Fishing town, Hand pulled Linoprint

Description

Fishing town, Hand pulled Linoprint.

Much like "fishing pier" ( another of my prints) it was my intention to convey a real sense of place, rather than a representation of a specific town on the east coast of Scotland. This town represents some of the buildings, Lighthouses and architecture which i have stopped to draw, in the tiny quaint fishing villages which pepper the east coast of Fife. These villages inc Ceres, Pittenweem, Tayport and Saint Andrews. The handsome, simple architecture is like that found nowhere else in Scotland,and I wanted to capture some of that understated beauty in this print.
The print measures approx 68cm by 53cm, is printed using linseed oil based inks, designed specifically for relief printmaking and is printed on acid free, archival paper (heritage). Signed, numbered and dated.
The process of linoprinting involves hand drawing on to a piece of linoleum, using lino cutting tools to then cut the piece and finally hand printing using a Press ( the one i use is 170 yrs old but it is not neccessary to use one this old, just really rewarding to do so!).This print is numbered a/p (artist print) because although there are only 40 of them I printed others in different colours. But since there are only 40 of these prints in existance and i never reproduce my work digitally, rest assured you will own something very rare.

Feel free to convo me with any questions and thank-you for taking the time to look.
