Another Print
21:28 Posted In Art , Sketchbook Edit This 0 Comments »Ok I did not get anything done with the gargoyle print this past week. But I did cut a small print of a celtic design:
This happens to be one of my favorite motifs although I'm not completely sure why. It was some relaxing practice for carving the speedy cut. This stuff cuts like butter, I would not attempt this image in regular lino at this stage of the game as that stuff is much harder in comparison.
There is also the issue getting used to the ink, how much ink on the block is too much and how much is not enough. You may be surprised to find that the block looks like it has good coverage only to find out it doesn't. The resulting image can be patchy and broken up.
