My practice – part 5

 3rd block after overnight etch has been cleaned off with water.

3rd block before printing.

 Here's the proof.
Again, I have scanned in the 3rd block proof into the computer and overlayed it onto the previous 2 blocks in photoshop. This enables me to play around with colour, transparency, editing the blocks and preparing new ones. I have decided that the 'pink' sky block needs some more white  space, so I am going to etch away more of the 'sky'. Also, I will cut 2 more blocks and etch more water marks, as I want a really textured and complex layered effect.

      Thank you Kerry-Jane! I am glad someone is reading and getting something out of the blog. :-) If anything seems unclear in the process, let me know so I can make it clearer...

      As a bit of a dinosaur, it's the computer bit I don't know how to do! The rest makes great sense. I am going to try again now I have some time. Looking forward to getting out the stop out varnish! Yum yum yum :)

    Thank you for these postings and for sharing your working method for etched linoleum. Your prints of London are striking, with beautiful, painterly textures and layers of color, and a nice contrast between the textures of river and sky and the hard-edged architecture. I would enjoy taking a class or workshop to learn the technique but unfortunately I don’t live in Britain. Perhaps I’ll try this at home one day. Thanks again!

    So how did a final multi block print work out or will I see it later in the blog? Thanks for your method, great detail.
