Linoprinting

Linoprinting is something that I never really took to much, I have recently thought about how it would be good for texture so this is something I wanted to try out.

The linoprints here I tried were white ink on black paper and black ink on the white paper, both of which I think have worked quite well. I liked that the images were not perfectly clean as it gave them a little texture to them, especially around the insects. The texture was also very interesting as it gave a good impression of what I cut out and also the texture around it. I also worked on top of the prints with gold and silver pens, I added lines to the back of the bugs and creating pattern around the insects.
