"Desert Towers" lino block print











Finally the ink has dried. This print was first composed as a sketch and then I carved it in a piece of linoleum. I used a speedball block print ink on rice paper. I printed it onto the paper by using a rolling press. Overall I am still unhappy with the print quality. I think that the ink is rolled on to uneven. The paper it self is very fragile which effects the whole printing process. For my next block print I am going to try a thicker paper like BFK rives.
