Linocut & Watercolor: Together

Together 4 x 6 Linocut & Watercolor
Available here.
An afternoon visiting my friend jmc: tea, fruit, flowers and printmaking. The reference photo next to my block is my grandparents, at the beach, awhile ago. They've been married for 72 years now.

Back in the studio last night, ready to ink the block and pull a proof print: Daniel Smith oil based relief ink rolled out on a glass sheet with a brayer, and a baren nearby for rubbing the paper against the inked block.

The first Artists' Proof, on cream colored BFK Rives printmaking paper.

Painted with watercolor as soon as the ink was dry.

Beautiful. The khaki pants was definitely the way to go.

So beautiful, you make is seem so easy, just a linocut at tea. Easy it's not and I know that from infrequent experience.
