Snapshots – Birds – New linocuts for 2014

I have just finished this set of 8 new linocuts – Snapshots Birds – my first for 2014! So things are off to a flying start – excuse the pun!

They are a series of small linocuts of birds based around some of my ‘snapshots’ or photographs of birds. I love taking photos, as you will know from this blog but I am not a very technical photographer & use the photos as resource material for my drawings and linocuts. So here is a little insight where I have taken my ‘snapshots’ of birds and developed them into drawings and then finally handpainted linocuts.
