Lino cut

Some more varieties based on the Utopia book cover. For these I made a new linoleum cut and step-by-step cut away more of the lino.

Graphics Course

This bookcover was the inspiration for my lino cuttings. The method I used was to cut away more and more parts of the lino. And to print each stage in a different colour. Here are a few of the prints.
I'm doing this course at the studio of Annemieke Waasdorp.

Etching

Making marks in an etching plate was the challenge for the second lesson in Graphics. It was remarkable easy. The acid bath did the hard work. Next time I try a serious drawing.

 

Graphics course

This summer I started with a short course Graphics. It's meant to make me acquainted with all kinds of Graphic Arts, such as drypoint, etching and monoprinting (although I do that already, e.g. with a gelatine plate). Above is an example of dry needle etching in cardboard (actually a lid of a cardboard box containing drinking glasses) that I did the first lesson. It was fun to slightly alter each pass.

Lino cutting altered

I cut away most of the previous green coloured lino to make it more interesting.
