PORTRAIT IN LINO

FIRST PORTRAIT IN LINO

After some small linocuts that I did to practice in this technique in a piece of vinyl, I challenge my self to do the portrait of my son, I used different tools to make diffetent marks, I also use a hit pistol because the vinyl can melt very easy as you can see at to right top corner.
