I transferred my portrait drawing to a block of traditional grey lino this week, carved it and took the first proof print from it. I’m quite pleased with the resule. I’m being very strict with time and I did this process from the first pencil mark on paper, through 9 drawings, carving the block and a first proof in 4 hours. The longest bit was doing the drawings from life. I used Cranfield Caligo Safewash Relief ink in black onto Liber Charta 145gsm paper, printed with a Columbian Press at Swansea Print Workshop.
