Reduction printing is quite a struggle for me. Envisioning how the layers interact doesn’t come easily. A small mistake can make a big difference, which is why practice is so important! 😁 #printmaking #linocut #reductionprint #newyork

Lovely angles in this design! Reduction printing does get easier and slightly more predictable….but the ‘happy accidents’ often provide the magic! It’s also important to review the plan after each layer. If you stick to a plan too rigidly, you sometimes don’t respond to the emerging print enough!
thank you! That's true. And that's what I need to learn. Embrace the happy accidents! 😁 Sometimes it hurts too much when things don't go my way and I don't want to start over 😆
That's a good idea. The hardest part for me is how colors affect the layers. I can plan ahead but sometimes accidents happen. A wrong color mix would affect the overall outcome. 😅
