Linoleum Printmaking

Linoleum printmaking can take a lot of forms and approaches. Here is one of them.

2 Value Portrait: Using a portrait and photoshop or similar photo editing software, convert the photo into 2 value zones (black and white). Flip the image (since it will print backwards). Carve all areas that will be white and print.

Materials: Paper (relatively thin works the best. Brayer, bench hook, lino, lino ink and a gauge.
