My first attempt at a girlettes linoleum-cut print—“In Their New Duds”.
Print is not without charm, not a total dud; but not correct either…. (Dolls are harder than bears to get right. Their faces are deceptively simple.) Will keep trying. Much to learn about thinking in reverse, etc.
Definitely going in the right direction
ReplyDeletei have finally figured out what these lino cuts remind me of: old german woodcut prints. for some reason that just pops into my head. you've also done an amazing job on catching light in the cuts.

That’s interesting, Kirsten!
DeleteThanks re light—it’s challenging!
Nice glint in the eyes. And yes, there is a woodcut resemblance. I'm thinking of Frans Masareel.
ReplyDeleteOops -- Masereel.
DeleteVery cool! I’ve always admired Masereel//maybe he was a subconscious influence-/though probably it’s just a beginner’s fluke
