This video is an intermediate to advanced printmaking demonstration of a multi-color reduction linocut. If you’re looking for a tutorial rather than a demo, be sure to subscribe so you’ll see the 3-color beginner's reduction linocut video I’m working on for this channel.
The reduction method uses the same plate to print multiple colors. Each new color is printed on top of the previously printed colors, after more material is carved from the surface of the block.
Here is a playlist of videos focused on reduction block printmaking:
