Fifties Chickadee, prints available
I met Julia on twitter and was intrigued by her art. I had made simple block prints in school, but didn’t know a lot about it. I checked out Julia’s youtube tutorial videos showing how she makes her linocut prints. I thought I would pass them on to you. To see her start-to-finish printmaking drawing transfer, removing the drawing from the block, carving, and printing demo videos go to her YouTube Channel.
