Lino Printing

I think i have only done lino prints once before so this session was reasonably new to me. I learnt allot about the technique involved in lino prints. This session I approximately made 5 prints. Once i learned the stages of the printing i started to experiment and change the prints by cutting more parts away to change the image printed.

This is one of my first prints which I based off the design of a key cupboard from the V&A museum. I also wanted to get familiar with the different marks that could be achieved from the various tools.

Here i experimented abit more with creating different thickness of lines, by cutting more away from the lino. Furthermore I was getting more familiar with the visual language that can be achieved from this type of print and thinking about different types of illustration  this medium could effectively applied too.

Finally in this first session i experimented with layering the prints. I also wanted to see if depth could be achieved by adding a different tone of colour. Here i added a grey on top of the orange print. I really like this effect I think it looks like a Shadow or a bit like an illusion. But know i have an idea of what can be achieved I hope to develop this in the future.
