Artwork description:

I make my Linocut Prints by hand in my studio in York. I carve the image out of a piece of Lino, roll a thin layer of ink onto the Lino and then print on acid free, 220gsm Windsor and Newton paper using oil-based inks. I then finish the prints by hand-colouring using a water based medium.
I often base my images on things I see in my local environment in the Yorkshire countryside or working on my allotment. There was once a family of noisy thrushes near my garden. They were very territorial and obviously guarding a nest. This print is one out of a limited edition of 100. Each print is numbered and signed. The prints vary slightly as they are hand made so they are all unique! These works represent an affordable way to collect handmade, limited edition art.
Please note the actual image size is 20 X 30 cm but the paper size is larger as there is a white border of approximately 5 cm around each side of the image to enable you to frame the image as you wish .
I use Royal Mail to send artwork abroad and it is first class and tracked postage.
All prints are wrapped in cellophane and are shipped in a sturdy envelope stiffened with card.

Materials used:

Printing ink, watercolour paint
