Developing the linoprints 2
Misty morning, snow, Aylestone Meadows. Linoprint plus coloured pencil and oil pastel on brown paper. Vivien Blackburn
First an apology - Ainesse left a really interesting and informative comment about linoprinting - and I somehow lost it :>( Ainesse could you possibly leave one again? and I'd love to read about the caustic soda process - and yes I have tried intaglio lino but wasn't very good at it! I don't have access to a printing press at the moment.
Then - these are 2 of the 10 experiments worked into with coloured pencils and touches of oil pastel.

The first print is an attempt to catch that thin mist, that often goes with snow, that softens and lightens colour, turning the world into gentle pastels.

Me? Fed up? No way! I like seeing how you explore the margins of the medium. Very inspiring!
I'm going to try to get my head around that button! ;>D
I've been nervous putting anything other than ink on the lino or wood blocks until I get a reasonable number of prints off them, but I think it's time to experiment.
The 'button' can be nerve-wracking, can't it? But you've already got into Etsy and to my mind that is a lot more complicated.
I think I'll simply open a new account and close the old one. Then try and see how many glitches I can manage to come upon!
Oh do experiment with your linos and woodcuts :>)
And I love the second one too. The colours are beautiful and really give a feeling of twilight.
I thought the dog on your post today was one of your best - beautifully done :>)
I get so stressed over these little computer chores. I was terrified I was going to destroy my whole blog putting an Etsymini on it.
Had a glum time trying to print with oil paints on an old linocut today. I was trying to mix intaglio and relief. But I'm not giving up, yours are inspiring.
Intaglio prints need a press - I know you have access to one - and you need to put a layer of thick sponge over plate/paper to press the paper down into the dips. I was never successful with this :>(
I wonder if Personal IS premier????? in which case the account it ok and I wouldn't need to change
Yes, I'm terrified of messing up my pay pal account! stress? absolutely!
Sometimes I hate computers!
Any progress on your button?
