Discover Wood and Linocut Prints
Wood and linocut prints are known as relief printing, in which images are incised, gouged, or shaved into blocks of either wood or linoleum, and the raised surface is inked to create the print when impressed on paper. When artists want a color print, they have to carve separate blocks, which is a painstaking process, so many wood and linocut prints are monochromatic.
