I haven’t done any printmaking for a while but now I want to start again with linocuts and woodcuts. I would like to do more of these…
I don’t know why but I like some of my travelling pictures so much that I want to turn them into a print. That’s what I did with this picture of Loch Lomond, which was taken during our trip to Scotland. I liked the wild, unspoilt nature there a lot.
I’m quite happy with this woodcut, especially how the two plates and colours mix.
It’s quite I while since I started making woodcuts, but I think I’m slowly getting a feel for the material and the process.
Woodcuts leave a different impression than linocuts. I think this is due to the bulkiness of the material and the the fine wooden lines which are often left on the plate when cutting.
I also like to combine two plates to be able to play with different colours…
