Here’s the 12th print of my bird portraits series. This new portrait is inspired by the Barn swallow. It’s a reduction linoleum print with 11 colour layers. And I just love the colour palette of this one. Not only because I’m a fan of blue.

Happy to show you these freshly finished new reduction linoleum prints! I printed 12 colour layers for this piece. I think a little explanation is in order here, since I printed the same yellow a total of 5 times at different moments in the process. After each color I printed this yellow one again so…

They are limited edition print runs. Each print is individually inked…
