Reduction Printing

In case you haven’t read the last paragraph, let me provide some context for the following lack thereof: I’m Tired. I’m Going Crazy. I have a lot to do. I apologize, Enjoy. I started with my Thumbnail Sketch, and after deciding how to go about printing what I needed to print. I got out the Linoleum (my printing plate), and I gouged out the first color with a V Gouge (because my artwork (Other than the background) was too detailed to use a U Gouge) on the Bench Hook. I then rolled the ink onto my plate with the brayer, and transferred the ink onto my paper four times. I repeated this, cutting out the colors that I had printed previously five times. Because I was reducing the material I was printing off of, it was a reduction print.
