Moving on from the linocut I produced for the 20:20
exchange, I decided to try a similar idea but with a more dynamic form and use
the plate to try some different colour ways as well. So far I had built the colour up from light
to dark, but with one version here I started with the dark brown and the the subsequent two colours were lighter.
This resulted in the three versions below.
I then wanted to try something with a finer form and explore
the background shading approach further. Again I used the opportunity to try
some different stages of colour layering, with two, three or four colours per
print.
This is one of the aspects of printmaking that I really
enjoy, that you can take one plate and develop such varying results as below.
Next I think I look at placing two of the forms within one print.
