Block Printing Negative Space at Peter Dumas blog

Block Printing Negative Space. Block printing is all about creating a “relief” image, meaning the lines you carve out will become the negative space of your finished print. It will be the fabric showing through. If you carve out the negative space instead of the positive space on accident, your block will still work, but it will look completely. The positive area is the. The negative space is that which won’t be printed onto the fabric surface; As you begin to carve, plan out which areas you’d like to keep and which ones you want to remove to create your design. Today i’m sharing the process of creating my first reduction linoleum block print from sketchbook to final print. Take scraps of linoleum and run them along the side of your block when inking it up.

You can block off the negative space with a small piece of paper, cardstock or tape while inking the rest of the lino block. The process for printing on fabric is very similar to printing on paper, however in my opinion, block printing on fabric is much easier because you don’t have to worry about. This technique focuses on carving away large areas of the lino to create negative space, leaving only the main subject raised.
