Linocuts & Block Printing

History Woodblock printing is a technique for printing text, images or patterns used widely throughout East Asia and originating in China in antiquity as a method of printing on textiles and later paper. Block printing started as the most basic form of printing to copy books and texts Later it became a decorative and art form

History Linocut is a printmaking technique, a variant of woodcut in which a sheet of linoleum (sometimes mounted on a wooden block) is used for the relief surface. A design is cut into the linoleum surface with a sharp knife, V-shaped chisel or gouge, with the raised (uncarved) areas representing a reversal (mirror image) of the parts to show printed.

Vocabulary Linocut – a design carved in relief into a block of linoleum Additive Art – adding materials to the surface of something to create art (Example: painting) Subtractive Art – taking away parts of an object or surface to create art (Example: carving) Reduction Linocut - An art process where an artist works in reverse to apply layers of color to build an image from the bottom up. Once an area of colour has been printed it must be carved away to allow it to show through when the next, darker colour is printed over the top. This calls for extreme accuracy in laying the same piece of paper on the lino block for each colour. It also means that the artist cannot go back to a previous colour because that part of the lino block has been carved away.

Vocab 2 Relief - sculpture consisting of shapes carved on a surface so as to stand out from the surrounding background Motif – A single or repeated design. Brayer – a hand roller used in printmaking techniques to spread ink or to offset an image from a plate to paper To Ink – the process of using a brayer to apply ink to a print block or plate Plate –a printable surface on which a relief carving has been made, another word for a lino block To Pull a Print – the act of transferring an inked plate’s image onto paper, stamping

Vocab 3 Print – The image made after the inked plate has been transferred to the paper. Proof – A test print to check the progress of the inked plate.  Register – To line up.  Edition – A series of final prints  Final – The last print on the paper. Monochromatic – The use of one color, plus they shadows and highlights Posterize – Using Photoshop to reduce a picture to just a few colors/shapes

Technique

Roll out ink with a brayer

Use brayer to lightly ink the plate

Makes the negative or reverse image…

Simple Linocut

Colors!

Reduction Linocut Creating an image by removing one layer at a time to reveal the colors below

From the Artist: This three-colour horned owl asking, "Who?" is unusual for me. I rarely make reduction prints. I printed this edition of only 5 prints on a press in a series of steps. First, I printed a flat yellow rectangle. Then, I carved away the areas of the lino which I wished to be yellow, like the eyes. I printed the red layer. I carved away more orangey feathers and the text, "Who?" - in reverse, of course. ;) Lastly, I printed the top, black layer of this nocturnal creature. -Ele Willoughby

How to do it… First, take your picture and posterize it in Photoshop… Identify 4 layers: White Light Grey Dark Grey Black

Second, transfer the drawing to your stamp…

Third, outline the pencil marks in sharpie marker Then use a blade to cut out anywhere in your plate that needs to stay WHITE

Next, mis your lightest color (I am using light green) Load your brayer and ink your plate with a medium amount of ink Too much and it will squish everywhere Too little and it will look patchy

Register your print on your paper Use a CLEAN brayer to press the plate into the paper evenly

Gently pull up your stamp (with clean hands Gently pull up your stamp (with clean hands!) and you have pulled your first layer!

Clean your stamp and then use a blade to cut away the part of the picture that needs to STAY LIGHT GREY (in my case – light green)

Mix white and your color to make a “dark grey” (I made medium green) Use your brayer to ink you plate, register your plate and pull a second print on top of the first layer of paint… see the difference?

Cut away the places that you want to stay dark grey (medium green). It will start to look creepy! Use your full strength color (I used just green… no white mixed in!)
