A couple of pictures to record the process of making my new linocut with a blackbird on a rowanberry branch. We had a blackbird nest in the garden this summer and we watched three eggs turn into beautiful birds.
Blackbirds come often to the rowanberry trees in our garden and this print is inspired by them.
 |
| Starting with a carving out linoleum - I'm using Jack Richeson this time. |
 |
| Prints hanging to dry. These are printed with Caligo oil-based ink on 200 gram Hahnemühle paper. |
 |
| Hand-coloring the prints with watercolor. |
 |
| Getting to the leaves on the branch, mixing in yellow, blue to get different shades of green. |
 |
| The print measures 23 x 30.5 cm (or 9" x 12") and the paper roughly 40 x 40 cm (16" x 16"). |
The print is available for purchase
in my shop.
Have a great week!
