Goliath Beetle linocut print - turquoise

This is a handmade linocut print of a pair of Goliath beetles. Printed on 40gsm acid free Thai Mulberry paper (turquoise colour) with oil-based ink. The wings are printed with a metallic ink giving them a gorgeous shine. This paper is thin but very strong. Signed on the front and numbered. This is a limited edition of just 12 prints. Please note this print is unmounted and unframed.

Linocut is a form of relief printing where sharp tools are used to cut away areas of the lino block. The parts of the block which remain are printed. Colour is built up in stages by printing the lightest colours first, then cutting more of the block away and printing the next layer and so on.

Paper size: 46 x 35cm

Please note, there is another version of this print, printed onto a natural beige version of the paper.

As prints are made individually by hand please expect slight variation in detail and colour density, which makes every print unique.
