The print making process begins with taking a sheet of linoleum and tracing your design onto the linoleum. Once you have your design on the linoleum block your can start carving out the design. When your design is completely carved out you are now ready to print. You first chose the color of paint you want then but in on a platter. Be sure to not use too much or else in will be too sticky. Take a Brayer and roll the paint back and forth until it sounds like its sticking to the platter. Then put your linoleum design onto a piece of paper. Make sure the the design is facing up. Then you roll the Brayer over the design until the carvings or the only part left uncover. Then put the linoleum block on the paper your printing onto and press hard evenly. Then repeat the process until you are satisfied with your print. |
