Art lino cut prints.

My print looks bright and has a lot of texture to the base of the lino cut. My picture's expressionis a straight face, it has bold eyes that pull you towards it and make you want to look at it for just that little bit longer. It has a lot of character in it but you have to look at the details of the picture to really understand where im coming from.

My image represents a woodcut of a man which was designed by kathe kollwitz.

The wood cut has an expression of a bored and grummpy looking man. 

He isn't wearing any accessories.

The whole image takes up the printing pages space because its just a mans face but shows a lot of detail to the drawing.

My picture fills the whole lino peace that i was give to cut my picture.

The marks on my lino cut image have been added in by muself, around the eye theres alot of small cuts and rough edges and near the check bone are more neat and tidy cutting edges.

My lino cut picture is an open cropped image showing only the face and the side of his cheek.

Something that is not evident on my print is the cutting near in the eye you can't really see it but ive gone back and forth with different cutting directions and tried to add a bit more texture but its not as visible as i would have liked it to be.

There aren't many shaded areas on my lino print but there are soem darker areas then the rest of the print and thats the right side of the print theres a slight darkness to the edge of the print but overall there wasnt as much shadding as i would have liked to have in my image.


Here's an image of my final design finished.
