Hand Printed 'Plumes' Linocut of Crashing Waves Against a Deep Sunset During Storm Babet
Developed from sketches and watercolour paintings made on a walk along Beadnell Links during Storm Babet, this moody wave artwork brings all the energy of the whipped up sea. The sky is made up of a blend of deep purple, hot pink and fiery orange which creates a stunning contrast against the multitude of blues in the sea.
Green streaks of light bounce off the surface of the water further out to sea and what is left of the sun creates a pale yellow glint amongst the white wash.
The Process
The print was created using the linocut reduction method, which means that I used one block that I carved more away from after each layer. Owing to the nature of this, the print can never be reprinted and that makes it extra special. It also means that any mistakes (i.e. carving too much) runs the whole thing so you have to be confident and careful with the process. There are 6 layers of oil based ink on archival grade paper meaning that the colours will sing for generations to come.
The subtle texture of the cotton and wood pulp mix paper brings a mottled nature to each layer of ink creating additional light and a beautifully crafted quality to the surface of the work.
The intention with all of my work is to bring joy to your walls and for you to have something that you can pass on through future generations.
