Artwork description:

A linoprint of a dog looking up beseechingly, his long elegant neck crowned by the angular clever fave. Based on a doberman of a friend.

What is a Linocut?
Linocut is a printmaking technique, a variant of woodcut in which a sheet of linoleum (sometimes mounted on a wooden block) is used for a 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. The linoleum sheet is inked with a roller (called a brayer), and then impressed onto paper or fabric. The actual printing can be done by hand or with a printer

Materials used:

240g paper, Linseed Oil Inks, Printing Press
