female figure, linocut

Summer 2019, female figure linocut



This past week I completed another figure linocut. I've titled this female figure lino print, Summer 2019. It's an unlimited edition and is available in my GalleryJuana Etsy shop.

I started out with a loose line drawing of the figure. First I put down the general idea in "flesh" pencil. Next, I used yellow pencil to draw a more detailed sketch of the figure. By that time, I had a pretty good idea of how I wanted to do the figure line drawing, so I finished up with pencil.

The drawing went through further renditions in translating it to the lino. I think it works well on its own.

However, I am thinking of adding a background setting. I haven't quite decided on how simple or complex of a background or whether the background will be a lino print or hand drawn. Questions! Questions! So the coming weeks will be for brainstorming ideas.

I have heard the liquid murmur of the river through the darkness of midnight; ...
