Frans Masereel after Mike Kimball's comment on my lino book post. Since I was able to take a few photos of the plate in progress, I thought would share them now that I have an early proof of the first plate.
Wow the lino print is amazing! Very nice work!
ReplyDeleteIt is inspiring me to do some Linocut work.
Awesome! Now grab those band-aids and pick-up that carving tool! :)
