This is a growing collection of sheep that I’m etching with caustic soda and carving.
At an open studio event some people saw my Romney linocuts at an open studio event, and were quick to suggest breeds local to them. As I continue to add different breeds from around the UK so you can collect your own flock. These sheep portraits have become more about Identity.
I have printed on Somerset Satin paper and used Cranfield Safe Wash Relief Inks with a Pooki Press. Today I was trying out a new colours, these were supposed to be a warm grey, but I’ve not got the greatest range of colours yet so will add more colours and experiment with application and mixing soon.





Great collection of lino sheep portraits! The combination of line with the caustic soda intaglio creates such interesting effects.
Happy PDiM,
