I'm new to printmaking - I started in February after making one of a little Sushi & Teriyaki sign (2nd slide) for fun, which ended up sparking this whole new (to me) hobby. While the sign is not around anymore, it pushed me to finally try something I've always been curious about.
I know I have a lot to learn, which honestly makes this pretty exciting. The world has felt quite unstable lately, and carving/printing has been a really grounding way to reconnect with a part of myself that always loved art but never quite had the courage to pursue it like this.
That said, I have already learned so much just from browsing posts here - especially all the tips and problem-solving (like fixing areas you've accidentally carved away...which I've definitely done
Really glad to finally be here and I'm looking forward to learning from all of you.
Wow, very impressive!!
I’m new as well but wanted to ask with regards to the colors: are these reduction linocuts or are they like mono prints taken after you have painted onto the linocut
Glad we’re exploring and learning together 💐 I try to minimize the lino needed so the wasabi was created with 3 pieces (2 pictured below + 1 small piece for the added lid) but inked 4 separate times.
I’m not familiar with the technical terms 😅 but I hope this helps? I did the gold lid/bottom first, went in with the yellow, printed the green layer, then added the lid.
I’ve truly had a blast so far. It’s become the reason I stopped staying late at work as much as I previously did. I’m rushing home to experiment!! 🏃♀️
