Linocut, Ocean, deals fish, black and beige, handprinted, signed, Mariann Johansen-Ellis

the miracle of fish living under water, never ceases to amaze

WHAT IS A LINOCUT?: A handprinted linocut reduction print, reduction means that as I am printing the very short edition of only 6 prints , I cut away areas to keep the color I just printed. This is quite a complicated process, great fun, as you don't really know how the print is going to turn out until the end, it is a technique I enjoy very much, as it feels quite like you are sculpting with your linocut knife and painting with your roller of ink. Experience has taught me incredibly much about this way of printing, managing the ink, using pressure, etc etc, given the choice this is my favorite way of printmaking!

All my lino prints are printed by me, printmaking is my big love!
I have used muted black and beige for this fish print, printed with water based inks.

SIZE: "Ocean" is printed on a crisp white piece of velvety printmaking paper,
the image measures 20" x 14" (50cm x 35cm )
and paper measures 22" x 16". (57 cm x 41 cm)

EDITION: I have signed, titled and numbered the print. It is one of 6 prints in this deals color, the total edition is 12 prints.
Please note you might not receive the number in the photo.
This print is not difficult to DIY frame, you can use a standard frame and order a mat board cut to the image size with a nice paper surround.

SHIPPING: I'll mail it to you, from my studio in Denmark, packed with great care, see my reviews.
It comes with a flier explaining what a lino reduction is, see thumbnail.
