Lino Prints

I had a small attempt at a lino print. I have used this media before some years ago so was familiar with how to use it. I chose a small section of one of my continuous line observations using a viewfinder to do my lino print. Because it has to be done in layers and i only had a short amount of time i only did one layer. First i cut out the whites of the eyes because thats what i want to keep white and printed using a beige colour which i wanted to be the colour of the skin. My next step would have been to cut out the areas i would want to keep the beige colour and leave the lines which i would have done a darker colour. I thought just having the whites of the eyes cut out looked very sinister so because i knew i was running out of time i experimented with a darker colour to see the effect.
