Drawing is important to keep the hand eye brain links active. I am not managing every day yet, but working on it! It doesn't matter what you draw and can be better approaching something you are not used to drawing!

I have started work in the first new print of 2021. 

We have been walking most days from our village and I take photographs as we go.

I make a drawing based on the photoIMG 20210123 205456

 

Then reverse the image and decide what size it will be, then apply it to the lino.

I make pencil rubbings to check progress, quicker and easier than making an ink print

Now it is ready for the first test print!

I have at last found my way to get an image on here! 

I have started cutting a new block for this year's card, so far so good, and hopefully gift tags to follow.
