I started by cutting straight in to the lino, but because there is a background, mid-ground and foreground in the image, I wanted to get the perspective accurate so I decided to draw the outlines out in pen. I have already painted this scene on canvas with acrylics so I know it quite well and the use of rope appealed to me for a lino cut because of the line work involved.
I have been experimenting with creating delicate marks and line work for the details such as that on the clothing. This takes a lot of care and concentration but hopefully it will be worth it when it adds depth and interest to the final print.
