Happy Birthday George! My Rosie has a birthday this month as well ♥️🐾

I do! Is this you? I wonder how often we crossed paths there 🙂♥️🎨🐾?

Did you find additional considerations working with such a large print? I'm considering going larger in my reduction prints and realizing it's quite a different animal. 🙂🎨🐾

Yellow Warbler in Cherry Blossoms.
This is a lino reduction print where you carve a layer, print, carve more, repeat. There is nothing left to the lino block when you reach the final highlights.

Eastern Bluejay.
I tried many variations to get the splash of blue just right. I adore ultramarine blue.
My art can be found at Backstreet Gallery in Florence, Oregon. They can ship art!

Yellow Warbler in flight.
This also uses the technique of carving a splash of drybrushed paint for the yellow. I liked the hint of ochre where typically the bird would have red. I created my own warbler, lol!

A Goldfinch in flight.
The art challenge was "a splash of color." I took a dry brush of paint & carved the outline of that splash of color to make the yellow highlight. It was fun to create so I made two other birds in this style.

Such beautiful watercolor effects, with oil? Do you use additives to thin the ink, or any special tricks? Great start on this layer one!! ♥️🐾

OMG this is wonderful! I've a fondness for both cats and poppies, or most any flower. But I'm going to winter start some poppy seeds this weekend. Fingers crossed for good luck with the Bluesky drawing and my poppy starts ♥️🐾

I can't wait to see more of this! I adore mokuhanga and hope to be inspired to get back to it. Beautiful effects!

"Marigold Monarch", my first lino reduction print. I've learned so much since this, yet this one is always so striking to me.
Each color is printed separately, and any error would ruin the edition. I love the challenge and discipline of this art form!

Just signed up! I'm learning the ropes. Hopefully I can cultivate more interesting content soon.
