linocut

I've learned a lot from the first 2 of 3 classes with Thomas Rude. The first one I did was ok- it was the doodly sort of thing I used to draw 14 years ago. It looks better in pen, I can tell ya that. The second one I decided to cut around the drawing- leaving the design to print in black. I'm really pleased with the way it came out. My first attempt at a cityscape wasn't bad. I need to do some cleanup and tweak my method. Ultimately I'd like to paint a watercolor sky, print a carved city on that, paint the buildings with acrylic, then do the linework. 'Cause the process as it is isn't long enough. yeah.
