My Lino Prints...

My design on the lino

First print, the block of colour didn't come out very solid but i quite like this effect.

Second print, again, colour not spread evenly over the image.

Third print, i used a lot more ink this time and mixed two colours together. Some of the ink had started to seep in to the cut grooves, so parts of the teeth, leg and arm did not come out in full detail.


This process was probably my least favourite for a few reasons. For the type of image i wanted to reproduce, it was hard to cut in to the lino the detail i wanted, so i ended up having to simplify it. Then when printing, it was hard to get an outcome i was happy with. However, i have seen other peoples work who have used this process and i think for some particular types of design it can work really effectively, it just wasn't for me!
