Stags - Design

Here are some designs for new linocuts I’m going to do. They all need a little more refining before I transfer them on to the lino blocks but I thought I’d post them at this stage so you can see how the ideas develop. I want to get the design of the stag the same on each block and I did ‘The White Stag’ first so that one needs the most work to pull him into line with the others. I’m going to try and print one of the colours on these prints using silver…which should be an interesting experiment :)

On a related note, I’m teaching a couple of ‘Introduction to Lino cutting’ classes. If you’re interested, further information can be found HERE :)

The Tree That We Walk Past

This is the second gold and oil painting “The tree that we walk past”…or one man and his dog if you prefer ;). A windy day and a road well travelled. I’m really pleased with the way these are turning out and the response of people that have seen them has been really positive, so hopefully I’m going in a good direction. :) Need to made some more supports tomorrow.
On another note, It looks like I’ll be teaching some “Introduction to lino cutting” classes in September, October, November…more details to follow :)
