- I selected my deer image from my sketchbook as a starting point.
- Lino
- Lino
- For the Lino print - I had to think about how to translate the texture and detail for block printing. - chose to create a silhouette.
- i was actually pretty pleased with my lino cuts. - i thought that they would perhaps be too simplistic, and was unsure about if the lines were deep enough - would it pick up the detail? but the final prints are actually quite lovely.
- think that the silhouette works effectively - simplistic shapes are often be - bold, contrasting.
- I like the gradient of ink in some of the images that provides some texture to the background.
- i like that once the lino is cut you can just keep repaying the printing process - trying different colours and layering perhaps with other images?
- really enjoyable process - love the fact these are hand printed! real authentic quality about them.
- Mono-printing
- this is process that I've always wanted to explore further since our first induction last year, but never got round to doing it! i am grateful that we are being given the opportunity to learn more about, and incorporate this process.
- …Despite having an interest it has always confused me. `i struggle to get my head around the whole process of relieving different levels of ink - and getting details.
- There are two types of moonoprint. - using stencils to releiev different pressures of ink - creating some lovely gradients! - this can be quite a time consuming process, as once you ink up a plate each time under the press it fades more and more.
- its very difficult to re create the same print twice. - requires a lot of patience! but beautiful effects can be created.
- each time you want to create a new relief you have to press through the machine which can also be quite time consuming.
- The method which i focused on the most was; - firstly inking up the plate, then positioning a piece of paper on top - with a design that i wanted to print on top of that. - i then used a pencils pressure to trace my design - leaving the impression from the inked up board onto my paper.
this created some really subtle and delicate textures - perhaps this method better for creating details?
