Lino cut

I saw an exhibition in Helsinki, Finland about Hokusai and Hiroshige. Two Japanese artists during the 19 century. Their prints made with woodcut was amazing and very inspiring.

When I got home I had an urge to try that too. A good way is to try lino cut. This is my first lino cut. I had a black and white copy of a photo I had taken as model. I made a drawing on the linoleum and cut around it. It is time consuming if you want to make a detailed image but also quite contemplative. I am going to print in two colors so I made also a roughly cut plate for the background color. The main color will be black.

Winter garden, color pen and ink drawing

Theme on Illustrationfriday.com this week is Garden. Usually you think of lots of green and flowers. But there is also winter gardens that are just lovely! This place exist, almost. I have made changes that suits my imagination. It was a very beautiful winter day a year ago. We had two months of winter from the middle of january to the middle of mars in Stockholm. But this last winter season has never been so warm, since the start of messuring temperature 250 years ago. No snow and no cold! But I heard they had snow in Greece!
