This linocut was prepared on basic, burlap backed linoleum, with black marker and 3 shades of watercolor washed over the drawing as a cutting-map to remind me where I wanted lights and darks.
I cut a square of non-skid cupboard liner under the plate to keep it steady (available in rolls in most kitchen supply aisles), and flexcut knives and gouges to cut the plate.
Pulling the inked plate from the paper on the press bed. (If you don't have a press, use a baren or a wooden spoon to rub the back of your paper against your inked block. See this post for more details on that: here.)

This post is posing quite a problem for my wallet!Lino cuts, barrens, chisels??? My god next thing you know I'll be needing one of those nifty small printers from Daniel Smith. Waaaaa. Not enough time and $$$$.
Thanks for the temptations
I enjoy all your artworks.I did a double take at this one...how do you manage to print like that without smudging? I lay paper on block.
Watercolour as a shading guide? Hmmm...another neat trick.Thanks for that tip.
Thank you for the details on process. This is wonderful information and so inspiring for someone like me...who hasn't made any kind of print since high school.
