Linocut Relief Printmaking Technique Rich via Boardingallrows

A linocut is a type of relief, or block print, and bears a lot of similarities to woodblock printing. Essentially, the artist carves an image into a linoleum (lino) block and what's left of the block is inked and printed. – Keep in mind that the image will be printed in reverse so plan accordingly. – Carving a Linoleum Block - using gouges carve the image in the linoleum block. What is carved out of the block will not be printed in the image. Always carve in a direction away from your other hand for safety's sake. Also ALWAYS use a bench hook to hold your block in place. – http: //www. boardingallrows. com/linocut-process/ – Our linoleum print will be a single color single print. There also Reductive Prints that can be multi color and the image is gradually carved out more with each printing to create more details to the image.
