Finished new bird portrait! It’s a reduction linoleum print with 12 (!) colour layers. It’s the 9th of a series of bird portraits I’m working on. The portrait is inspired by the Magpie. I do mix all colors myself and I have to make a lot of color tests to achieve these vibrancy and shades working well together. It’s a limited edition print run of 50 prints. For each colour layer I did carve more linoleum away from one block. As a result, the linoleum block is reduced to almost nothing and not suitable anymore for reprinting. 

DETAILS

  • Printed on Strathmore paper, ‘natural white’, 184 lb.
  • Paper size 6 x 6 inch
  • Image 4.13 x 4.13 inch, with underneath the number, signature and year
