I've started a new reduction print for an event in Leicester, called "Small print, big impression". The maximum size is 10 x 10 cm, so that is what I am using. It suits me well as I've always enjoyed working in a square format. I already had a good number of hare drawings in my sketchbooks and these two just seemed to fit perfectly.
I cut out everything I wanted to remain white then printed my first colour - yellow - in my home studio, using Speedball waterbased ink. Next I went to FDPW in Dunfermline and printed it again with oil based ink.
More cutting back home and the next colour - a yellow/burnt sienna mix.
This is the smallest reduction print I've done and unusually I haven't done a detailed plan of my colours so I'm sure there will be surprises ahead!
