Vin Rouge

Managed to do a print using only two colours*. It's hard work trying to recognise that you don't need to capture every nuance of shade and light, or record every detail of the subject. Sometimes, the image is stronger for what you leave out. They say drawing is just learning to see; perhaps it's also learning not to see.

*Arguably, it's three colours, because the white of the paper is an important part of the design.



Two stage reduction linocut, 10 x 10cm. With apologies for the punning title.
