At Chicken Hill we hand-pull limited edition varied prints on a Conrad combination press. Currently the prints are linoleum blocks, often reduction prints.
What are reduction linoleum prints?
Reduction is a method of printing where the image and all color layers are printed from one single linoleum block. Lino is removed from the block for each layer then each color is printed on top of the last. Planning ahead is critical as there is no going back. Colors are typically printed light to dark, and color variations can occur with transparent inks blending to create secondary colors.
New!
The Giant Pacific Octopus was printed with two blocks, one using a reduction method. First pass was a blend of orange and gold, second pass using a separate block in Prussian blue with a soap and water manipulation for texture. Third pass was the orange block reduced to a keyline in black, then further reducing with a red purple and a final pass of orange. The V.E. (Varied Edition) is 10 with one A/P (Artist’s Proof). Image area is 12″ x 15″, paper trimmed to 18″ x 24″.
