‘Cecile’ (an imaginary friend), layers one and two, reduction print. Dark layer first, then white which shows up as a lovely blue-grey. I may leave some like this, and add birds to others.. #printmaking #linoprinting #reductionprint

Missed last week’s #printpromptmonday as I don’t think I’ve ever successfully carved text! This week’s #growth is still a challenge but gone for this.. Ganesha in progress on the grounds that he’s a sized-up version of an older print😬 (pictured)

Drawing for a new print. The multiple drawing and tracing processes of a multi-block print, complicated by the realisation that I’d forgotten to include the specified background..(it’s a commission..) Back, literally, to the drawing board 😬 #linoprinting #ganesha #commission

#printpromptmonday #process A block in the process of creating a five layer reduction Lino print (layers 2-4 shown). The block is gradually carved away to create each layer, and in this case I am working from dark to light for that extra challenge😉 #linoprinting #reductionprinting

Layer four of five. Reduction Lino print. She also has a separate ‘frame’ block to print at the end #printmaking #linoprint #reductionprint

I rarely repeat, but agreed to make a painting to commission similar to a very popular one.. Enjoyed that, again;) #painter #printmaker #commissionedart

Layer two of a dark-to-light reduction Lino print. Always a bit of a brain adjustment working this way around.. #printmaking #linoprinting #reductionprinting

Proserpina’s third layer, of five or six depending how it pans out;) #linoprinting #reductionptint #reliefprint

For #printpromptmonday #spring I’m going with this new blue print, as I called it ‘The tulip-seller’s daughter’. The tulips and colour definitely give it a spring-like vibe for me and I made it in April😉💙

Completed reduction print based on a sketch, which was itself based on a short story I wrote for a contest. Probably not destined to be my biggest seller but my brain loves what it loves;) #printmaking #linoprinting #reductionprint

Progress of a dark-to-light reduction test print. Full print awaiting carve, as long as this works! All good so far😉 #printmaking #linoprint #reductionprint

A series of prints following the stages of a reduction Lino print. Images in black and white inks of a section of a face, as a text print for the full composition

Nearly forgot #printpromptmonday #earth but here’s the best fit I can find. Still thinking of reprinting in a subtley different way🤔

Miki update. Just pressed layer three, now to carve and print the final layer. #linoprinting #reductionprint

IngPrintmaker / Ingrid Nilsson @ingprintmaker.bsky.social · 19/04/2025

Another new thing. Like to have a few on the go, especially when they are reduction prints 😊 #printmaking #linoprinting #reductionprint

#printpromptmonday #friends I called this print-heavy painting ‘Fugacious friends’, so seems apt for the prompt. Pardon the transgression from strictly print🙏😉

Mixed media print/paint on board. Blue and white was the self imposed brief; not sure blue hellebores are actually a thing. #printmaking #painting #mixedmedia

‘Crepuscular Creatures’ - five layer lino reduction print. Twilight is when the swifts swap places with the bats, and the veil is thin between our world and the dimension of the supernatural creatures that shadow us in daylight.
