Chapter 2 Module 1 Paper Samples

Printed Paper Samples

This was an exercise with infinite permutations and the big challenge was knowing when to stop! The recipe for each
sample is on the back so that it can be replicated and all were tacked on to the backing sheet  with blu-tak.
I played around with dilute washes and pure ink mixes and tried to achieve different finishes with sponge, brush and diffuser
application.
I hadn't made a lino block for years and was surprised how easy the new lino alternative was to cut. I chose to copy my
estoile motif which is quite starfish like. The effect I think worked best was picking up two or three shades of acrylic on the block.
