Fun with printmaking! Revisiting my linoleum block to play around with color & texture. I wanted to create a gradient using red and yellow. However, the red is so strong it overpowered the yellow.

Below is the first result. As you can see, I didn’t put enough paint on the block. Plus, the paper I used is for watercolors. Unfortunately, I don’t have any decent printmaking paper. Anyway, I quite like the resulting texture. Delicious.

Next, I decided to try this thick, handmade paper and it didn’t take the paint very well.

Even though neither of these came out the way I wanted them to, I still like the result — mostly because of the textures.

Have you been experimenting with art, writing, or something else? Are you enjoying it?
