Lino Print

h: 29 w: 19 d: 1 (cms).

This is four block lino print - one of which is a reduction block which was used to establish the mix of colours on the Woodcock. The tiny Goldcrest (on the Woodock's shoulder) has been hand coloured using oil based printing inks. It is based upon a folk tale I read earlier this year in Kevin Parr's book the Quiet Moon. I first produced a finished pencil drawing and used this to produce an ink line drawing which was used as a reference and register drawing for the plates. It is printed on Somerset Satin paper using a No.2 press and Ironbridge traditional inks. I've produced a strictly limited edition of 18 colour prints and 6 black and white prints (using plate no. 4 only).
