I love linocut...because each print is unique, because you have to think the other way around (you carve what you don't want to appear) and that's a new way of seeing things
I 've made only small sizes but I hope I will dare to go for bigger ones soon
What is a bit disturbing at first is why it doesn't print the way it should...is it the ink? The lino ? The paper? The pressure applied?...so many different variables...and so you try again and again and again 😁😅...but that's part of the game
Hello, I did practise a little linocut, around ..40 years ago! I intend to do it again, just not so simple to launch back on it, like allways; If I can humbly suggest you something: you could do the same kind of exercises you began but on negative space : apply the colour on negative space, to create your shapes. it's partly of the spirit of linocut, and will make you in the mood ;) I think the last one (near water) could be a beautiful printing !
do you project to print with a press, or manually ?(or both!)
Wait… you have a podcast? Did I miss the link to that? Where do I find it?
By the way I think I found you by reading a note of you leaving art in the free library box, not too long ago. So happy to have stumbled n that note, I don’t understand algorithms … I’m happy to be here now.
I’m also happy for this Substack environment that allows for thoughtful sharing/discussions etc. It’s nice that someone appreciates what you do. It’s even nicer IMO if you know why or can get feedback or start a longer conversation or have an interaction that leads you to create something new…
Yes!! The SneakyArt podcast, you can find it everywhere, just search for it on your podcast app. 😁
And indeed, the best thing about writing a newsletter is that I get to share my words and get feedback, instead of writing into the void. It's so good to have readers!
And if you'd like to explore fabulous possibilities, including multi-color linocutting, I suggest you https://www.lauraboswell.co.uk/index.php ..
she has a lot of technical and artistic skills !

Can't wait to see your prints soon🔥🔥
Excited to get into all these fun variables!
I cannot wait for new episodes!

That's a great idea! My plan is to do everything manually at my desk. 😁

I should have known it was called sneaky art. I’ll go check it out.
