Linoleum Prints, Spring 2011

 This print is titled Glimpse of Venice from a photograph that I printed using a gum transfer technique (posted previously). The lino plate was carved out (tools shown below) and inked using Renaissance Black then put through a printing press onto rice paper. The series consists of 4 prints.

These prints are from a series titled View of Thames. The print below consists of 2 inks, Renaissance Black & a teal that I mixed and put on one roller and slowly rolled the plate. The main image is the London Tower Bridge and the 2 (small cut-outs) are of Big Ben and the London Needle. The small cut-outs are printed onto the the teal & black print.

This is a single colored print using ink that I mixed to look like...water under the bridge (couldn't resist).

Tools of the trade: the plate that is carved with the image in reverse; the carving tool (one of many types) and the 2 small cut-outs that were added to the larger image of The Tower Bridge print. 

 The London Eye cut-out with a single color.

Keeping it clean with a single color and just The Tower Bridge.
