  5. Characteristics of Woodcuts • Began as black and white images only, but layering and colour were later used • Flat, solid shapes, dramatic colour, design and composition • Historically used for theatre and portraits, but primarily landscape and nature since the 15th c • Plays on the use of positive and negative space

  6. Qualities and Techniques • The idea is to overlap transparent coloured areas, reinforced with dark lines, details and shapes • Carve away the parts you want to stay the page colour (white) • Lino is very similar to woodcut but it is easier to carve the surface and it gives you more precision and a greater variety of effects • Can have small or large editions, and there is no need to destroy your plate because you work it away • Woodcut techniques: Bevelled carving (chiseling), denting, scratching, poking. Used to add the appearance of shading

  7. Process • Draw or paint preliminary image • Imprint the drawing FACEDOWN on the block (reversing the image) so that the result will be positive • Background is to be printed FIRST and progress to the foreground until the final, and most detailed, layer last • Always cut AWAY from yourself!!
