I did a first proof of my new linocut portrait this week. I did as much carving as I thought necessary, following my decision to almost treat the flesh like a geographical feature (see here), and decided to print one to see what I had. I’m not 100% happy with it but I think I’m on the right track and looking forward to continuing to work with this model.
On the left, the lino print, printed onto Liber Charta paper with Cranfield Caligo Safewash ink. On the right, the lino block (natural grey lino backed with hessian).

❤️ i should consider trying this again I haven’t done a lino cut since maybe 1987 when I was a junior in High School.
Yes, do give it a go. It’s a very versatile medium, and it’s reasonably priced too.
