Why bother with Printing making, why not just Paint?Think about all the time and effort you put into a painting. Then the joy is selling or giving out it. Trouble is, when it gone, it is gone. And you have to start all over again with the next work. Even if going to store, it will cost you energy and money to keep it for a long time but not all lifetime.Print is different. You just need to carve your design on the linoleum block, as an original artwork, whether it's simple lines or a complete painting. The lino is then inked; a piece of paper placed over it, and then run through a printing press or pressure applied by hand to transfer the ink to the paper. The result is a linocut this way, you can share your artwork over and over again with minimum effort. Like when writing a song, the artist sells a recording, not the tune itself.Steps for usage:Step 1: Methods for transferring images to blocka. Direct Drawing: draw directly on the linoleum surface with pencil or marker, bearing in mind the resulting image will be reversed when printed.b. Transfer: simply ‘shade’ or cover the back side of the paper your image is drawn on with a thick layer of soft graphite pencil until the image area is 2: Carving with lino cutting toolsUsing either a bench hook or non-slip mating, brace the linoleum block on a clean, smooth work area large enough to allow you to place both elbows comfortably on either side of the block. Start by outlining large solid areas, work into derails after the overall image form has been developed, and leave large areas to be cleared 3: Printing the carved blockCarefully and gently wipe away all traces of the image transfer with clean lint free cloth wetted with acetone based nail polish remover until the linoleum is clean and uniform before printing.
