Going into this workshop I was not too sure as to whether I would like to use this as a print process to produce my images, but I am actually really pleased with what I produced within the workshop - although the prints are a bit clumsy in places. With practice, however, I think I could produce something really visually pleasing. I think I will experiment with this more, perhaps go back to the workshop within the next couple weeks and produce some two colour prints of these images.
DISADVANTAGES:
- In terms of a print process it is very labour intensive.
- It can sometimes be confusing to figure out how the images will look when printed during the preparation stage.
- I enjoy simple bold shapes, and images that focus on composition. I think lino lends itself more to textured line work and more complicated imagery, therefore it might not work very well with my images.
ADVANTAGES:
- It produces really nice textured line drawings, and texture within the block colour as well.
- I could collage blocks of lino drawings - like I did for cop, which worked really well.
- I could use lino to create drawings, and then scan these in to create positives for screenprinting.
