I decided to adapt some more work from my sketchbook for lino print. - choosing the woman in water composition, and the girl tied down by nature.
- the compositions needed adapting for this - looking back i would perhaps have refined further - but they're both tests!
- i think if these were 'finals' i would have maybe added too much detail, - seeing these printed, I'm thinking less is more. - lino is so bold and striking - no need to over complicate.
- I thought that translating my imagery would be difficult, - and i had similar fears about the deer image for induction. - but its about picking out those key bits of information - getting rid of unwanted detail - in the case of lino perhaps less is more potentially at this stage. -
- Sometimes its easy to be lazy with mark making - when using something like ink, or pencil. But with lino, you have to be really considerate with each mark you create. - hopefully resulting in more successful compositions!
- Cutting the lino; these seemed to require a bit more concentration and patience than my initial deer lino cut. -
- focused on keeping the cuts i made quite simple but, but trying to create small lines of detail also - wanted to experimenting with how shallow you have to press to still get a relief? - not very far!
- sometimes the lino can cut weirdly if you press too deep - a bit difficult to cut away the material properly.
- I hadn't planned on combining both of these techniques before today, but i think they work really effectively together. - consider how the mono print could be used to enhance areas of lino - split up sections of colour and tone within an image.
- like the contrast of the solid black and faded soft textures. I am going to attempt to use this process for my finals.
