Dry Dock
by Peter Grant - 18:27 on 05 October 2023
Just finished my first Reduction Linoprint!
The print is called "Dry Dock" and is from a photograph of an old boat which I found in Workington some years ago.
The print is in three colours and has the addition of a line block of a Dock plant, and some hand-finishing (rust etc).
A reduction print is made by first cutting away in the lino all areas which will be white, and a print taken - in this case blue.
More lino is cut away and another print is taken (of all brown areas).
Again some cutting is done and the last (black) print taken.
At no point is there any going back. A small number of copies is therefore quite usual.
