As part of my research into the best way of producing some Fleamsy books for your delectation and delight, I have been looking again at
luboks. Unlike Western European woodcuts on broadsides and pamphlets, luboks were in colour.
I have tried some linocuts in colour, and am next going to see about linocuts which fake a lubok style. Here are some examples of my work with colour:
 |
| Plain Brown |
 |
| Green and Brown |
 |
| Green and Dark Green |
 |
| Green and Teal |
I think there are definite potentials there. Or
capabilities as my hero Capability Brown would have said. That reminds me, this weekend we are going to Kirkharle to see the Capability Brown visitor centre there. I'll take some photos for you. Toodles!
