And yes, the "railway poster" one does have an austere look, but it's very effective.<BR/>Pencils on wet oil? Must think more about that one. I sometimes use a little oil paint (W&N) in mixing colours if I don't have the right shade. But it doesn't have the same "flow" as printing ink so needs extra linseed oil.But as I usually apply it by hand and don't use a lot it seems to work. Most times!dinahmowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00052642938090553088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16927229.post-13646636828043557342009-01-09T20:00:00.000+00:002009-01-09T20:00:00.000+00:00:>Dyou have been doing some lovely work!:>D<BR/><BR/>you have been doing some lovely work!vivienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16820836660470146799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16927229.post-11274561509500206242009-01-09T18:45:00.000+00:002009-01-09T18:45:00.000+00:00I think you need to take me in hand, Vivien. :) W...I think you need to take me in hand, Vivien. :) What a shame I can't have you as my teacher.

Having said that, I quit like some of these effects I'm getting with the 'wrong' media!<BR/><BR/>I need to learn to cut finer lines in these small prints though<BR/><BR/>Cath thanks - I have to be careful not to get a list to port with photos! thank heavens for photoshop :>D<BR/><BR/>Hi Robyn - never be reverential! actually it's pure impatience and wanting to see what happens! I knew if it didn't work it was simply enough to print another and play again and it was only paper. :>)vivienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16820836660470146799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16927229.post-10746377279613059012009-01-09T10:00:00.000+00:002009-01-09T10:00:00.000+00:00It is the very strong graphic poster look that you...It is the very strong graphic poster look that you get with linoprints that appeals to me too, Vivien. <BR/><BR/>This version is very effective. I'd never have thought of using coloured pencil on wet oil paint. I think I'm altogether too reverential to the different mediums.Robyn Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01663604160297996421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16927229.post-39942022922551861752009-01-09T09:33:00.000+00:002009-01-09T09:33:00.000+00:00I like the effect you're getting with brushing the...I like the effect you're getting with brushing the oil paint on. I'll be interested to see what happens next. Gotta confess; whenever I carve out a linocut I seem to get everything sloping slightly uphill to the right.

All that re working makes the print look very personal and very much you.<BR/><BR/>ON the second image, I love the texture in the print. I can't tell if this is from the way you cut the block or the pencils. It almost looks Japanese to me.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01142884023928819776noreply@blogger.com
