| Beach Balls Two block linoleum cut $15 |
|
|
Linoleum cuts are part
of the relief printing family which is exactly opposite intaglio
printmaking. With linoleum cuts, wood cuts and wood engravings the area
that you leave on the block holds the ink; in intaglio the areas you
etch away hold the ink. Taking a 4" x 6" block that has a thin layer of
grey linoleum adheared to the top I carve away at the block to leave
lines which will support the ink. In Beach Balls there is one block for
the brown and one block for the blue. The white you see is simply the
unmarred paper. This print was done in anticipation for a print
exchange which never happened.
