Went to the print room on Friday to try printing the two lino's I had been working on. I've never done lino before so wanted to give it a go, see if I enjoyed it or not.
Got taught a few little things while I was there, such as how much ink to use and how to apply it etc. The ink needs to sound like sizzling bacon when you use your roller on it. To get an even amount of ink, you have to just roll once, then get more ink on the roller and roll the next section and so on.
I really enjoy the whole process of lino, from tart to finish. At this point in time I'm seriously considering lino for my finals, I just need to consider time limit, and think about the other options first. We have workshops this week so shall have a good think about this after them.
- Need to work on precision of line, however I do like that its not perfect. I think thats what I love about this process.
- Need to work on getting finer details, perhaps need a smaller tool for this.
- Generally just need to practice some more.
