New Reduction Linocut – Bear on Bike

Reduction Linocuts are a fun way to print with more than one color, using just one block

Layer 1 of the print-the block is on the far left, the ink on the right, and examples of the print in the center

You have to do some planning. For the first layer, you carve the white areas away, then print with the lightest color.

Layer 2 – the print with (now with 2 layers) in the foreground, the block is further in the distance

Then you carve the block again, removing all the areas where you want the light color to remain.

Continue the process until the design is finished!

Prints using this technique are extra special, because the block for each color is destroyed as part of the process–creating a limited edition that can not ever be re printed.

All that remains of the block after printing the third and final color
