Darker grey to darker green gradient. Careful placing of the roller on the plate was necessary to keep the border between the grey and green in the right place.

Etching lino again
03 July 2013
Etching lino again, this time trying to make a figurative picture.
I painted a bird shape with varnish, and then etched the block. The solid black in the middle is where the varnish held on, and resisted the caustic soda; the soft gray around the outside is where the block was etched. The white bits within the bird shape are where the varnish didn't resist the caustic soda.
Then I printed the block with a mask over the background.
And then on coloured backgrounds.
