I'm finished with the woodcut prints! It's quite a workout to make woodcuts (my arms are definitely more muscle-y) but lots of fun!
I made loads of prints of the woodcut in variations of two color schemes plus a couple of experiments. I still don't have a scanner so the images are not very good, but here they are!
And finally, here's an image of the what the woodblock looked like at the end and a print of my last layer.
After the linocuts, I've started working on a woodcut. I'm making a 5 layer reductive woodcut print (phew!). Since there are so many layers it's going to take a while to finish, but here is a preview of the first 2 layers for now.
Here they are printed together. I decided to go a little crazy with the colours and try out a few things. I had so much fun! (i may have gotten a little out of hand, i now have an enormous number of prints and i can't shake off the smell of printing ink)
My final little lino portrait. Tomorrow i'm planning to print them all together and experiment a little with the printing.
Three down one more to go!
The second portrait in lino cut, its b&w print and a color version for fun!
I'm planning to have a set of four so i'm printing them individually for now but i will print them together when they're done!
I'm making portraits with the remaining linoleum!
Here's the first linocut, its black and white print and a colored one for fun!
(The quality of the photos are pretty bad but unfortunately, I don't have a scanner yet :( )
The cleaned-up first linocut and print followed by a whole load of experimenting.
Oh the joys of printing and the wonderfully toxic smells of printing inks and kerosene!
This is my very first linocut and print... ever!
I've decided to apply for my master's and it turns out that once you write the hellish essay it's just a lot of waiting around. *snore. So,I decided to fill in my time with a printmaking workshop at Chhaap Baroda! This is the result from my first day!
I had no idea what i wanted to do with my lino so i cut out a small piece and went freestyle. It still needs a little working on though, I have to clean up the messy edges.
I have no idea why i've never tried it before though, It's so much fun!
I feel like i've been in a bit of a rut the last few days and on a whim i decided to pep up my workspace for inspiration. Here is my new desk companion, holding a beer as an incentive to move it along.
Yay! Sixty posts are over! (Even though i cheated and uploaded some late. The important thing is that they're over!) :)
Obviously, i've been re-reading the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy.
