Nothing is quite absolute and whether
you’re seeking or fleeing, all roads lead
home. Move far enough in one direction,
landfall always rolls around again like
dawn.

A lovely use of intersecting diagonals in the composition.

One of the best things I learned as a child was how to deal with boredom. Patience is a great skill to acquire - didn't thank my parents then but I appreciate the ability now.

Aha, that's a lithograph that Curwen made from the linocut
(and no price displayed! - it's also 'hors de commerce' which means that technically it shouldn't be for sale).
Nonetheless a very fine piece of Lanyon's work.

ah yes, tricky to handle waterbased inks, I'd try some of the water-soluble inks that are oil based - Cranfield and Caligo get good reports.

Are these lino blocks - what ink are you using?

Here's my finished Cocklers print! Very happy with the end result.

The print measures 594mm x 280mm and is on 700mm x 380mm Fabriano 5 printing paper.

It would make a great Christmas present for anyone who loves the coast.

My finished Cocklers print depicting five cocklers on a beach all looking for cockles. It is in yellow, gold, blue and turquoise with two greys overlaying the colours.

Color 4 went on today. Very selective inking with deeply extended turquoise on most of the print and opaque turquoise on the bottom left.

Color 5 will happen in a few days - stay tuned...

#printmaking #printsky #reductionlinocut #carousel #pony #bluemoon Second color done and thinking third color will be pink-ish. Lots of selective inking and wiping so the colors don't build up.

Linocut. Ursula Fookes 'Alpine Village' 1930

colour linocut in a Vorticist / Grosvenor School style. Predominantly white with shades of lilac and grey deep brown shapes of buildings in snow, some texture in the foreground and sky. Rhythmic curves hinting at an S-shaped composition
