Printmaking continued.

Continued a few more linocuts.

At this point I was re-acquintated with the delightful pleasure of applying a bit too much force onto the lino with the blade which subsequently went straight into my left index finger. Ouch.

Blurry picture, just laying out the background first.

I wanted to play around with the colour combination but keeping it fairly basic at the same time. I liked the idea of black silhouettes but also liked the look of red foxes, black and red ink it is.

Not a bad test, I definitely need to clean up some of the lino's as they're still a bit scruffy. I rushed the process of cleaning/drying the lino after each use so some of the ink was fairly watered down in the second batch. Still struggling to get an even ink spread, which I knew would be a problem doing them by hand. I should look into investing in some sort of press or find an open studio where I can pop in. More to follow.
