5″X7″ Linocut print

I want to do some more of these, I started one this evening but I won’t be finished for a few days so I thought I would post this one which I did a couple of years ago. It is a bit rough but it was my first attempt since childhood, so I wasn’t too unhappy with it. It is based on this lighthouse by the marina in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
I have never attempted a multicolour print, I am thinking of adding a second colour to the one I am doing now, not as a reductive print but with a another block.

3.5″X2.5″ Linocut print

Yes I know it looks more like a canada goose than a heron, but you try cutting out a heron less than an inch high. This is actually slightly larger than the original, well I guess it depends on your screen resolution, it is on mine.

I started playing around with relief printing about a year ago but then the daily painting took over my life and I haven’t found much time recently. It is great fun and I do want to do more. I actually had an ambition to do some ‘reductive’ prints but that would really take some planning! I have made nine of these and I may try adding watercolour to some of them.
