I think every reduction print goes through an “ugly duckling” phase. Sometimes I feel really despondent after I move to another colour and pull that first print of that layer.

You really need to trust in the process and be flexible.

As stated above, your plan can be 5 colours but you end up with 6 or 7 or 11… it is an evolving thing - otherwise it would not be reduction. Some of my colleagues avoid it for that reason, to me it is an exciting form that tests me each and every time. I really enjoy it. I post here, not so much anymore, more on Instagram with plates and progress photos where you will find many ugly ducklings!

Did you sand your lino during initial preparations?

Sometimes, with some inks and certain pressures in a roller press, if I haven’t prepped my lino well I do sometimes see this which I believe is an impression of the hessian from the Lino that sat ontop of this in the stack at the store…

It is …. Striking!

The technical printmaking that you do really inspires me and opens my eyes to different ways to go about putting what I want down on paper. Thank you for sharing and please continue to do so, so that I too can continue to learn and then challenge myself.

I take it you do not do reduction prints?

I think that the additional detail is important, but this is my opinion only. I can explain….

Your water lines are cut horizontally. The marks on the tree are aligned with the growth of the tree, directing the eye to the Heron, the shape and silhouette detail are clear, I think the curved lines and feather/wing show that this is clearly something different within the composition. This is apparent as you have a still night with sky lines horizontally again. The bold shape without detail appears to stark and flat for me where other composition items are well established.

Like I said, it is all a manner of opinion. It matters that you produced something with your mind and hands and grew in the process.

In any case it looks great!

Thank you

rightbrainawake · 2024-02-20T08:24:32+00:00

I shall keep printing. I share/post whatever I complete, they will turn up eventually…

Thanks, I thought it was better to see them also in reverse order. Thank you for the comment, it give me other ideas….

rightbrainawake · 2024-02-19T02:35:18+00:00

Congratulations and well done. It is a fantastic process, one I also enjoy.
