Three Color Reduction Linocut Process
The reduction linocut is a method of block printing in which each colour layer is taken from the same block. The process starts with carving a design into a new lino block and printing the first color on each sheet of paper in the edition. Then the printmaker carves more of the same block away and proceeds to print the second color. The process of carving and printing continues for each additional color until the final layer is printed.
In a reduction linocut, it is a good idea to work from the lightest to the darkest colour, as dark colours cannot be easily overprinted. After completion of the print, another edition can never be made because the block has been carved away during the creation process.
